Do the traditional wedding vows "for better, for worse" imply that all parties remain even in...

Really hard to comment on the ins and outs of someone else's relationship. Maybe it was the last straw for her, who knows?

The speed with which she bailed made me think she had been waiting for the opportunity for a good long time. I don't know this, but Chauvin's public behavior where people can see brings into question his private behavior where nobody can see.

I don't believe anyone is obligated to stay in a situation that's toxic, dangerous, or unhappy for them. Marriage doesn't need to be a life sentence and we don't know how bad their marriage was before that. I suspect if she felt he was a good guy she would have stood by him

Why should her life go to hell because of him? I’d divorce his ass also. Who wants to live a life visiting a prison once a week and call that love?

No one on the outside ever truly knows what’s happening inside a marriage. Chauvin’s wife may’ve had several reasons for divorcing him beyond his legal troubles. In fact, his violence may not have been limited to his work life.

Maybe she wants to get on with her life. Marriage can't be a marriage if one partner is locked up for years.

I don't think better or worse was originally intended for convicts in prison.
It's the day to day ups and downs we go thru, not felonious behavior.

{@anonymouslyyours ] the marriage vows have been followed loosely for a long times now . if you follow the vows to the letter no matter your own personal thoughts over his guilt he was still her husband and therefore stand by him

Good reason why many people see marriage as a personal prison regardless of the "love", which, btw was a very recent overlay to all that combining and coalescing stuff that represents the true purpose of marriage...

we have no way of looking into their past. She may have been his victim, maybe she believes in his guilt etc.

Guess she isn't interested in "Conjugal Visits" for the next 10-15 years 🥴

I don’t blame her one bit for doing it. We don’t know what their marriage was like and this happening was the very last straw.

Do the traditional wedding vows "for better, for worse" imply that all parties remain even in the event one must endure a stint of imprisonment?
