What a coward to beat on a woman like that.

Well.. idk if this is the case... but if they cheat..

[@strawberrypuns1677]

@@Mikemfm666Okay yes, cheating is bad. It’s a betrayal but no one deserves to lose their life over cheating. Divorce. Break up. But killing someone is insane over cheating, I understand heartbreak but killing someone? It’s not just hurting the person but their whole family and friends.

[@ayamystic]

I think it’s their fantasy to go after women they hate and find a reason to harm them.

[@1985collado]

It was probably her wanting to marry thinking it would change his beating ways

[@lavenderlillies8149]

​@1985collado or maybe she wanted to leave and he couldn't let her go, and probably promised to change. Maybe even gave her a ring to keep her under his thumb... who knows? So many possibilities. He's an absolute monster after all is said and done

[@cuquee12]

I spent many years complaining about being unmarried and for the past couple of years, I have totally changed my tune. I am very content and very satisfied with being single. I have to say that it is safer to be single, then to be in an unhealthy relationship. It's just simply not worth your life.

[@Blossoming-o6r]

Exactly. People have tried to put me down for being single for so many years. These are people I know for a fact are trapped in unhappy relationships (friends and colleagues). Either they want me to be as unhappy as they are or hoping I tell them I'm miserable so they feel better about being in an unhappy marriage.

[@MelindaT64]

How disgusting.

Bro was super entitled who feels that level of rage to a newly married wife. It was simple don't marry her and keep it pushing. Im his case it was simple immediately leave her in location and get the marriage annuled. Play stuipd games and win stuipd prizes. Prayers to her family.

[@pkp6791]

Wow. Why is this not surprising?? This is tragic and becoming all too common. Too many people dont know how to manage conflict, rejection or complex emotions. They kill for NO reason. People should stay single until they mature and learn how to deal with the complex emotions.
