I didn't put the entire story on here but she came over to our place with her husband to inspect the damage when I did think about not going through insurance for the minute I felt sorry for her. The husband was acting all weird, hence my decision to go through insurance because I figured they would try to pull something. .. which they did. I hope it was worth it on their part. I have to say though, sometimes it's <em>really</em> hard to be the better person :) @ cousin – I think I would have in the beginning :) (But for the record, wouldn’t now)

It's truly difficult when her personal morality and religious expectations did not match. I'm thinking one of two things happened: 1) She went home to her husband, who threw a fit, and asked that she lie to the insurance; 2) She personally freaked out, didn't think she could take the hike, and lied. Either way, there's nothing honorable about it, really nothing excusing her behavior. If it makes you feel any better, J had something similar happen to him, where a woman tried to get him to pay cash out of pocket ($1000) instead of going through insurance. He went through insurance, and guess what? Damage was under $700, and they didn't hike his rates. Hmmm....Also, just think what this woman will face in terms of GUILT. Years down the line, she'll have racing thoughts and night sweats over the duress and pain she put you through, and she'll be wishing that she had acted otherwise. Yup. You are the better person for not leaking her info. I think you did what we all are inclined to do at times–you held this woman to a standard, and she failed to deliver.
