Double trouble!
A Texas husband was charged with bigamy when his third wife discovered he was getting re-married to another woman through a Facebook post as the married couple never divorced.
Marcus Shorten, who has already gone through two separate divorces in his lifetime, wed a woman named Tammie in 2012, but decided to separate after seven years together, according to KTRK .
The couple still talked occasionally and even discussed going through the legal proceedings of a divorce.
“I didn’t want a divorce, I’m getting me some help Tammie, I don’t want a divorce I don’t want my family to think of me as a failure,” Tammie claimed her 53-year-old husband said.
Tammie was shocked to learn last December about a wedding registry for an upcoming union between Shorten and a new woman.
The scandalizing discovery forced Tammie to confront her husband over the surprising nuptials.
“I told him, ‘Before you let the whole world know what you’re doing, make sure your business is right,'” Tammie told the outlet.
Shorten doesn’t appear to have taken Tammie’s advice as he married his new wife on Jan. 27, 2024 at the Fifth Ward Church of Christ, Houston marriage records viewed by the Post showed.
The quadrupled-married man has celebrated the big day in 1991, 2000, 2012 and 2024.
The angry wife called the police on her husband, knowing that being married to two different women was a crime in the US.
“I knew it was wrong, you not only have destroyed my life, but now you have destroyed somebody else’s life and all the parties that are involved in it,” Tammie explained.
