The choices you make, for whatever reason though, are your own. One might help to influence them, but him deciding to make and sell drugs is ultimately his own choice, regardless of his situation. So no, his wife didn't drive him to be involved in illegal drugs by being a loved one, he did that to himself.
If she finds out, I'm sure she won't be happy.

Then again, it's a show. Drama is key.

I'd say both but for the most part stronger.


It takes a lot of strength to let yourself be vulnerable.

Not really talking about the guy mentioned in the article but a good example to me would be

If a guy really loved his wife of ten years and found out that she was cheating on him. Then the same guy decided to forgive his wife and do his best to make their relationship work regardless of how hurt or devastated he was. That takes a lot of strength of character.

To me even though having someone you cherish that much could leave you in a position to have great trauma inflicted on you it also puts you in a position where you can really test your resolve and morals and grow as a person.

Amen to that, RnR.
