Here's where we differ. I think Barry was crazy in love with Suzanne. It was Suzanne's distancing herself from him that drove him over the edge. A fragile ego, he craved her approval. When she didn't feed his need, he couldn't handle it.
I might be able to believe Barry was crazy in love with Suzanne way back when they first met, or at least thought he was. At any rate, I think the bloom fell off the rose quite awhile ago for Barry. I personally think he was likely jealous of Suzanne and grew to despise her, her genuine loving goodness, selflessness, kindness, calm. She was everything he was not and will never be. I also think he possibly resented her because she was standing in the way of something he wanted, wanted to do, or was involved in that she found about about and put her foot down. She said no to him, maybe for the first time ever. IMO, Barry is entitled and doesn’t like the word no. No one is going to tell him what to do. He is the big man on campus, the boss, controller, master manipulator who expects everyone to kow tow to him. I believe Suzanne did just that for many, many years, but I think after beating cancer a second time, she was possibly reevaluating her life and perhaps trying to distance from him, yes. She might have mentioned separation or divorce, if so, neither was an option for ole Barry because of his huge ego and obvious greed.
IMO, people who are genuinely in love with someone else in the truest sense requires vulnerability, and able to feel empathy and compassion for others. Anyone who can deliberately take their beautiful, loving wife’s life, engage in elaborate coverup and dispose of them with such callous disregard, like trash, is someone with no soul, someone devoid of empathy and compassion, someone incapable of true, authentic love. His disrespectful behaviors and distancing language after the fact, prove to me even more his lack of respect and love for Suzanne. Yes, right now he is just accused/charged with murdering Suzanne, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. But I believe LE and DA Linda Stanley got this one right and must have some compelling evidence to charge him with deliberate Murder in the 1st degree. IMO, they would not have brought forth those serious charges if they felt they didn’t have air-right case. I believe in Linda Stanley’s confidence as she stated at the podium the other day. She has been described as a bulldog and so far, I like what I’ve seen and heard from her. And she’s right, this is about Suzanne, and Suzanne didn’t drive Barry to kill her because she wasn’t feeding his ego anymore. He deliberated and made a choice to kill her. Suzanne is his victim.
Can’t wait until we get to read the AA.
