With Mary just finding out that her husband is leaving her‚ there is no surprise that she would freak out especially after assuming her marriage the whole time was good. When most people are brought with such horrific news and have little to no time to digest such things‚ they tend to be irrational and do things beyond their moral beliefs and control.
