QuoteMichaels claimed she killed Willette out of frustration over how quickly he was moving in with their daughters. The former couple had discussed living together again months earlier, in hopes of "keeping their family together."

The story then took an even darker turn: at the time of the crime, Michaels was married to Deviere, her ex-partner's adult son from a previous relationship.

Michaels and Deviere told police their marriage was for insurance purposes, but it was later revealed they had been secretly involved for years, even while Michaels dated Johnathan.

QuoteBy focusing on achievement-related money attitudes, the study highlights how men in particular integrate their partners' perspectives into how they evaluate their own professional success. For wives and girlfriends, this trend was significantly less pronounced.

So if a married couple is aligned on what money means to them, the husband tends to feel more fulfilled with his job. If a couple has totally different perceptions of money, that workplace fulfillment dissipates.

Interestingly, Merchant noted, men's fulfillment was lowest when couples were only moderately misaligned on financial values, not when they had completely opposite views.

QuoteTaglianetti, an ex-Marine, became enraged when he discovered an explicit email between his wife, Mary, and Reed. The two had had a brief relationship in 2010 and had rekindled their romance online.

Taglianetti drove 350 miles from Woodbridge, Virginia to Clymer in September of 2012 and shot Reed three times outside his rural Clymer home, where he lived alone.

Reed, 51, was a divorced father of three children. The killing shocked the small community, where Reed was commonly described as being popular.

QuoteNearly all women in STEM graduate programs report feeling like impostors, despite strong evidence of success. This mindset leads many to dismiss their achievements as luck and fear being "found out." Research links impostorism to worse mental health, higher burnout, and increased thoughts of dropping out. Supportive environments and shifting beliefs about intelligence may help break the cycle.
