Plus IIRC, Chucklefuck's wife in 1.0 went behind his back as well, having an affair with someone I can't recall was ever named while Chucky was sleeping with TTL's Marylin Monroe. At the least it makes it somwhat likely that it carries over to 2.0 as well.
PLOT TWIST!
Wyetta "does charities" with Mary Jane Mundy while Chucker-Fucker gets high off drugs!
I think she probably is cheating on Chuck. However, I think she's also going to have a lot of self-loathing about it. Not because of any loyalty to Chuck, but again because of a bunch of her daddy issues/worship. After all, being the daughter of a strict moralist like Steele would definitely make that kinda behavior seem wrong. I really do think that Steele is going to shape her personality and warp her. Even if he's a perfectly doting father, the domineering strength of his personality and the bubble of privilege he made for her would have messed with anyone's head.
Ooh, here's a thought. Maybe she does the very Nixon-esque thing of talking to his portrait. You have to admit, the idea of TTL's Jackie O talking to/yelling at/crying on a portrait of Stalin because she feels terrible and hates her husband is dark comedy gold.

Chapter 0 mentions that she cheats with both genders. In 1.0 wasn't she sleeping with that WAC hero Charlotte Baker?
So bisexual... yeah the environment she's in going to be anything but healthy for her.
So the question is: do the women have to wear fake mustaches and yell at her for being bad?
Considering what this universe is like probably...
Man Steele must be rolling in his grave.
I think Wynetta would be used to the world of skullduggery, I mean look at who her father is! She probably has 'insurance' and 'protection' in case of any accidents. Suddenly I am thinking of the 'Wives' from The Handmaid's Tale. Good devout wives on the outside but probably as cunning as the husbands.

With the difference that, aside from being a proletarian racist fascist occultist theocratic socialist totalitarian dictatorship the Union is also explicitly feminist, so the women are expected to give as good as they get. Imagine young Oswald at a cotillion or whatever swooning when Wyetta straight up kills some poor boy for getting a bit too fresh. Stunned silence followed by dear daddy's hearty laugh.
Right? And suddenly all her suitors are scared to death and she's suddenly free for Chuck to swoop in. It's sadder to imagine that they were genuinely happy in the beginning before bitterness, emotional and physical pain and constant substance abuse poisoned their marriage and turned it into a cruel sham that they both keep up because their social station demands it.
By the way OTL Stalin literally had her daughter's first lover arrested and sent to Siberia to assure she would marry a guy he chose for her.
Honestly i can see something similar happening ITTL, also explaining why she hates Oswald so much.
Also yeah, it would male her veneration of Steele kinda sadder. She is unable to acceot the idea that her father was a monster

Even worse, when his son was captured, he refused to ransom him back. Stalin was an awful parent, and I'm sure Marcus Aurelius Custer-Steele had a shitty life, too. I wonder how he ended up?
Probably dead, considering there are no mentions of him in the chapters about the Pinnacle Future.
I wonder if Marcus tried to pull a Mike Custard and become the President but Oswald had too many friends so he got secretly arrested and executed
She later fell in love with an Indian communist, defected to the united states (the american ambassador at the indian embassy she sought asylum at didn't even know Stalin had a daughter), wrote a quite famous book, and later died in relative obscurity in Wisconsin in 2011. It would be interesting if something similar happened to either Wynetta or any of her children with Oswald
Chuck Jr, retiring "for health reasons" to the new state of Steele (Alaska), while his sister, Our Lady Madame President Elizabeth Arkham Custer-Steele Oswald (all hail) keeps a discrete eye on him. Also I think if the RU annexes the destroyed remains of Columbia it should be renamed the state of Custer.
Listen folks, Steele couldn't have been that much of an evil influence. Sure, he murdered and blackmailed his way to the Presidency, committed war crimes in California, brutally invaded Japan, helped initiate Cleansing Month, purged the Masons, purged and co-opted the Economic Clans, rammed morality laws down everyone's throat at gunpoint, seized total control of the media, planned to start an aggressive war against South America, and when that failed, committed the largest genocide in human history via nuclear weapons so he could break South America to his will, and probably more besides. Sure, he's the kind of man that would view his daughter as an extension of himself and would try and control and display her according to his wishes, all while giving her the same ruthless, Social Darwinist view of the world that he got from Dewey. Still, I'm sure he was sweet in his own way... or something.
(This is sarcastic before anyone jumps on me. Although it's highly possible he was more human with his family and especially his daughter, especially if she was the "favorite.")
