Depends on who are we speaking of. For Turin and Maeglin it certainly was deadly.

And don't forget Turin and Tuor were cousins. I believe that while Lalaith and Huor were still alive, Tuor visited Dor-Lomin, at least once. And at the pools of Ivrin he witnessed Turin declare his love for Finduilas.

I believe it wasn't Maeglin's treason that made Tuor move in for the kill. It was memory of Turin + sight of Maeglin grabbing Idril + Eol's dying words that made Tuor do it. He thought that if he had to die...

"Better from my hand than from Morgoth's" was what Tuor thought at that moment. I gurantee it.
