Your husband cheated on you, so you set him on fire. Oh wait, you didn't mean to kill him, you only meant to permanently mutilate his genitals. Because he cheated on you. Or maybe he didn't, you just think he might have. So that's okay.
Boy, I can't wait for the soundbites of comedians telling me how funny this is.
Three children. A relationship that firmly fucked up has produced three children. Poor kids.
I mean if you have jelous twangs that bad you need to step away from whatever is getting you that jealous and leave it alone. I've been crazy jealous (ie: a teenager) and the only thing to do is get the fuck out of that kind of bad feed. Love should not contain any jealousy. Hear me?
I would also like to note for the record that all I ever did when I was jealous was slap my boyfriend classic Hollywood style. AN he cheated so bad he brought me a VD, so I had both reason to be and proof. Smartest thing to do was walk away and get some perspective.
Dang, dabitch, you just confirmed my suspicions that you are totally awesome and I would have thrown a martini in your ex-boyfriend's face after you slapped him so that it would sting all the more.
Reminds me of the SNL sketch with Will Farrell running for office with the line, "Look - I don't cheat on my wife, because I can't! I lost my genitals in a fire! So, vote for me."
Sometimes I say that to people, like at parties or bars, to see if they get the joke. They usually don't.
If she was abused, I think she'd be offering that up as a defense, wouldn't she? Given that she's on trial for murder? "He beat the shit out of me regularly" would be pretty much the *first* thing I offered up, not "I'm not sure, but I think he was cheating on me, and I'm kind of a jealous wife."
Yeah, I've read over a dozen articles on this and no hint of abuse is alleged. Apparently, though, her evidence of his cheating was she saw him hugging a white woman. I guess she had a gut feeling too.
