abandoned by her husband:
Marita & Dylan
Medford, OR
2016: Marita and Dylan start dating. He was the rugged, handsome guy who mirrored all of Marita’s desires; children, building a home, a family, a business, etc. He was everything that she ever wanted in a life partner.
2017: Marita and Dylan have a fairytale wedding and the next year, in 2018 Marita and Dylan welcome twins. In 2019, they have a third child together. Marita already has two children from a previous relationship. Marita is the mother of five children all of whom she currently raises on her own.
In rural, Southern, Oregon Maria and Dylan always dreamed of going into business for themselves. They started a small working farm growing various crops, including legal hemp.
They intertwined their finances buying a home, property, expensive farming equipment and pricey sprinter van to transport their large family. They went all in on a home, life and a business together.
Their marriage was picture perfect until Marita noticed that Dylan kept trying to pick a fight. She was perplexed that her usually carefree and easy-going husband seemed to now be an aggressive and easily agitated person. Anything and everything would set him off.
During one of their fights Marita confronted Dylan about sleeping with other women. He became silent and over the course of the next couple of days he moved into a hotel to “cool off.” He never came back home to live. Over the course of several weeks, Marita began to hear and see less and less of Dylan to the point where he vanished altogether.
Retroactively, Marita has learned that he was having an affair with a local woman in town who didn’t realize that Dylan and Marita were still married. Dylan lied to this other woman about being single, and he was carrying on behind Marita’s back while they were married.
Now, Dylan has fled town and Marita doesn’t know where he is or how to get ahold of him. They are still currently married.
Marita isn’t the only person who has been abandoned. Dylan has borrowed a lot of money and made a lot of business deals with people in their small town. Other people want to find Dylan for the money that he owes them.
Marita thinks that Dylan is either in Georgia, New York or Texas.
Marita’s finances are currently tied up with Dylan’s. She’s having to deal with the financial fall out that he has left her with. She can’t even get her van registered properly because Dylan’s name is on the title and the DMV won’t let her register her van under just her name. She is constantly being pulled over because she has an out of date registration and she has to tell the police the long and complicated story.
Marita wants a divorce and she wants closure. She’s given up on the fairytale.
