I was digging in our garden when I found a chest full of gold coins. I was about to run straight home to tell my wife about it but then I remembered why I was digging in our garden, to bury her body.
Did you just say you murdered your wife?
It happened a long time ago.
Making light of something like murder is pretty dark. Hopefully you did not really harm your wife and this is just a joke!
I don't joke like that.
You should go to the authorities and confess what you did. It will be hard, but it's important to be honest and not leave her family wondering and hurting without closure. You can also get help for whatever urges caused this.
