      I completely forgot that “brief case” was literally meaning a short story/case. My brain kept automatically picturing a Suitcase briefcase because every time he said “Sit back as we go to....” I kept thinking, oh! I have my briefcase ready and imagined us all on a train on our way to wherever Brief Case takes us.

      Very true. Albeit my 25 year marriage ended in that fashion with the ex telling the lover that. But he wasn’t truthful because he didn’t go get the divorce. I had to do it although he wanted it. 😆Go figure. Oh well. Not my problem now 😉

      Yes Anthony, perhaps if people would quit sleeping with someone else's husband or someone else's wife hanging on to that thread that they think to be true. After all the person coming to them is lying to begin with in the relationship, so why would they be truthful now.
      It may sound cruel but the people that are killed by a jilted lover whether their wife or mistress or husband or mistress or mister, c'est la vie! You get one life you want to rot in a grave, because you couldn't control yourself. Such a shame people have zero impulse control.

    She probably felt that he not only took advantage of her with his deceit, but also that she was made to look cheapened from it. She was infuriated and hated him for it. Although pre-meditated, this has overtones of second-degree murder. She should have known right from the beginning that her chances of leaving his wife for her were slim, however.

      As far as I can tell, there is no actual difference between sex, love, and greed in the context of being a motivation for violence/crime/etc. . It all comes back to one core motivation - to procreate. Which I think makes your point even more succinct - despite all of our alleged progress and refinement, we are still just trying to make more of us.

      Unfortunately, behind our cars, computers, cell phones, and glittering cities, we're just primates with bigger brains - essentially hairless chimpanzees. I know religious people don't want to believe that and would much rather think that humans are somehow special - but we have FAR more in common with the animals than we have differences. Those commonalities always and inevitably come down to competition for mates, defending one's territory and property (including spouses which are seen as possessions first and partners - meh, maybe 5th or 6th on the list). Then there's the burning need to pop out puppies (for women) and spread around their DNA (men) - which is why marriages don't work at least half the time. And finally there's the need to be bigger, better, and more powerful than those around you - to be the Alpha of your peer group. This means succumbing to greed and the obsession with money, and while animals don't have an economy per se, humans use the economy to beat down potential rivals (i.e. everyone else except immediate family and close friends). We think it's somehow more "civilized" to condemn entire families to abject poverty, to take away their access to healthcare, and force them to suffer with malnutrition than it is to be barbaric and physically fight one another over a loaf of bread (well, except on Thanksgiving when people fight over the last few turkeys at the store - or Black Friday where people are literally trampled to save a hundred bucks on a flat screen - or to simply murder someone who is standing in the way of you obtaining sex, money, or prestige .... yeah, never mind, we're just as barbaric as any two wolves fighting over a deer carcass.)

    I feel sorry for these women, Clara because he was cheating on her and Laura because he kept stringing her along even after she got married. Why do that to a person when you have no intention of being with them? I do believe after he messed with her head so much she snapped. I am glad that she didn't have to serve prison time due to temporary insanity because she was living her own personal hell with him. He deserved what he got, I am sorry, but that's how I feel.

    I'm disturbed that Mrs. Fair got off for committing murder, simply because the victim was unlikeable. This scenario is much a reflection of today's times. Too many people think the ends justify the means, because some people are unlikeable. It's not true. We all must be responsible for what we do.

    You did point out she was a very good actress, so the whole insanity thing could have been an act. Who knows?

      Unfortunately, love doesn’t work like that. And why is the onus on her? He should’ve told her he was married from the get go. It’s his fault for lying, not hers for believing him. That’s blaming the victim. If he’d been honest with her from the jump and she still chose to be with him, after that, it’s her fault. It’s not her fault for falling in love with a man who completely misrepresented himself. Or for being unable to send him away once she discovered he lied to her. That’s the whole point of lying to her…to get her so emotionally dependent on him that she can’t just leave. It’s textbook manipulation from the Narcissist’s Playbook.
