There are some situations that are so complicated, so utterly morally grey, but ultimately require a strong decision. Nobody wants to be the guy at the lever in the trolley problem, but if you find yourself in that position, your decision means something whether it's one of action or inaction. 

One man recently took to Reddit to share the trolley problem of marriage that he's found himself embroiled in. His ex-wife, who he's been no-contact with since he married his current wife, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Her sister reached out and told him that she's currently in hospice, and needed to talk to him about something in person. His wife is fervently against him seeing her, and he doesn't know what to do. There are so many justifications for why he should go see her, and as many red flags that broadcast what a great mistake this might be.
