It would be EASIER to shoot her. Pulling the trigger would be a very
hard thing to do, because she's my wife. However, it is still easier to
kill her than to have to discuss our problem (yelling, crying,
shouting...it's not easy). >>
I'm sure there's a third option which is easier still.
In thought, it's not tough for a sane person to kill themself; in
practice, it's damn near impossible (I'm not quite confident enough to
say that it's _completely_ impossible, but I almost am). How much money
would a person have to set in front of you before you could chop off one
of your thumbs? That thing in your brain that won't let you do it is
the same thing that prevents you from pulling the trigger.
It's never easy to kill yourself unless you're a total nut. You'll have
a damn hard time convincing me otherwise.
