If Your Spouse Was A Murderer...

[zfactor]

Why do these ridiculous hypothetical situations never care about adding context?

-If my spouse had killed one person through an error of judgement and greatly regretted it, no I wouldn't turn them in.

-If my spouse had knifed fifty children to death, yes I would turn them in.

This, except in the event of children-knifing, I would try to help them first. I also would not turn them in if the person in question deserved it and the world is better off without them.

Firstly this wouldn't suprise me AT ALL the universe treats my love life as a [sarcasm]hilarious cavalcade of comedy[/sarcasm] as it is -.-

I think I would turn them in as I'm a good girl and these things tend to escalate. However, I am a bit of a sucker for people I love so who knows maybe I would cave and help them hide it.

What they said, with something like murder context is kind of important, killing someone in self defence, and killing someone just for kicks are two very different things.

There is a difference between killing and murdering. Legally, at least.

I wouldn't turn my wife in. Hell, I probably wouldn't turn anyone in. I have this weird stigma about snitching. I blame rap.

No but I would use it to get anal.

That made me lol.

OT: Nope. I couldn't betray trust like that, and if they asked if I knew, I'd suddenly forget how to speak. Or maybe just tell them no. XD

 

[Simskiller]

If I found out they were a murderer I would ask if that's what we were eating tonight and leave it at that.

 

[8bitlove2a03]

If they did it because they're a cold heartless sociopath, then I'd turn them in. Otherwise I'd try helping them first, THEN if there's no helping them I'd turn them in.

So, you would help me bury the bodies? That's so kind of you, but after we are done I will have to kneecap you and leave in the very deep grave I dug over there while you thought I was taking a break. Sorry, but you're a witness. I have to cover my trail. You understand.

In all seriousness, though, upon hearing the news, I tell my wife that we are going for a nice drive through the Arizona desert. I stop in the middle of The Devil's Highway, tell her to get out, pull out a .308, and tell her to walk. Then, when she is more than four-hundred yards out, one shot straight for the femoral artery. Then, I go home to enjoy a nice evening of watching football and cleaning my guns.

Depends, if she did it because she's a sociopath, yes. Although I would do so anonymously, or she'd kill me after she gets out of prison.
If she cunningly killed some unlikable asshole, my love for her would skyrocket, because she'd be a fucking badass. (Letterlijk een moordwijf!)

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

It wouldn't surprise me. She tried to stab her own sister once and has an incredibly bad temper.

That said I wouldn't and couldn't turn her in. Love makes you do strange things; including aiding and harbouring a murderer. The murder would most likely be a once off, spurr of the moment thing, a lapse of her normally benevolent character. If she was a serial killer, that might be different.

 

[Furioso]

Ha, that would never happen to me, oh hey honey whats up with that kniffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

 

[mr.mystery]

No but I would use it to get anal.

hahaha thats such an AWESOME idea... totally agree

You know that thing in films where the murderer picks up the lonely hitchhiker girl with plans to kill her and she turns out to be a psychotic monster.

Hi there.

Moral of the story: Don't underestimate people you know nothing about.

 

[Ham_authority95]

If your spouse (husband or wife), whom you love dearly, was a murderer, would you turn them into the Police?

And if you aren't married, just be hypothetical.

Well, most people who kill aren't very good relationship material, so I'd certainly break up with her and tell the police if inquired.

I wouldn't want to end up dead just because I liked a girl too much. I'm not that stupid...

 

[Averant]

-If my spouse had knifed fifty children to death, yes I would turn them in.

If my spouse did that, I'd be highly impressed that they'd gotten away with it, and ask them to come with me next time I go kill somebody.

What? I'd be a murderer too, that's all.

 

[Farseer Lolotea]

That's...literally a difficult concept for me. I'm not sure my fiancé could kill even in self-defense.

 

[Giest4life]

No but I would use it to get anal.

You know blackmail didn't even enter my mind but now you mention it that's an amazing idea.

Are you guys/gals forgetting that your spouse is a MURDERER? I don't think blackmailing a murderer the smartest thing to do. I cannot empirically prove that, however.

 

[Jodah]

Depends, did the jerk that she killed deserve it (though not in terms of the law, IE self defense) or did she just decide to knife some little old lady and her little dog?

If the former then no. If the latter I would certainly consider it. Either way I wouldn't help them cover it up unless I was already involved.
