Most definitely I’ve known people who refer to one another as husband and wife, though they’re not legally married .Also - on the wife use-of-phrase/technicality thing - I often see, and have personally lived, romance where a man calls a woman his wife without the decree or ceremony. I expect jailhouse call recordings might come out where they were calling each other wife and husband some time ago. He didn’t kill her and by historical accounts didn’t have a conscience adverse to the idea of doing so. I think they believed they were some fated love, maybe she believed it more than he did, but I think him coming out of the flipped car saying that is illustrative of what most likely defined that relationship. Something to consider.
However, IMO, if he ACTUALLY loved her he would never have allowed her to be put in a position where she ended up in a flipped car to begin with.
His affection for her, demonstrated by him calling her his “wife,” does not equate to the fact that Vicky is in a wrecked car with a self-inflicted gunshot wound that resulted in her suicide.
IMO if he LOVED her he would have prevented her from committing this jailbreak. He could’ve sacrificed his own freedom and just kept up the jailhouse conversation. Or talked her out of it, or refused to bolt from jail.
He’s been around the block. He knew it couldn’t end well.
I think he chose freedom for as long as he could get it, which amounted to 10 days on the run, and a destroyed “wife.” To me that’s selfishness, not love.
IMO
