If your significant other were to be wrongfully imprisoned for an absolutely horrible crime, do you feel that you would be able to stay with them, or would you have to file for divorce? They will be out in 10 years.
This is happening in my family and I'd REALLY appreciate some other people's insight. Feel free to leave anonymous comments if that would be easier.

If I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that my husband was innocent - YUP. I'd be there waiting. That's when he'd need me the most.
(I can't believe this person is your fam. is actually getting going to prison. Seriously? 10 years????)
Yes, 10 years. And I believe his wife is about to file for divorce.
No doubt about it. Stay with them. Marriage vows aren't "for better or for better." It's for better or for worse, and that would be for worse. You can't choose what happens to you, but you can choose how you handle it.
But then again, you DON'T know how you'd react in that situation unless you were in it!
REALLY? I'm surprised that she's considering divorce.
Wow.
It would depend on what the crime was? Think about how different a person you are now than you were 10 years ago, and how different a person he will be in 10 years, especially when they won't be growing together. When your spouse goes to prison, I would imagine that it would be like you going as well, and I don't think it's fair to ask them to sit by and wait, basically, 1/7th of their life for me. On a better note, thanks for the post on my Blog, you were the 1st, minus een...small victories.
I take my vows seriously. PERIOD.
I agree, without a doubt yes I would stay with him. It isn't going to be easy for either people involved, but that is part of making a marriage work...being there for each other.
sad.
I agree with two pretzels. . . . .
Your comments give me some faith in humanity.
Hurley I appreciate your honesty just as much.
