no, i don't necessarily agree, I don't think I could choose my husband over my own flesh and blood...I may sound cruel saying that, but marriages end all the time, but you can't pick your blood relations.  |

I think in the 50's there was a general idea marriage was for life. This could have influenced his actions. Og |

Tough call....I honestly don't think I could handle being responsible for the prosecution of either of them. Now...if we're talking about turning my dad in...  |

I do not agree. I agree with DreamerPoet though that flesh and blood do come first. Peace,   |

Actually, I just see it as being faithful to whatever the truth is. If it is an issue of an illegal action I would not choose who I would "protect"....that is to say I would not take sides....I would simply be truthful and let the consequences fall as they may. I believe in honesty and accountability.  |

BTW....that doesn't mean it wouldn't be painful...but taking on the responsibility of forcing a choice and siding against an innocent is more painful to me...no matter who they are. |

This may be due to his religious beliefs. I'm not sure what they were but the Bible does say that once you marry, you put no other human before them. Maybe this is where he was going with his decision?  |

I seriously doubt I would protect my husband over my sister. Well, maybe over ONE of my sisters..hehe..Just kidding...  |

Choosing between the two seems impossible. The only extra pull my hubby has over my 3 sisters, is that my son would lose a father. |

I would hate to be in this position to have to chose one over the other, I'd stick by one of my sisters, but not the other one over my hubby, awful though it may sound an interesting post...hugs Zema  |

It depends on the relationship. For example, my mother would defend YOU, Og, before she would defend her sister. However, if both parties are guilty, I would not choose one over the other. It has little to do with family ties, to a wife or a sibling, and everything to do with justice for the victims of the crimes committed. I'm totally for the responsibility of one's own actions and hard as it is, I have to let the Tetris blocks fall where they may. My family and friends are not above the law and I like to think that they know better. If they stray from decency then there are consequences to pay...  |

since my sis lives with my hubby and I, I find this question more than difficult...I often times find myself playing mediator because I love them oth so much...I think i would choose to have myself prosecuted rather than sacrifice either of them~SpaceCase  |

I dont know who I would protect..This is something that I have been dealing with for a while now with my husband..He has been stuck between a rock and a hard place with his family and with me...and has not made any kind of choice..I would also never ask him to..but they have and they continue to ask..  |
