Contradictory Interpretations

There are many verses in the Torah that have many complementary interpretations. This week's parsha contains some of those, but also contains verses with mutually exclusive, opposing takes.

For example: Why didn't Yehudah recognize Tamar?
Was Tamar veiled in her father-in-law's house? Or was she veiled out in the street?

Did Yehudah continue to live with Tamar as husband and wife? Or did he never know her again?
