I agree with what everyone else said in essence: your first responsibility is to prevent murder, whatever that takes. Some time apart seems like a really good idea.

Having said that, it seems to me that Armand is in a very difficult spot. Note that I do not find murder or physical violence to be at all an acceptable solution. But regardless, I feel for him. I wonder what support can be given to Armand for him to work through this in a /safe/ way for everyone involved.
