So you're mentally ill for wanting to kill somebody screwing your wife?


You walk in on your wife in the shower with another man and you're "crazy" for wanting to put an end to it?

Maybe modern society's definitions of "crazy" are crazy. 

But yet another reason I'm not married....

Add to that the fact that it took him the whole movie to realize his wife's not worth his time. Still, it's all about finding the right girl as the movie proved. I'm just saying I wouldn't hesitate to kick a cheater out my door if that happened to me.

You're mentally unstable if you act on it, not for wanting to. A normal person would just want to, but a mentally unstable person would want to and ACT on it without thinking about consequences.

Of course a sane person would want to split up ASAP after witnessing something like that, you know the dude's crazy for wanting to go back to his wife after she did that to him.

You can be mentally stable and ACT on it... like punch the guy.

It's called getting angry and snapping.

It's not like the guy took a bite on your sandwich.. or stepped on your foot accidentally.


The guy was screwing your wife.... perfectly understandable for anyone to snap and get angry and act on it.

If he used a chainsaw and decapitate the guy then thats a different story.
