Well it’s certainly possible, sure. It seems every relationship has some misalignment of interests, so this would be the norm. For each person moving too fast, there is another in the relationship thinking the other is moving too slow.

This sucks, but the person rightfully has been fired. She also should not have access to guns. She had her finger on the trigger and that should only happen when it’s immediately followed by the trigger being pulled. It would also appear that at one point she was trying to holster the gun in her front pants pocket. Not a good idea.
