Nobody ever said marriage was easy, but the general consensus among most married couples is that in order for it to go the distance, you have to be able to be able to work through your problems. Well apparently, one wife decided to take the phrase "till death do us part" a bit too seriously.

A video is now quickly going viral online that depicts a woman getting into the passenger seat of a car and discussing the possibility of hiring a hit man to kill her husband. The woman is Keyport, N.J. native Julia Merfeld, who has recently pled guilty to charges of soliciting a murder.

In the video, Merfeld, 21, notes that she has grown tired of the marriage and no longer wishes to be involved with her husband. Rather than simply divorce him, however, she decided it would be easier to just kill him instead.

"As terrible as it sounds, it's easier than divorcing him, you know, I didn't have to worry about the judgment of my family, I didn't have to worry about breaking his heart," she said, at least having enough of a heart to add: "It's going to break my heart when it happens, but it's something that I've been thinking about for awhile."

The hit was not going to be cheap either. The hitman, who was actually an undercover police officer, was requesting $50,000 as payment for his services. Merfeld intended on paying him with the life insurance money she was set to collect should her husband die, a policy that was worth about $400,000.

What is perhaps most disturbing about the video is that throughout most of it Merfeld appears to be downright chipper about the prospect of killing her husband. On numerous occasions she can be seen giggling and appears to not be affected by the gravity of the situation at all.

"It's a little depressing, hearing her talk like that. She took it so lightly," said her brother, Nicholas Antosaccio. "She was it was all right. She said it was good. She wasn't unhappy, didn't seem it."

Merfeld now faces a minimum of six years in prison, and will have her sentencing hearing Jul. 30. In an unexpected turn of events, her husband has already asked the court that she not receive jail time, though that decision is not up to him.
