In the book True Colors by Kristin Hannah Vivi Ann's husband Dallas was convicted of rape and murder. He was sentenced to life in prision. After 5 years in prison they stopped seeing each other and filed for diviorce. If your husband/wife was conviced of murder would you still visit them? Or would you move on with your life?

I hope that I don't have this senerio, because it would be difficult. If my Wife was convicted of murder, the hardest thing would be realizing the women you loved was not everything she seemed to be. I would still visit her, and ask her what led to such a poor choice. If she continued in madness, eventually threatening me, I would probably not take any more visits. If she was truly sorry, and knew she made a terrible mistake, I could forgive her and visit her.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very delicate and difficult thing to handle. You have to try and realize why she did what she did and how it could have come to this. It's sad to think this could happen to anyone, but it does and it would probably severe your relationship dearly. I would continue to visit it here, it's just hard to get over someone doing that.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that I could still visit them, I think it would be hard for me because it means that he wasn't thinking about his family at all. When you make a big decision like murdering someoene, or raping someone, you aren't just making the choice for yourself, you are making it for your family too. I would have a hard time trusting him and trying to figure out why he did what he did. I would try to move on with my life and forget about the mistake that he made.
ReplyDeleteThis is a situation that I really hope that I will never have to go through. I honestly don't know what I would do. I guess it would depend on the situation. If it was to protect the family then I think I would visit her but if it was just in anger then I probably wouldn't be able to forgive her. I don't see myself even associating with someone that would go through with an action like this but if they did then i would try to move on with my life.
ReplyDeleteIf i was to ever be in this situation I think that i would not be able to visit my wife in Prision. If my wife was sentenced to life in prision i think i would just move on with my life bacause i would want a family and a wife. But if she was only sentenced for a certian number of years i think i would visit her and wait for her to get out. I think it would be very hard to see your wife in jail behind bars.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that if this situation ever happened to me i would move on right away. I would have to move on eventually because you could never have a good relationship with someone in jail. I really don't think that the circumstances of the murder would matter that much i just couldn't deal with having a marriage with someone in jail.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I want to say I would go visit them I dont know if I would. It would be incredibly hard to stay in a marriage with someone that you know killed someone and that you could never be with. So there would be a point where I think I would make myself say goodbye and move on.
ReplyDeleteI hope I don't have this happen to me in my life, it would be very difficult. You trusted your wife for many years and then they just go and kill someone, it would be hard but I think I would talk it out with my wife and might keep seeing her. If she kept being crazy and started threating other people, I think I would then proububaly leave and file for a divorce.
ReplyDeleteI would definatly file for devorce and move on. Even if the charges were to be dropped I would still do it just because I could never trust him ever again. Ya it may seem harsh but there would always be a doubt about wheather or not he actually did it. Plus rape? man I would be horiffied and furius all at the same time! And trust me you do not want to see me angry.
ReplyDeleteI would probably lose it actually. I would stay and visit but not having my wife around would kill me in the end but I believe marriage is a lasting thing.
ReplyDeleteIf my spouse were ever to commit a heinous crime like rape or murder it would ruin any moral picture of them I had. I would probably have to get them out of my life before I did something stupid like they did.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very difficult thing to handle. You have to try and realize why she did what she did and how it could have come to this. It's sad to think this can and does happen, but it does and it would probably ruin your relationship. I would continue to visit it them, but i could not continue to be in a relationship with them.
ReplyDeleteI would probably visit them for awhile until the fact of what they did sunk in and then I would probably stop. I don't think I would be able to look at them the same way and I would just want to stay out of the situation. I would most likely move out of state and maybe even change my name if I feared that they would come after me.
ReplyDeleteIf my spouse was in jail it would be one of the hardest things to deal with especially if we had kids. I think if my wife was wrongly convicted of murder I would do everything possible to prove them innocent and bring them back into my daily life. But if they were guilty I would never want to see them again or have my kids around someone who could do something like that.
