Here is a theory.
He needs cover for that middle class life he is faking.
He may have threatened her if she divorced him and perhaps to keep her silent in case she ever started to suspect him.
She probably had learned to be afraid of him over time since he was a sadist and a narcissistic psychopath (my guess). (i.e. delusions of granduer, manipulative, lack of remorse or empathy, anti-social criminal behavior, risk taking behavior, lying).
You get to know your spouse pretty well and she would have seen through the mask and his deception eventually, whether she knew anything more is just speculation abscent evidence. Probably figure out he was scary, brutal, dangerous, and sadistic though.
It appears from complaints from a client or employees she may have had some socipathic traits and / or borderline personality herself.
Possibly a result of PSD from living with him or as a result of what is called narcissistic abuse which is psychological torture a narcissistic inflicts on significant others. One reason they are so difficult to be around. Or she may have been born that way but I wonder if two narcs would seek each other out, might have to make up a new disorder for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Dysfunctional family, truly.
Not sure what Paul Holes suspicions would be, but I guess there has been plenty of specualtion.
I see her more as a victim who was probably being manipulated by fear by a cunning psychopath. Time will tell.
Also, and this is “old fashioned”, but I’m a pretty devout catholic. If my husband and I had to part ways and there was no ground for annulment, I would hope that we would just be able to separate for reasons of faith.
Also I should have added on the faith point: Catholics are generally against surrogacy. So this could be a part of the puzzle fitting together
