In a strange twist of events an affair in Iran ended up leading to the death of the two spouses, while the paramour remains free. Raheleh Zamani came home to find her husband with another woman. The site of seeing the two of them together enraged her. She complained to her husband her then threw her out of their home, and threatened her not to speak of what she had seen. He was displeased with her and did not want her as his wife any longer. She had given him two children and she was no longer of use to him. In her continued rage, she returned and killed him.
Although it was a crime of passion, Iranian authorities executed her by hanging for her actions.
Affairs are dangerous and life-threatening. No matter what country you are in, having an affair is taking your life in your own hands, as her husband discovered. The feelings aroused are not to be toyed with. The feelings are strong. The reactions are intense and quick. Looking at an affair as a simple physical act that is without feeling, and is just as harmless as smoking a cigarette is a mistaken assumption. Once the feelings are aroused, there is little predictability as to what will eventually transpire.

In this news item, a divorced wife makes an attempt on her former husband’s life. The feelings stirred up by an affair are intense and can be long lasting. Sometimes those issues that seem long dead are harboring a potential bonfire that can overwhelm those involved. Refusing to talk about matters is one way to set the old embers ablaze. As Yogi Berra said, “It ain’t over till its over”.

It is natural that when we are hurt, we want to hurt back. While in that state of hurt, we want to make others feel the pain that we feel. Although revenge is one outlet for that pain, it seldom delivers the joy that is desired. Yes revenge may leave you feeling like you have power, it may transfer the pain to another party or parties, but it does not solve problems. If your problems are solved through revenge, then healing the marriage was not your first concern.
One act of revenge often begins a series of attack and counter-attack moves that leaves a lot of emotionally wounded people surrounding you and your spouse. During the aftermath of an affair, you need support and encouragement. When all your friends, and acquaintances are emotionally wounded they are not available for you. If they disapprove of your actions, they will not be available either.
Although revenge and mayhem sound promising, they seldom deliver satisfaction. In the days when honor was a major concern for people, revenge often took the form of duels. Such actions have been illegal for many years for many reasons.
Before engaging in an act of revenge, consider what will it accomplish? If it does not bring healing or restitution, it is not the right solution.
