    Strictly hypothetically speaking, if you found out that someone you love is a murderer and killed somebody out of rage (meaning it was no accident) could you still love that person?

    What if you were romantically linked to that person? It's not illegal to marry or be married to someone who is a criminal.

    Depends on the specific incident, person, and whether they were in prison or not.

    Nobody asks this question hypothetically.

    Don't worry. Your wife still loves you. That b*stard deserved it.

    Depends on why he murdered him. But I think the answer would be no, I'm too little emotional for this.

    You're a girl?

    Sure, if they're sufficiently repentant.

    The "he" was for murderer, I'm no girl. Should've changed the "him" to "person" though.

    I could see how it could hinder some relationships, but could I "ever" love a murderer? Sure, it's possible. I don't love people because they're saints.

    Murderer implies not self-defense etc.

    I could "love" a repentant murderer...but I couldn't be in love with someone who killed another human being in a fit of rage. Our values systems would be too different.
