Wife divides internet with outrage at husband wanting to attend funeral of prison friend


One man asked Reddit users if he was in the wrong after a disagreement with his wife over attending the funeral of a fellow inmate who “essentially saved [his] life”. The unnamed man said: “I spent six years in prison and I have been out eight. When I was in prison, I met a man, Scott, who had already been in there for 15 years.

“He was very much respected by most of the prison and almost everybody left him alone.

“For some reason, he took a liking to me and helped me navigate the prison scene and gave me some really good advice on how to stay out of trouble. He essentially became the father that I never really had.”

The man says that he wouldn’t have made it out of prison alive if it wasn’t for Scott’s advice and guidance.

He says that when he was released he “got his s*** together”, and now has a wife and a four-year-old son.

Reddit users mostly came out in support of the man’s choice to go to Scott’s funeral.

One user said: “Her logic doesn’t even make sense – ‘don’t go pay respects to your former business partner, you have a better job now’ or ‘don’t go to your mother’s funeral, you have your own family now’.”

Another agreed: “You are just paying your respects to someone who meant a lot to you. It’s not like you’re going to, I don’t know, hang out with people who always get you in trouble or have a bad influence on you. You are just going to a funeral.”

A third echoed: “You wouldn’t even have the family you have now if it weren’t for him I bet. He would have done the same for you I’m sure. Power to you for turning your life around.”
