Why Women Like Anna Duggar Stay Married
In recent days, news broke that Josh Duggar, son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of TLC’s “19 Kids & Counting,” was arrested on charges of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse images.
Although this comes as a shock to many in the evangelical community, it did not surprise anyone from the outside who’s been watching for the past decade. In 2015, it was discovered that during Josh’s older teenage years, he had molested multiple family members and a family friend in the Duggar’s home but was never legally charged. Instead, he was sent to a Christian rehab that his father claimed cured him of his sexual desires. A few months later, during the big Ashley Madison leak, Josh’s name came up again. He’d been having multiple marital affairs using the controversial site, at times meeting with women to pay for sex. One of these women accused him of being violently aggressive during their encounter, even shorting her on payment when he was finished.
Despite all of these gross and verified accusations against Josh, his wife, Anna, never left his side. She is currently pregnant with their seventh child.
