I’d say the impact of the fight was catastrophic to one of them. You seemed to overlook that. Don’t sweat the guy that is dead. Just worry about the other person. LOL Really?

I’d never condone a person doing this in front of anyone. I do however think that we all need to think about how our actions can contribute to this type of a situation.

That’s not to say it was all the wife’s fault either. It is a two way street. He’s dead. She isn’t.

No matter what you think you know, you never know the full story between two other people.

I can tell you that not all that infrequently folks don’t even know the full story even in their own household.

Things can be happening. People’s minds can be thinking things you never expected. You may be only days from finding out things you never would have imagined.

I’ve been there twice. You even start doubting things you knew to be true. It’s a twisted world we live in.

Those that don’t go through bad times, are very fortunate indeed.

Yep. I ALWAYS put it on the person that offs themself. Always.

The reason is simple: We are not responsible for how others treat us, necessarily, but we are ALWAYS responsible for how we respond to it, be it suicide, hitting, screaming, biting, withholding sex, making faces, you name it.

And that is very empowering.

I’ve never met anyone that didn’t go through bad times.

Isn't that the truth. Doubt (and regret) has been my constant companion for a long time.
