I have really been struggling with this question. Alison suffered an acute stroke and as her husband I felt obligated to protect her, especially with respect to her business. She did not need all the additional stress for example that a major creditor was going to hand the company over, SARS had issued summons for outstanding financials, the Bank needed to review the overdraft, but there were no updated financials, the house could be lost etc etc. I sought council with a dear friend from church, all the family members got involved in the decisions, and we made decisions to protect, firstly Alison and then the business. At all times I wanted to protect her from too many visitors too much activity, because I love her. Instead I had an arrogant broker telling the Doctor that he will not discuss Alisons affairs with me because he has known her for 16 years. Am I not her husband?
Have I deceived Alison or protected Alison? What have I gained personally from all the decisions that have been made? Nothing! Before God, I always acted honourably.
