She may be dumb, but more likely she is not.
Think of all the people who believed Obama. Plenty of them are stupid and uneducable, but many are very well educated. They didn’t get sucked into the Obama camp overnight. They got there a little at a time.
This woman did, too. A major difference is that this is her husband, not a political candidate. This is the person that she trusts more than anyone else in the world. She took a vow for better or for worse. She can’t just change her vote. She would like to believe him.
Ask yourself this - If you found some mildly suspicious evidence about your spouse, would you immediately run out and file for divorce? Or would you give your spouse the benefit of the doubt and allow him/her to explain?
I think she is behaving in a very intelligent way in a very difficult and bewildering situation. She is actively trying to find out whether this is possible. She is asking all the right questions.
Did she name the guy, if so, that is revenge...if not you are correct.
