      Absolutely agree with you. Children are not tools you use to try to fix your mess. You fix it or decide to end the relationship using commonsense and to be peaceable as possible for your own actions.
      Children have no say who they are born to and when. It is wrong to place such a selfish burden of need on them to fix your own stupidity. Get out of your own way before you ever think of having children.

      i see a lot of stories where partners trying to "fix" their relationship by having kids and to this day i don't understand why would anyone think a child will fix what's happened between two people? like... a child is also a human by themselves. they're not exactly can contribute anything to the issue. if anything a child will only add stressors if the two ppl don't even try to understand the root of the problem in their relationship and address it with each other.
      the children will always be the collateral damage. as an eldest from a broken marriage, this always personally pisses me off. as an adult now i have trust issues bcs of my parents (still working on it my own).

He needed to hold her for quite some time to make her die to due lack of oxygen or apply actual directed and willing pressure on purpose to crush her trachea. There is no devil's advocate here. This is murder with knowledge and a decision in the moment, not a mistake. The fact that he didn't get life in prison shows how the legal system is a joke....If he killed her in a fit of rage then it can be an accident and he can argue in court, but he hid the truth for more than a year and disposed of the body on the hush hush to not attract attention. Committing this then trying to hide it and plant a false trail is called trying to obstruct justice and you don't do that if you're innocent. He needed to stay in jail just for the fact he tried to hide himself and hide the crime after doing it instead of taking responsibility . What innocent man thinks of shit when they hear their house is searched then talks to a gun with the knowledge he will make him get away and avoid punishment in such a nonchalant way about killing their spouse? Any defense of this case is weak and contradicts his actions during the search and at the end of it.

      There is no perfect legal system. As often as "justice" isn't handed out the way we think it should, a large percentage of cases do go well. There are a lot of variables to consider, as each case is different - judge, jury, attorneys, plea deals, evidence, criminal record, etc.
      Personally, I support the idea of life in prison for taking a life. Sometimes the death penalty even seems appropriate. But, it just can't work that way.

      I agree with what you have said here. The only problem with your statement is the use of the word men. Being a man I can tell you these animals are not men. A man is a protector, provider and someone to be confided in, keeping in mind these roles are not traditionally confined. (Example, you don't need to fight people to be a protector)
      I think the use of theses phrases should absolutely be points of interest ( possibly already are now ) but again, these are not men.
      I have felt a lot of negativity from others simply because I have a penis. And other dick swingers are murderous cretins which means apparently I'm also a POS by proxy.
      I feel like in the state of our society I should be able to voice my innocence to the wrongdoings and genocide by fuckers that look like me, I say this with confidence because my father subjected myself and my mother to a decade of physical and mental torture. Ensuring the fact to me that I will never be that.
      I'm sorry for ranting a bit here, I'm not trying to defend these disgusting pigs. But I cannot sit idly by while men are compared to these physcopaths.

I bet his children also experience trust issues when they came to the realization that their father murdered their mother, then lived with him in the house while their mother lay entombed in the basement below them. I imagine those trust issues escalated when they remembered how he held them in his arms while they cried for their mother, telling them he didn't know where Mommy was, that she just left all of them.

    This one hits close to home. I knew Allan very well, him and I worked at a restaurant together for close to 5 years and only parted ways after I moved, this story would have picked up 2-3 years after I was friends with him. While he was extremely quiet and introverted he always joined a social situation (after work beers, bar night birthday celebrations) and always came off as strange but more like he was putting on, like he was trying to come off as this ‘strange guy’ while just being normally friendly. Interactions with him were sort of strange but not unpleasant.
    Him and I frequented a bar down the street (Shout out to JR’s in the NE, now looks like it’s a magic shop) and did so on a regular basis. He dated a friend of mine who is the one who told us about this when the story broke.
    While he could get angry and upset, no more than the rest of us, if he had bipolar disorder when we worked together (roughly 2006-2010) it wouldn’t have been noticeable, working in the kitchen they all had the same temperament. While I wouldn’t call him stupid or dimwitted, he worked best on a routine, high pressure curve balls were not his forte. While it’s true he was naturally a negative person, not so much that he was unbearable to be around.
    It sucks that this is where his life went and the damage that will remain in those lives that he caused, because this isn’t the guy I knew.
    After a large restaurant push would clear, him and I would go for a double smoke break, consecutively smoking 2 cigarettes and talk about each other’s night. We would then stay after close for a beer or go down the street for a pint, we would do this 3-4 times a week for close to 3 years until my departure, then fell out of touch.
    I didn’t realize he was out of jail until I watched this video which is nuts.
    Anyways, some insight to the man in the video, he was strange, just not the kind of guy you would expect to literally be hiding a body in his basement.

So in my opinion they were gambling unnecessarily because once the house was searched, the evidence was obvious and copious.

Also in America our legal system has a sentencing guideline for any violent offense where the convict has to serve 85% of any conviction. The only place in America that hands out sentences less than 25yrs or life for murder is Chicago and thats because the state of Illinois is run by slimeballs from top to bottom that purposefully hand out lighter sentences for a specific demographic in our country! Overall, our legal system is just about the best in the world when it comes to serving justice... its just that for the most part, certain members that make up 13% of our population are allowed to do as they please up until they take someones life! Im also not basing my opinion off of this one case mind you, i watch a ton of true crime videos and have seen Canada and England screw the pooch over a hundred times when it comes to sentencing for the most heinous crimes!

    I really like how you spend time speaking about the victim and the person that they were. It sounds like you have spoken with people who knew them, and loved them the most. I think that’s really really nice to do because true crime is something that a lot of people are into and we sometimes get away from the fact that someone died. Someone lost a daughter or sister or a brother or an uncle or a best friend. And sometimes I feel kind of bad that I’m watching the story of how that happened for entertainment. So I do appreciate and enjoy the personal information about the victim you provide to honour their life.

He tells these stories with class, and when he throws in the odd phrase such as, "that would sure f*ck me up", it hits me funny bone.

      Some have started unofficially keeping tabs on these kinds of purchases, I don't know how they decided to come up with the system but it seems to be largely employee-led.
      I was purchasing supplies to clean out and finish up a REALLY dumpy basement: gloves, contractor bags, a shovel (for lifting/moving the heaviest crumbly bits of wall gathered in the corners), cleaning supplies, sand and gravel, and a large amount of clothing line style rope. (For making hanging planters! I was just trying to plan ahead for the plants!)
      The cashier told me there was something wrong with how they rung it up and they needed a manager to come approve the removal/re-adding of the cleaners. Within 5 minutes, there were 4 other employees standing at enough of a distance to not be crowding me, but any could have grabbed me if I ran. When the manager came up, they wanted to see my ID and, if possible, to pay with a card; I had been trying to pay with cash, it just seemed easier, I didn't think about how it looked.
      The whole time I was soft held in transaction limbo, the shift manager explained that this was they did if someone bought more than 3 "TV crime items," whether or not cash was being used. They didn't call the police, I was able to buy my "finish the basement" supplies, but they'd made sure I was on store cameras from multiple angles for even longer. They got 5 extra witnesses seeing me buy my lot, including the 2 who saw my ID and would be able to take down my name. They had gotten me to pay with a card, instead of the cash, so there was now a card number attached to the purchase date, that would line up with security cam timestamps.
      If I'd been buying those things for a sketchy reason, I have no doubt that hardware store would have turned over EVERYTHING by the time the police showed up. But bc it's unofficial and they can't do anything but try to socially weird people into not acting creepy, or collect advance data in case they do, it's hard to say it's "doing something" more than just.... Doing nothing. But I wish that was the norm. I do. I feel like 10 minutes of judgmental eyeballs every time this happens would really change how confident people feel going in, saying "I'm fixing a toilet" at checkout, and successfully buying a damn death kit.

Not to mention telling those poor wee ones ‘mum’s skived off and not coming back’. My heart hurts for all but him. Brilliant detective work, positively brilliant!
