At time T1, Julia prefers to date me rather than end our relationship and tell my wife.

I think in Xachariah's story Julia did not know prior to seeing you on TV that you have a wife. So there was no time at which she had the preference you describe here.

Ah! Good point, I forgot about that. You're absolutely right... throughout, she presumably prefers to break up with me than date me if I'm married. My error.
