What would you do in this situation?

You find out after being with your spouse/partner for twenty years that he/she murdered someone when they were 17 and they were never caught. It was not premeditated.

Do you turn him/her in or do you not say anything and keep the secret?

This is the scenario in a book I’m reading right now

That is a tough one. I do think if you do the crime, you do the time... generally speaking, but there are sometimes extenuating circumstances.

Given that I was with this person for 20 years and presumably loved them, I'd have to know much more before deciding.

For sure I would face them with it and go from there.
