This is a quote from Andrea's father in the article.
Maybe and maybe not. Marriage is a tough row to hoe even when the husband isn't frequently absent. Some wives have a low tolerance for absences. Some grin and bear it. I think a lot of career navy wives actually resent it when hubby returns because they have been running the whole show without assistance. Her willingness to be a surrogate mother (the article doesn't say when) is outside of my experience. I'm sure it introduced a dynamic into the marriage but I can't explain the effects of that particular dynamic.
Do we have details as to just how long the soldiers had been back home before the murders were committed? Also, from what I recall of reading in the original articles, in every case the children were NOT in the house...they were with relatives. Did this occur to allow the couples some time alone, or wass it planned by the soldiers so the kids wouldn't be at the scene...??
My husband thought that the expensive bicycle Andrea used in triathlons could have introduced a negative dynamic into the marriage.
Arguements? Sure; but not murder.
