Mary was Joseph's only wife, and her fulfillment in raising a large and healthy family is to her greatest credit. The NT scriptures do not treat Mary particularly well, but that likely was due to the strong impressions Yeshua left on his disciples by having to make so many dismissals of her importance to him to counter the errors that he knew were coming from RCC heresy in the next few centuries.

"Mary was Joseph's only wife..." Now it is you who have gone off the reservation and are dabbling in extra-scriptural speculations. Wishing it so does not make it so. You are going to have to prove this from Scripture, chapter and verse or abandon the SS argument forever.
Peace be with you
