Betty didn't "go insane" or "lose it" due to betrayal. She was obviously a severe narcissist LONG before the affair. She now talks about all the abuse, being raped on her wedding night, and yet she didn't leave. Talk about no self-respect (and no female role-model). She loved being a rich, suburban socialite and when Dan fucked up and cheated, her perfect image of herself was shattered. The selfish bitch sought revenge, fucked her kids over, and 20 yrs later still thinks the world owes her.

murder isn't the answer just get out if things get bad

Indeed, the wife is guilty to have killed the couple, but it all started with the husband's betrayal. It is not fair to the wife, she sacrificed her whole life for her family. Taking everything away from her is the cause of her craziness. Both of them are guilty!

What I don't understand is why the husband parks in the street in front of his own house?

What a nag. No wonder he left.

[Lisajo1960]

I don't condone what he did, but at the same time, I'm not sitting on death row for ANY MAN.
