Breaking Up

I watched an interesting case involving a murderess on the investigative crime series Forensic Files. Before murdering her husband and staging the scene to look like a suicide, the woman in question had engaged in a string of strange and violent acts with other men. One previous boyfriend had broken up with her after an argument. Well, the argument wasn’t as strong a reason to end things as the fact that she had lit him on fire while he lay sleeping in his bed after their tiff.

I gave this a little thought. I’m pretty sure I would also break up with someone if they set me on fire following a squabble. I don’t think that qualifies as “normal behavior,” no matter how abstract a concept that is.
