Okay, let's talk about Candy Montgomery. You know, the axe-wielding housewife from Wylie, Texas?
The Affair Everyone Knows
She famously had an affair with Allan Gore. It's, like, the whole reason we're all here, right? The movies and shows make it pretty clear.
But...was that *really* the only one? Let's put on our detective hats.
Suspicious Minds (and Small Towns)
Small towns are gossip central. Everyone knows everyone's business. Or at least, they *think* they do.
So, the idea that Candy, feeling unfulfilled and restless, only hooked up with Allan... feels a bit... simplistic.
The "Bored Housewife" Trope
We've all seen it in movies. The bored housewife, stifled by routine.
She's craving excitement, attention. One affair might just be the gateway drug, if you catch my drift. Let's admit, it's a fairly common trope.
A Dash of Charisma
From what we've seen depicted, Candy was charming. Maybe even magnetic.
She wasn't exactly hiding under a bushel. Surely, she attracted some attention.
And maybe, just maybe, some of that attention went further than polite conversation.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)
Here it is. Ready?
I think Candy Montgomery probably had more than one affair. There, I said it!
The "One That Got Away"
Maybe there was someone before Allan. A practice run, so to speak.
Or maybe someone after. You know, the rebound or a secret fling that never came to light.
Why It Makes Sense
Consider the time period. The pressure on women to be perfect wives and mothers. The lack of outlets for frustration.
An affair could have felt like a rebellious act, a way to reclaim some control. Especially, for someone as charismatic as Candy seemed to be.
The Evidence (Or Lack Thereof)
Okay, I admit. I have zero actual proof. This is pure speculation.
But isn't that part of the fun? We're just playing armchair detective here!
Let's Be Real
Isn't it more interesting to imagine a complex Candy Montgomery? A woman who wasn't simply defined by one extramarital affair.
A woman who maybe, just maybe, lived a little more dangerously than we give her credit for.
"The truth is out there... probably hiding in some dusty Texas diary."
Food for Thought
So, next time you're watching a show or reading about Candy Montgomery, remember this.
Consider the possibility that Allan Gore wasn't the only one who fell under her spell. I mean, come on!
