Intimate partner homicides are almost always a matter of the man's self-image (how he sees himself, and how he wants others to see him) not allowing him to accept rejection; doing so would make him a quitter, a loser. So he'd rather kill her than be "the kind of guy who lets a woman walk out on him."
In a very real sense, every intimate partner homicide is an "honor killing." Funny how often "honor" requires killing women.
