minus-squarelivus@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Idk, maybe she played the long game. Her husband has turned into a sociopathic wealth hoarder divorce or keep her head down so she can redistribute all of it when he’s gone. Seems like she made a legit choice to me. I’d rather someone did the right thing late than not at all - I’d save my ire for the people who don’t.
