He’s a champion pro cyclist, which means he has to practice at a level in which 99.5% of us couldn’t “keep up.” I totally get not wanting to ride with your S/O who can’t match his speed. Of course, the problem with this is that between a day job and many hours of training per day, he’s probably spending very little time with the girlfriend.

He was just a guy who shouldn’t have been in a relationship with someone who wasn’t as equally independent as him.

I used to see stuff like this and view it with detachment, like "oh that person must just be a bad person, I can't relate, why are people so terrible." But I went through something in the last few years (not a cheating partner, thankfully, something totally different) and experienced what I can only describe as social humiliation. It was crushing and really messed me up. I feel like I'd been deprived of my humanity, unfairly. I got very paranoid for a time and felt like everyone I knew was laughing at me and pitying me behind my back. I wound up quitting my job for a time, doing intensive therapy, and making several other big changes, and eventually got through it. It was the hardest thing I've ever done.

But now I understand how this stuff happens. I didn't kill anyone when this happened to me and I really don't think I would (I'm a pacifist and abhor guns), but now I get how it happens. When you feel humiliated in this way, it feels like there is nothing left to lose. If you are convinced that everyone hates you anyway, especially if it feels like they hate you for things that are not your fault and out of your control, it's like, well what's left? It's like your connection to society is severed. It's terrifying.

I think PPs are right that her anger stemmed from feeling like she was losing her plan for her future, and feeling this woman stole it from her. But I think the thing that made her willing to kill this woman, instead of just yelling at her spreading nasty rumors or something, was the sense of humiliation. It was being lied to and then finding out, feeling like everyone was in on a joke that she was the butt of. Or at least that's what I think. When I was going through this, I had violent thoughts I can't believe I had. Thoughts that scared me.

I've since vowed that if anyone I know ever goes through there, to show up and let them know they are loved and valued, that I'm not laughing at them. To remind them they are still human and they are still connected to someone. I wish this woman had had something like that.

Gently, you should seek therapy.

Gently, you should seek baseline reading comprehension skills.

As someone that’s known him, lived with him and been associated with him for nearly 8 years. This isn’t surprising. Anyone in the Austin cycling scene will tell you his game, find the most unstable attractive girl he can find and play games with her till it explodes into drama, it’s his dating cycle. It’s ended in theft of property, restraining orders, all kinds of wild shit.
At what point is a person responsible for pushing another to the point of insanity? Did he pull the trigger? No… and she deserves everything she gets for that murder. but I will always consider him at fault for pulling Mo into his trash fire of a dating life.
She deserved better than this.

Wow - why would you deliberately seek out someone mentally unstable as a lover and then seek to destabilize them even more?

How about “don’t marry a man who cheats”?!! If you’re going to shoot anyone, shoot your cheating husband!! The other woman never made vows of fidelity to you.

OMG, the poster obsessed with fertility is back.
