Yep. His poor wife really doesn't have many options. I can’t imagine she has much real choice about leaving. She’s a 27-year-old mother of 4 children ranging from a baby to a 5-year-old. She has a high school education at best, has never dated or had sex with anyone besides Josh, and is surrounded by people who will push her to forgive him.
Full disclosure. I have a major problem with the way this " Quiverfull" or "Christian Patriarchy" movement treats women.
My scenario is: she’ll apologize for her sin of not being desirable enough to keep his faithful or being to demanding that he take out the garbage, or whatever else made her not ****able enough to keep him from sinning. Because Josh Duggar’s sexual urges are not Josh Duggar’s fault. They are the fault of his wife who was not attractive or available enough. She's very likely been conditioned to think that way and I'm sure the family will encourage it. Chattel doesn’t really get to complain about what its owner does.
Sexually repressive, cloistered upbringing? Probably a very accurate sentiment, Titan.
