    No, I wouldn’t. Some people can’t help themselves from getting violent when they are angry. These people have poor self control and no restraint. I know everyone is different, and few are like myself. I have an extremely solid relationship with my wife. We’ve been together for nearly 30 years and trust and rely on each other completely. Finding out that she was cheating on me would be devastating emotionally and extremely confusing. It would call into doubt everything that I believe. Yet, I wouldn’t feel any need to get violent with anyone. We would have a long talk about how to move forward, and the future of our relationship, and about trust, and the consequences of the infidelity. I wouldn’t do anything rash or misguided. That’s just how I am. Maybe that’s why I’m in a solid healthy loving relationship. My advice to anyone pondering this is to communicate. Talk with your partner all the time, for hours, until you both are so well connected that you trust one another completely.
