There’s two extremes and the gradient between as I see it. One end of the scale follows their own code primarily and only respects laws they disagree with out of fear of social contract violations and the punishments. The other group follows and enforces all law without much critical thought about who is writing them and why. Unjust or not they don’t seem to care. Then your middle grounders.
Partners and I have always been pretty strongly on the “our own code is primary” side. Probably because I wouldn’t find someone with the other mindset attractive.
So, it really depends on what they did exactly. If I agree with them, I’m not saying shit. Although if I’m upset or not depends if we talked about it or not. If I’m just getting surprised by this, the sneaky secrecy behind my back would risk the relationship more than anything likely.
Tax fraud I wouldn’t be okay with, so if they went and did it anyways or didn’t talk to me about it beforehand that’s game over.
