“Prosecutors want no bail for love triangle killing,” according to an Associated Press article dated April 28 in The Maui News.

The article stated the defendant forbade the affair. I wonder how many more clients had an affair with this acupuncturist. Defendant’s spouse should also be accountable with those covering up denying facilitating. Married people should always be off limits. Divorce before straying away.

Killing should never be an option, especially when there are children involved. Affairs: Killers of souls, dismantling senses, entrapping loved ones in a compromising position. Forsaking morale becomes an inevitable choice of excruciating grief, anger, hatred and hopelessness.

For the sake of children, composure, calmness should stand its ground, emotion should never get your best. Divorce instead, taking full custody, or else young children could be left in the hands of narcissists grooming them to be sexual predators themselves.

Cheaters, homewreckers, common sexual predators — love has never been their equation but lust, perversion, selfishness. They are the mentally unstable.

Marital betrayal is pain beyond unfathomable. But alas, a second chance could be on the horizon, gifted from heaven, stepparents could bear stepchildren from their heart, a silver lining bequeathed with true conviction to repair the promise of marriage that has been broken with the ruthlessness of adultery.

Those cheated should all go on a mutual coalition, taking a stand, by suing homewreckers. Cheaters exploit, abusing the concept of no-fault divorce, causing domestic violence. How could we prevent more killings? We need good lawyers.
