Jealousy is often touted as the green-eyed monster that can wreak havoc on relationships, but when it escalates to violence, the consequences can be dire.
This reality was all too evident in a recent horrifying incident where a woman burnt her ex-boyfriend’s face with acid, leaving all to wonder how far an individual can go when consumed by jealousy.
The incident occurred when the woman’s ex-boyfriend received a call from another woman at midnight, accusing him of cheating.
The ex-girlfriend interpreted this call as evidence that her boyfriend had left her because of that woman, thus justifying her heinous act of throwing acid at his face in a fit of rage.
The consequences of her actions are irreversible and life-changing for both parties. The young man now bears the physical scars of this tragedy, and potentially the emotional ones for the rest of his life, while the attacker faces the dark reality of a lifetime in jail.
