Ah, one more falling in MLC trenches.  Hope his wife gets £35 million if they divorce. He will still have another £35 million to squander on OW. Until OW takes him to the cleaners, of course.

A terrible murder happened in Italy last week, it was all over the news, and the more I read about it, the more I think it might be MLC-related.

Basically this man, Carlo Lissi, had a 38 yo wife, a 4 yo daughter and a 20 month old son. He was dissatisfied with his work and life and got a massive crush on a woman at his job... however this woman didn't become an OW, she flat out rejected him and wanted nothing to do with him.

So he went home and killed his wife and two children, then showered and went to watch the football game at the bar as if nothing had happened. He tried to pretend there had been a robbery in his house but he was busted immediately because he left traces all over the place, he was completely irrational in how he handled it.

During the interrogation, the police asked him why he didn't just get a divorce, and he said something like 'because if you divorce the kids are still there anyway'.

Sadly too many people are blaming, guess who? Either the wife - oh she must have been so horrible - or the poor other woman, saying 'oh he killed his family for that wh*re! what a b*tch to mess with a married man!' and when they are informed that she rejected him, then they turn to 'oh that stupid stuck up wh*re! if she'd just put out none of this would have happened! women are b*tches!'

....seriously, guys. Seriously.

ETA: He was 32

you may be right..I have long suspected that some domestic homicides are caused by MLC

Merged this thread with MLC in the news - to avoid too many similar threads

Ah, thank you dear, I hadn't thought of posting it on this one!

All crises & issues fall on a spectrum.  This case is an extreme example--if you ever watch [ ] those true crime shows, there are many that are almost certainly mlc.

Maybe that one is more a case of burnout/burning the (brain) fuses) than MLC. My friend who is psychiatrist had a few of those cases and they used to be caused my extreme stress. One guy had planned to kill the kids, next the wife, than himself. The wife caught him trying to murder the kids and managed to call the police. The man end up in the psychiatric hospital. He was a top white collar man, very well off in life, he told my friend he could no longer deal with the stress of his very demanding profession and wanted to get rid of everything that remind him of it.

Just watched the movie The  Invisible Women. Excellent movie based on Charles d!ckens Mid Life Crisis.

It seems that MLC knows no bounds

On further research , I found this article that describes Mr. d!ckens horrible demons from his childhood.

Clearly classic case of MLC. , and so very sad for his wife and his children. He himself died prematurely from all the stress of his double life and no doubt the regret, guilt and remorse. Very sad indeed.
