Love Question 40
Hello everyone! It’s that time again…
This week I have been thinking about back when my husband and I first met online. For the first couple of months there were revelations (nothing all that juicy, I assure you) about him and his life that made me need to sit back and think a bit. They weren’t dramatic things, but they were things that made me shift my perceptions of him.
I got to wondering what it would be like if he had told me he was doing something illegal. Would I have backed away? Would I have not cared? I probably wouldn’t have cared unless he was doing something illegal that was hurting other people.
My thoughts meandered over to, “I probably would have been more flexible when we were first together because we were still getting to know each other. But now we’re married and I take it for granted that there is nothing hugely important that he has failed to tell me.” But it doesn’t always work out to be the way you take things for granted to be…
I’m wondering…
What would you do if you found out your partner/someone you love is/was doing something illegal?

Seeing as how my hubby has a criminal past I’d kick his butt. In my opinion, there would be no reason for him to revert to his previous ways. That said, he has been open that if something should happen and it was not eat or steal to be able to eat, he’d steal. Or some other illegal thing. He knows that if he just decided to start doing criminal activities, I’d leave. He has grown up and doesn’t need to be stupid anymore.

Things certainly change when it’s a matter of protecting and/or feeding your family. If it’s criminal for the sake of being criminal, that’s stupidity. It’s good that you’ve set the ‘I’ll leave if you do something that dumb’ line.
