I mean she's non-supportive (turned on him when he needed her most). She's always nasty to him, she was whoring on her current husband...

I mean, granted she was pretty, but he's a multi-millionaire.. he could find girls that look like her with good personalities.

I'm trying to get you to run my kingdom while I eat, drink and whore my way to an early grave.

She originally thought he was a murderer. That's why she left him.

Sure, with all his $$, he could have found anyone..but it would have been just for the $$.

You can see, the more that they saw each other, the more they kind of reconnected. At first she was angry with him for harassing her husband, but she realized why he was doing it.

He clearly has angry feelings about her leaving him, but due to his Zen philosophy, he forgives her, and still loves her.

So that's why. Charlie learned to forgive her, because who wouldn't have done what she did?

That's how I see it, anyway.

Because Crews understood that she'd simply been overwhelmed and tricked at the time (like a LOT of people who knew him had been) by all of the "evidence" from the people who were framing him. She even referred to that at one point in the series when she said, "they had all that evidence".

And the attitude she had towards him after he got out of prison was based more on her own guilt and shame for not having figured it out on her own and realizing his innocence at the time, but given the aforementioned "evidence", he understood how difficult that would have been at the time for her too.

I agree with you. That whole part of the show was the most uninteresting and annoying, to me. I think Charlie wanted "closure" from that relationship, but she was too self-absorbed and opportunistic to understand or empathize with that.
