For sure. If it happened to their own it would be that girls fault, which is why they can justify their own behaviour. Which is why some wives, and I am looking at MD with squinty eyes here, who do look at other women in that light.
MD was awfully keen , in interviews with police, to lay out Lynn as someone who was weak , who didn't 'fight' for her marriage, such utter nonsense, Dawson had to kill her to end it, a signal of how much Lynn put into keeping the family together. Lynn got on MD's nerves, she had a father who put up $10,000 as a loan for their lavish house, a profession, ( a qualified RN ) , a secure job at a kindergarten, a gifted and talented seamstress, who dressed immaculately for every and any occasion, and who maintained a close relationship with her family. All that stuff was a great annoyance to MD.
