    I always wonder how someone could think that murdering their spouse is easier than divorce or therapy.

    So many lives ruined for absolutely zero gain.

      As Paul Simon said, there must be 50 ways to leave your lover. Pretty sure none of them are murder

        There’s only five ways discussed in the song. Maybe the other 45 are various forms of murder.

        You just need a few pills, Jill
        Couple o’ stabs, Babs
        You can run over with a car, Jafar
        Just get yourself free

      If you can get away with it, it’s the option with the strongest financial incentive.

      But this guy minimum-efforted it - there was zero chance he’d escape suspicion. Hell, he apparently told someone else he was doing it. No idea what he was thinking.

        You might as well play the lottery and expect to win!

        He also used poison found on their farm… what an idiot!
