Oswald was a prime example of a loser. He had mental instability including suicide attempts and beat up his wife. Nobody would have him. The military didn't want him, the Soviets wouldn't have him, the Cubans wouldn't have him. Hell, his WIFE wouldn't have him, and that was likely the catalyst that sent Oswald over the edge to do what he did.
He made a final attempt to reconcile with Marina the night before the assassination. He had planned to do the deed of killing Kennedy, but he made one last attempt to reconcile with Marina and thus not carry it out. She refused, and the rest is history.
The man had a clear death wish. He left almost all the money he had on the dresser along with his wedding ring. He clearly felt he was never going to see his family again.
Try carrying the guilt Marina has had all these years. If she had only said "yes" none of this would have happened. Yes, she has bought into some conspiracy ideas, but that doesn't mean much. Try carrying the burden around for fifty years that if you had just reconciled with your husband, American history would have changed.
