The summary seems to be that control is clearly a large factor in this dynamic, as well as seeing the women as a possession. Unfortunately, the summer has continued with stories of this nature. I'm hoping that when the cold weather comes, things will calm down. Most psychologists would agree with you (though maybe not about the rotting-in-hell part).

What could possibly make these men think they are entitled to take the lives of their former loves? I think in such cases they must become obsessed with regaining masculinity or control, and the only way they know of doing so is by killing those who rejected them. These men are pitiful, yes, but even more despicable, in that they are not able to cope with rejection, but instead choose to rob these women of the rich, full lives they surely would have led without these losers. If I believed in Hell, I'd say may these men rot there for all eternity.
