It's time to start at the very beginning with Athena [Wife #1]. Her story begins in 2007 when she first met Ben. Even though she was fresh out of a divorce, her life seemed to be on an upswing. That was until one fateful night when she was bitten by a poisonous spider and forced to stay home and recover for a full month. What better way to pass the time than to do a little online dating? Will she see any red flags? Only time will tell.

Please Note: When this podcast launched, we used the faux name 'Ben' for our ex-husband. Since then, we've revealed his real name, 'Brandon Johnson,' to protect other victims.
