When Bruni explained how she’d react if her husband hypothetically committed adultery, the interview turned very intense. Many experts said that Bruni was channeling feelings that most women would never articulate but feel.  But in America, where more than half of all women murdered by a gun are killed by partners of family members, Bruni's comments were a bit unsettling. “I could do extreme gestures, like cut his throat or his ears when he’s asleep, for example,” she said, as reported by Hollywood.com. “I think you should avoid to cheat if you can; it’s too dangerous. It’s a road to a breakup. Also, fidelity, this is a sine qua non [essential] condition for a wedding [sic], I guess. Why cheat and lie whereas you have the possibility to choose your life, get married or not, have kids or not.”
