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

Depends. If I had spent 20 years with this person, they would have to be nice at heart. They would have to tolerate all the animals I try to bring home.😆 If at any time they were to hurt my pets, they would be gone. If they were anything but kind and caring to my pets, they would be gone. I would want details, but they would already have the benefit of trust having been developed over time.
Honestly, if I had to kill someone, I might be inclined to keep it to myself. If I had to defend myself, and it led to deadly force, I might just fertilize the garden and avoid the whole process.😅🤷‍♂️
