Do you think Marie accepted Meursault's existentialist's attitude or eventually ignored it as Meursault finds he recieves less and less of Marie's letters in jail?

Marie accepted Meursault for who he was and what he stood for during part one. You can tell this is how she felt because of her persistance with the question of love and marriage. However, in part two after Meursault killed a man one would assume it was hard for Marie to understand why he would do something like that, even though she accepted his different way of life. That possibly could be why the letters stopped. It just got too hard for her to justify why someone she loved would do something of that nature.
In the beginning of the novel, it was evident that Marie accepted Meursault’s existentialist’s attitude. During chapters 4-6, Marie kept telling that she loved Meursault and asked him if he wanted to marry her. Marie didn’t mind his existentialistic character. She loved him for who he was and not the way he acted. Although barely mentioned in part two, I think that once Marie heard that Meursault was in prison, she started to forget about him which explains the less amount of letters Meursault receives from her in prison.
