Seriously think about this for a second....
Wow, there are way too many people here saying "she deserved it". The fact that people "can relate" to Crowe's anger and frustration is actually terrifying. Even if she was a horrible person, she is not responsible for his actions. No one is responsible for the actions of another person, the same way no one can blame someone else for how they feel (within reason).
Anyone who disagrees with this are mostly of the mentality that a constantly beaten spouse 'deserved it'....
