you have any objections to us looking at
everything in your phone
in a way she's almost a younger a more
vibrant version of shenan as soon as he
met nicole kessinger chris wanted out
she knew that he would always choose her
that tells you everything you need to
know about chris watts is that he didn't
know what it felt like to love someone
this is my flesh and blood this is like
what
i wanted all my life
[Music]
my name is chris watts i'm doing my
speech on a relationship deterioration
and repair
nicole kessinger is one of chris watts
co-workers in weld county when she first
meets chris she's under the impression
that he's just a young bachelor who's
looking for love good guys are difficult
to find especially when you're in your
30s and you're not married yet and here
he was right here in her office
sometimes when you get married
that the lust and the desire kind of
falls by the wayside a little bit you no
longer experience closeness you feel you
might do better with someone else that
you that you've met chris ends up
telling her you know i am married right
now and i do have two young daughters at
home
i think nicole kessinger saw in chris
exactly what the world saw in chris he
was an all-around nice guy
or that was the mask that he portrayed
all of chris's friends described him
as a laid-back person but very
self-contained nobody felt like they
really knew him
so pink means
that's just the test i don't know
they're just the pink is gonna be girls
i don't know
to chris watts nicole kessinger was a
breath of fresh air she was not shenan
she wasn't the wife she wasn't the
mother
she had nothing tying her down she was
different he was sort of in these
routines with shanann and the girls that
had become
you know monotonous nikki kessinger was
listening to him and respecting him in a
way that he had never felt before i
think at that point it was an easy
decision for him to start an affair
they're texting almost non-stop even
though he's at home with his wife and
his children shanann has no clue what's
going on behind her back
[Music]
shanann goes away thinking that this is
a way to reset the relationship not
knowing that it was actually igniting
and fueling the relationship that chris
has with nicole the perfect storm of
factors that the affair began when
shenan and the girls left for the summer
for six weeks chris is taking nicole out
on dates this is his opportunity to
fully date without any eyes watching him
nicole kessinger and chris watts had a
dating life that was probably something
like you know 20 somethings would do
you're so damn sexy
yeah intoxication of affair is a very
very powerful drug
sex is a powerful drug chris is taking
illicit photos of nicole and saving them
to his phone in a secret app he was able
to do all these things that he wasn't
able to do because he had children and
he had a family and he had
responsibilities
and he's willing to do whatever it takes
to continue to explore this relationship
everything was sunshine and roses and i
can't wait to see you again and i'm
addicted to you and everything a young
suitor would say to a woman when he
first starts dating her in the height of
his passion for nikki he googled what
does it feel like when someone says i
love you and i think that tells you
everything you need to know about chris
watts and his attachments is that he
didn't know what it felt like to love
someone
shanann is in north carolina with bella
and cece multiple times she's trying to
reach chris she's calling she's texting
him and many of the times he's not
responding at all or as quickly as he
normally would
that's when shenan starts to realize
something's off here there there's
something else going on
[Music]
chris shows up and he's pretty distant
to shanann
[Music]
north carolina chris was on his phone a
lot shenan was starting to question why
he was being so distant who were you
texting because it was a big huge red
flag she's texting her friends saying
he's not only being weird when he was at
home but now chris isn't even being
physically close to me even though we've
been apart for so long
support each other possible positive
evaluations
positive feelings always disclose your
feelings as i said
[Music]
it's time to return to regular life
shanann set up a gender reveal party
where friends family neighbors were to
come and find out that they were going
to be having this baby boy she's
starting to realize something's going
wrong here this is supposed to be an
incredibly happy time for both of them
he changed his mind about the babies all
of a sudden he sort of had this new
interest his mind was with another woman
she's suspecting that maybe he's
cheating on her
[Music]
you have to ask yourself three questions
when you're in a relationship do i have
a desire to keep this relationship going
do i have a moral obligation to stay in
this relationship or is it is it a
necessity for me to stay in this
relationship shortly after shanann
cancels the gender reveal party she goes
on a business trip to arizona
they go out to a restaurant chris whines
and dines nicole but then realizes he
doesn't have any way to pay for the meal
other than with the credit card he
shares with shanann shanann receives a
notification about a credit card that
chris had used at the lazy dog
restaurant
that exceeded the amount of money that a
normal person would use on his own meal
and she's thinking there's no way that
one person ate and drank sixty dollars
worth of food that was the first moment
shenan felt like she had proof something
else was going on
[Music]
janan knew the marriage was in trouble
she
sent chris a self-help book she wanted
to go to counseling whereas chris's
solution for dealing with the problem
was to plot murder relationships are
hard but
they're worth it in the end
and as the swedish proverb says
a double joy is a share of joy and a
double sorrow is not a shared sorrow
thank you
it's early in the morning when her
friend nicole atkinson drops her off at
her home nicole atkinson was under the
impression that she was taking shenan
home to a place that should be a place
of comfort a place of security there's
no way she could have known that she was
actually dropping her off to her final
moments on earth
[Music]
calling because i'm concerned about um a
friend of mine nicole will have an
officer come out that way as soon as we
can
they're looking around they go upstairs
there's no sign of shan'ann or the girls
i believe he thought that we would
believe him
you're afraid people think you may have
done something
[Music]
you
