I’ve seen people wonder why Shanann would take a 6 week trip to NC if her marriage was in trouble.

The thing is, before she left, she didn't know it was in trouble.

CW was being very lovey dovey with her. She told him in a text that before she left, he couldn't keep his hands off her (Discovery page 2102, pdf 1907). So that wasn't just something she told friends to make things look better than they actually were.

These photos are from the last Thrive trip they took together to San Diego, CA at the end of June 2018.

CW holds Shanann on the boat, rubs her back by the pool. This was just 1-2 days before she went to NC. How could she have known? He deceived her.

I believe he deliberately sweet talked her so she would go to NC thinking everything was fine. Because right after she left he was jumping in bed with NK.

And I mean immediately. Shanann and the girls left on June 26, and the very next day CW was texting NK about a “cheat meal” of “ice cream, cookies and lollipops”.

Two days after that, he was telling her that “sleeping without your warm body next me isn't going to be fun tonight”.

He did the same thing again, four days before the murders - he suddenly became amenable and agreed to work on the marriage. I believe he did this so Shanann would go to AZ and he could put his murder plans in motion.

This seems to have been his M.O. - to lull her into a false sense of security so he could do something behind her back.

This is the real Chris Watts - sneaky, manipulative, two faced. Says one thing and does another.

It makes me wonder what other things he did behind her back while smiling to her face, during the 8 years they were together…
