Sometimes I do dumb shit like emerge myself in shows and movies and books that have affairs in them.
This one though? This one is getting me.
My heart hurts for the wife. I have empathy and somewhat like the side chick.
Until their sex scenes. I hate those scenes.
The husband is an absolute douche bag.
I’m half way through season 2 and I have no idea why I do this to myself.
I was watching this show while he was in the midst of his affair. He hated when I would ask him to watch it with me. He used to make any excuse not to. I was so clueless. I had no idea I was watching my own story…I didn’t make it past the second season as that’s when D-day happened. This show will always remain a huge trigger for me.
There is so much more to that show than “the affair.” I watched it years ago. The sex scenes between those two go away if I remember correctly. The first season should definitely be called The Affair, but after that, it’s no longer about that, and yeah that husband character is a creep! But I think the show is good. The ending is not my favorite, but a lot happens between now and then. xo
I am intolerant of affairs in movies and tv. If it is a major story line I move on.
Even worse, my daughter is the same. Kids are impacted by cheating for life. For me, it was at 46. For her, 14. Unacceptable.
