A common law wife and two children by that common law wife. That's it Winston. One would have to be living on a planet in the multiverse not to think that a man in this circumstance "may" be conflicted. It is irrational to claim otherwise.

The difference between Terri and your wife is that Terri is not dying. Sadly, your wife was. You made sure she was as comfortable as was humanly possible as she died. Terri is not dying. She will not die soon unless she is killed. The state of Florida is proposing to initiate a process that will end her life intentionally.

It is my understanding that, no matter how well she is taken care of, Terry will not get better. If that be true, and assuming Terry is going to stay in the hospital (or nursing home) forever, how would that interfere with the husband's common law relationship? Prevent him from legitimizing the relationship and the kids?

I've asked this a nmuber of times, but haven't received a reply...

Had Terri's attorney moved for a divorce on the grounds of marital infidelity? The 1997 declaration by MS of an angagement to the other woman, moving in with her, and having two children by her seem to clearly indicated marital infidelity!
