      Right after you hide the body!

      Remember, friends help you move, good friends help you move bodies!

    I want to know what they did first, then I'll decide if it's a killing offense or not.

    No, UNLESS it is in total and complete self defense, say if he were coming at you to kill you and you happened to somehow get the upper hand on him first..

    but I still believe we should live together in as much harmony and peace as we can...without battering spouses

    no there is no reason to kill your lover

    you should move on because he/She was not the one for you.

    So better to move on rather to do anything silly,

    if He/She will attack you then you should defend yourself.

    If he is coming at me with a gun or he has a knife to my throat there is no way in hell I'm going to sit there and not fight back

      Nor me and if I did him harm while he tried to kill me I would say it was completely justified.

    No if you are not loved by someone you love most it does not mean that kill that persone. it is not necessary that your love should also love you.

    Can killing a lover ever be justified? Hmm, what if he/she is overly obsessed ?

  20. theirishobserver. profile image60
    theirishobserver.posted 14 years ago

    Isabelle22, you say "If I done him harm and he killed me..." I hear what you are saying....Love is.....Love is different in every circumstance, while you may forgive him, would your family forgive him, would the courts forgive him....Love is?

      I think she is saying if her lover was killing her and she was trying to fight back to save herself, if she accidentally killed him in the process, then how can it be wrong. It would be self defense.

    Where violence - physical or emotional - is involved, there's no longer place for love.
    Obsession - yes, but NOT love.

    Black Lilly, I agree that if there is violence there is no longer love smile

    I have both... been told, "I will kill you" and have wanted to do the same to protect myself.  I was not and did not.  LOVER was the word used.  A lover need never consider killing another we are all only human, we make mistakes and there is no reason to kill...a lover as when it gets to that place the person is not longer your lover, I doubt love is involved, move on, you do not nor will you ever own another and or have control over them, move on live and let live.
