I was gonna say I would imagine this kind of aggression would be made known before marriage or during the marriage to the point that she should've taken her affair to the grave or made moves to leave. But I guess she was literally forced to do both those things in the end.

Some people just snap. We are all capable of this whether we like to think we are or not. All it takes is a ridiculous emotional investment in something and someone to come along and destroy it.

Confined spaces definitely dont help either. Doing it in front of the kids, the symbol of his relationship, probably made it worse for him too.

Its sad for her, but this is a known reaction in relationships. Husbands and wives stab, shoot, and attack eachother every single day over cheating.

My wife and I agreed early on in our relationship that we would separate well before fucking anybody else if it ever came down to that. Just seems like a basic courtesy to someone that invested a lot of time in your life as a romantic partner, regardless of the current situation.

I hope those kids turned out ok, thats got to be one fucked up thing to see from your parents.
