This dilemma asks whether a partner's panicked request can override duties to a stranger who is already dead. There is no version of this with a happy ending — the pedestrian's family won't recover them, and accountability for what happened changes only who the legal system goes after. The question is whether shielding your partner from prosecution is something love is allowed to do.
Why people split
One side sees driving away as turning the partner into a fugitive, with a permanent moral residue between you. The other sees the choice as already constrained: the pedestrian is dead, the system will produce some outcome, and your job inside the relationship is to absorb damage with the person you love, not to be a second witness against them.
