Why do people commit homocide over love?

Answer 1

It often starts from feelings of insecurity. They may blame the world for what happens to them. Then they may find someone who seems to love them. They begin to take the person's love for granted, even start to demand it. They might look to the other person like they would a drug to fill some need inside that is their own responsibility. Then they may mistreat the person, and the person leaves or tries to leave. Then their whole sense of the world is shattered and they don't know what to do. They try everything to make the person stay, and it doesn't work. Then any feelings of disgust they have for themselves, they transfer to other other person, and they may kill the other person to punish them. They may think, "How dare you walk out on me! You are supposed to love me! Who do you think you are?"

That is one of the more bizarre composite sketches. Sometimes it is just the pain of heartbreak. Then they lose their head and don't know what to do, and then their passion and rage just takes over. The more intense and irrational their feelings of "love" were for the other person the more capable they are of hurting them when things go wrong. Love and hate are not really all that different, and sometimes things get so tangled up and love becomes hate.

When someone kills a third party over love, then the answer is most likely jealousy. Suppose a man arrives home early and catches his wife in bed with another man. That can cause some people to fly into a jealous rage, and if there are weapons around, it can become a deadly combination. He may kill his wife and/or her lover.

There is sometimes a sense of ownership involved, and sometimes delusional thinking. Some people will tell their partners that if they cannot have them, nobody else can. When their partner walks out, they may even become delusional, or obsessed. They may tell themselves the partner still loves them and it is someone else's fault for getting between them. They may constantly stalk their partner until it eventually turns into a deadly confrontation.
