Disclaimer: I am in a goofy mood and these are just my musings.....

How come when a stranger steals from you there is outrage - everybody wants the law to prosecute them and send them to jail but when your spouse or some person you may know steals from you - the advice is forgive them, walk away, it's only stuff, you can get more.... hmmm does familiarity or association make a difference? does it change the nature of theft or the thief? hmmm... I wonder......

That is an interesting thought. Does familiarity make them entitled because of the shared history? People want to justify the actions of those they know. Makes it easier not to step in and take action on your behalf.
