Not all of such situations are domestic in which someone is being mistreated often by one partner. I beleive grief and overwhelming shock such as knowing you've been cheated on or are going to lose someone you love - can drive a person insane and cause them to do things that crush families and end their life and the one they love - where some counseling and time passage could have changed the whole outcome. Bless both families.
