How do YOU quell the need to maim someone?

For the past few months, I have watched my best friend's relationship with her husband being ripped to shreds. I know logically that I cannot help her in this, but a part of me wants to do physical harm to the persons causing this. Granted, she has a small amount of blame in this as she did not stop this sooner, but the majority of the blame falls on her husband and his "pet". A more appropriate term would be "the other woman".

This same person tries so hard to convince people that she is this demure, innocent little girl. This is evident in a post she posted back in July: I don't want to hurt anyone, and I would never do so intentionally. I am not a mean person. I work so hard to please others, and to have people like me, and I think I generally am liked. But sometimes I can't help it when someone else decides that they cannot like me, and on top of that, that they need to share their dislike and their poisonous words and everything else with the world. So, there are a lot of things floating around about me, and I am not even around to defend myself.

All of this is affecting me right now. I am not doing well. I am extremely unhappy...I didn't try to hurt ANYONE. I still don't want anyone who has been swayed to dislike me to hurt.

How can I believe this? I have watched you worm your way into my friend's relationship then turn on her when she finally figured out what was going on. You tell people that you want nothing to do with my friend's husband, then turn around and text message him all the time. Some of those times tattling on my friend like a little child when you and she had an argumentative conversation via gtalk.

Then today I hear that you text/call her and tell her that you would leave him alone if she could make him happy, but since you knew she couldn't, you weren't going to. Not selfish at all, are you? When she commented that this was just being b*tchy, you tell her you learned from the best, her. When she asked you if you even cared that you are hurting her, you tell her no, you don't care. Maybe you need to re-read your own words I don't want to hurt anyone, and I would never do so intentionally.

You tell her you don't care if people know about the affair you and him are planning on having once you are back into the DFW area, as long as she is ok with it. But she has said over and over that she is not ok with it. But because she loves him, something you have no concept of, she is letting him do what makes him happy at the expense of her happiness. Personally, you and him could fall off the face of this earth and I would not mourn or miss either of you. You are bad news. But then, life father, like daugher, uh?

Since I know that this is going to generate a firestorm of responses, both from people that have been snowed by your act or from people who do not know what exactly is going on, comments will be screened and left to my judgment as to whether or not they will be answered. So, talk amongst yourselves.

relationship, friend
