If Terri had any hand in this by lifestyle choices, then she bears some of the accountability.

She also entered into an agreement with a man, maybe a reprehensible man, but nontheless, she became one with someone. They became advocates and voices for each other. When one voice fell silent, possibly by her own doing, the remaining voice then spoke for her, including her wishes if those were what she wanted. He now for better or worse was her voice.

The moral of this story is many. But two are, if you have a hand in your situation, then you bear some accountability for it. And beware who you are getting in bed with with regard to marriage.

Very interesting point of view.

I've never had it presented to me quite like that.

Your point is very valid indeed, but remember there are legal guidelines for removing advocacy powers from a spouse who has conflicting interests or any reason to be hostile toward his/her spouse.

Regardless of how we may feel about Michael's adultery on a moral level, it is illegal in the state of Florida, and it definitely made him have conflicting interests with Terri.

That issue was ignored by our award winning judge Greer, and it never should have been.

The other moral to this story is that if you happen to end up like Terri and live in Pinnellas county don't expect that Judge George Greer will do the right thing for you and give you a divorce from a cheating adulterous spouse who wants you dead.
