@aidan,
Do you really not understand how hurt and humiliated this poor girl was when she read about her husband's betrayal of her in a national tabloid?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She can be as hurt as hurt can be and maybe rightly so that does not however grant her a license to attack him anymore then it would grant a license for a man to attack his wife for a similar reason.
If repeat if she did indeed attacked him with a golf club then she should be treated the same as a man would be who attack his wife with a golf club.
No double standards then it come to domestic violence cases period end of subject.
