The Dishonest Phhony: The Perfect Mormon Father And Wife

Decent Essays
It's not our responsibility to care about Colette's feelings or the kids. Shay is the one that did it and the one that embarrassed his entire family. The joke was well deserved. He's a dishonest phony. I feel not one ounce of pity for him or his family. He sat up on his high horse for YEARS criticizing others with his dopey wife by his side encouraging it all. He relishes in that role of the perfect Mormon father and husband who did no wrong.

If he was honest and apologized for everything I would feel this was a low blow but he hasn't. He was still being dishonest with that woe is me I'm an alcoholic bullshit. He never fessed up to the DMs with the cam girl.

    Sham marriages, also known as marriages of convenience, are normally undertaken to allow one party to gain a right of entry into England and British citizenship. Although the parties to such a marriage do not plan to live together but, to divorce at the earliest opportunity, the marriage is nonetheless valid, (Mary Welstead, Family Law, 2013). It is illegal for anyone to get married solely for the purpose of getting, or helping someone to get, permanent residence in the United Kingdom. There are stiff fines and possible jail terms for people who are convicted of this crime. However, we would be foolish not to address the fact that many people attempt to fake a marriage to obtain a British citizenship.…
