BETA of the Month: my vote

Roissy has revived his popular BETA of the Month post, and all three nominees are a doozy.  We are presented with three options:

1. Catholic guy whose wife wants a divorce
2. Elaborate proposal guy
3. Widower whose adulterous wife was murdered while getting her groove back in Turkey.

All three men are sad sacks.  Whereas BETA #1 appears to be a normal low delta who simply can't except that debasing himself and accommodating his wife isn't going to regain her affection, he doesn't appear likely to be fine with her cheating, much less gallivanting off to foreign climes in search of vibrant alphas.  BETA #2 is cringe-making, to be sure, but while it is gamma to the core, it can't really be compared to the other two situations even if it wouldn't be terribly surprising to eventually learn that his marriage has gone the way of our first contestant's.

So, my vote is for BETA #3.  The fact that the intrepid widower hasn't come out and stated that his idiot wife got exactly what her behavior deserved only tends to underline his lowly rank on the socio-sexual totem pole and makes the deceased's behavior comprehensible, though not even remotely acceptable.
