You all are nicer than me about the AP. I have no sympathy for her. I think I'm alone in this sentiment, but that's the honest truth. I would never condone stalking or harassing her (in person or online). I wouldn't call her names or post her info online for others to harass her. Getting involved with a married person is low low low. Cheating is low low low. Any consequences that arise from such actions are on those people who took the actions. Sometimes infidelity only leads to pain (often excruciating pain for partners and kids) but sometimes it leads to worse. This isn't the first murder with cheating involved. I feel that whatever else was going on in the relationship, the affair(s) was/were part of this whole thing. 4 people are dead and one is in jail. If the AP (any AP who knew CW was married) feels guilty, MOO is that she should feel guilty. I am not wishing bad things for her. I just don't feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for her family; they're victims in their own way. I hope she learns a valuable lesson about the consequences of one's actions. I hope she grows as a person. I don't want her to drown herself in guilt, but if she recognizes what lies and betrayal can lead to, she can avoid making the same mistake in the future.
It's not that every affair leads to murder, but HOW MANY murders have cheating involved in the circumstances??
Jeffery MacDonald, Scott Peterson (obviously AF had no knowledge of the wife; many "APs" don't), and Christian Longo are just the tip of the iceberg.
