A Texas woman has opened up about why she called the police after stumbling across shocking information about her husband on Facebook<\/h2>\n

A Houston woman has spoken out about calling the police on her husband after making a shocking discovery online.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tammie and Marcus Andra Shorten from Houston, Texas, married in 2012 before separating in 2019, however, the pair didn’t get divorced.<\/p>\n

And in December, while scrolling\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, Tammie came to learn she may not know the man she married as well as she first thought.<\/p>\n

Tammie\u00a0told\u00a0<\/a>ABC13 Houston she was Marcus’ third wife and the pair never divorced because Marcus reportedly didn’t want to be considered a ‘failure’.<\/p>\n

“He says, ‘I didn’t want a divorce. I’m getting me some help. I don’t want to get a divorce. I don’t want my family to think I’m a failure’,” she claimed.<\/p>\n

The pair stayed in touch and reportedly kept discussing the option of divorce, but Tammie claims Marcus maintained he didn’t want one.<\/p>\n

However, in December, she stumbled across a wedding registry for Marcus online, alongside photographs of his alleged wedding on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Images of Marcus at what appeared to be his own wedding with a wife who was not Tammie were shared to Facebook by a member of his family.<\/p>\n

Tammie says she contacted Marcus and said: “Before you let the world know what you’re doing, make sure your business is right.”<\/p>\n

The registry confirmed Marcus got married on 27 January earlier this year – the marriage license viewed by ABC13 Houston.<\/p>\n

Upon making the discovery, Tammie contacted\u00a0police<\/a>\u00a0and reported her husband for bigamy.<\/p>\n

She said: “I knew it was wrong. You’ve not only destroyed my life, but now you have destroyed somebody else’s life and all the parties that’s involved in it.<\/p>\n

“You can’t go around lying and misleading individuals at your self satisfaction.”<\/p>\n

According to court records, Marcus has been married at least four times.<\/p>\n

The outlet found divorce decrees for two of the marriages, but Houston Police believes Marcus is currently married to two women.<\/p>\n

Tammie added it’s ‘not like [Marcus didn’t] know what a divorce is because [he’d] been married several times before’.<\/p>\n

Marcus now faces the rare charge of bigamy. If convicted, Texas laws state he could face between two and 10 years in prison and a fine of $10,000\u00a0according to<\/a>\u00a0Legal Match.<\/p>\n

Marcus reportedly told ABC13 Houston he is ‘not married to anyone’ and denies the charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
