GPFan Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 I believe that when I wish bad for others, it comes back to me. So, I am not one to wish any kind of harm to anyone. I'm just giving my opinion on the subject of this thread.In these scenarios, is it simply wishing harm on others as much as it is wanting to something -- anything -- to stop the onslaught of unrelenting pain? This is the sense I get.
Tomcat33 Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 And I sometimes wonder if I'M a freak as a result of all of this...because I can sit down so easily and contemplate something like this and not lose one bit of sleep over it. Well this is the eptiome of our "online rivalry" We are even on the opposite side of the spectrum when we are thinking we are freaks, you for thinking you are a freak for thinking to kill someone that did you harm me for thinking I am a freak for not thinking I could kill someone that did me harm. :laugh: My comment was in response to someone who said they thought about it. So, I said that thinking about something and actually doing it are different. I never said that thinking about killing someone was a healthy thought either. Please try to keep things in context. HN I quoted your comment but not to imply you said it was normal to think that. I was just saying that I questioned whether I was abnormal for never wishing someone would die since apparently thinking it seems ok but acting on it is not.
OpenBook Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 Here is an intersting spin to this situation, if someone can justify being pushed to the edge in terms of commiting a crime of passion, can we also not accept that some people who cheat are also pushed to the limit emotionally and hence act out with infidelity? Oh no, we cannot. Because that would imply that the BS was part of the problem, involved in/causing the cheating to occur. And as we have all been reminded ad nauseum, the BS is completely blameless for their CS's infidelity.

And as we have all been reminded ad nauseum, the BS is completely blameless for their CS's infidelity.This is correct unless the BS specifically pushed or taunted their spouse to cheat. If a marriage is awful, the solution is to divorce. Not easy but it is the logical conclusion unless the cheating spouse has another agenda up their sleeve.
