to think this isn't the woman's fault?

[fuschiagroan]

Daily Mail, I'm afraid

Woman is having an affair with a married man, his wife finds out. During the argument that follows he kills his wife and it's the mistress's fault? How exactly? OK, the affair is partly her fault, and therefore the fact his wife found out. But the fact that the guy then went on to strangle his wife is entirely his own.

Right?

Ofc the death isn't her fault, but she still caused it indirectly (iyswim) so she's feeling guilty.
The fact that the affair was wrong in the first place will only add to her guilt.

I don't think anyone except her is saying that it's her fault, tbh.

yanbu, but if she knew he was married, then she deserves to feel some guilt

it's daily fail. don't give it brainspace.

I suspect it is all crocodile tears to get her 5 minutes in the spotlight, some sympathy and a big check.

And stop with the DM I'm afraid, along with all the DM warning and sorry, it's the DM. You can read what you want.

I'm with pinkbasket on both posts.

YANBU he was the one who is the murderer and I do believe that even if this woman wasn't on the scene his wife would have ended up dead at some point. Poor woman. She sounds like she tried so hard to be a good wife

Don't have much sympathy for someone who goes into a "relationship" with someone knowing full well they are married. When anyone says "stick with me, I'll leave wife/husband/whatever really soon", it's blatantly obvious they wont. If that was the plan why are they still there?

cheque, not check.

If said mistress had a different "angle" she might not have made quite so much profit on her rather tasteless kiss and tell.

She is not responsible for what he did, but that doesn't make her a nice woman either. She slept with someone elses husband, gave no thought to his wife and has now sold her story to a newspaper. Classy!

But I don't get all the 'it's my fault' - he's obviously a psycho, it would have happened sooner or later. It is a completely bizarre kiss and tell.

she is playing the "oh look at me the poor victim card"
it sells........

She's just attention seeking, isn't she?
And getting paid for it. Which must help with all that guilt she has.
Not her fault the woman was murdered.
She should feel guilt that she is now cashing in on such a sad situation.
Pondlife.

Presumably she got paid for selling her story, which is pretty low and IMO she should donate her fee to Womens Aid or similar.

FWIW she is lucky that the psycho didn't turn on her.
