When I was 15 I developed a little crush on a coworker who was married. I did not tell him or anything, but I told my mom about it. Her reaction was not what I expected at all. I thought she’d just roll her eyes and laugh at me. Instead, she got deadly serious and stated very clearly that there’s not much lower a person can sink in life than to become a home-wrecker. I never needed to be told twice and have always lived by that rule, to never ever - no matter what the situation may be - interfere with someone else’s marriage.

Your mom got her parenting right. I say this not because of her lecturing you against wrecking an innocent person's home and marriage. I say it for the fact that she had built the kind of relationship with you such that you could actually approach her and open up about having a crush on a coworker. I wouldn't take that kind of openness between parents and children for granted.

And I went from being daddy's little princess - the apple of his eye - to seeing him for 15 minutes once a year. Gone. Not even birthday phone calls.

It was so sad to see them throwing insults at each other and when Amanda hit Joan, I expected Joan to hit back but she accepted the attack with grace, telling Amanda's son, basically, that she deserved it.

This movie reminds me of my ex…I was married over 12+yrs. I helped my next door neighbor get a job at the same company where I worked. Little did I know she would start sleeping w my husband. Later, she became my boss! She would set my schedule to where she could sleep w him, while her husband was working, and I was away working. Later Her husband called to say he had caught the two of them together! I moved out quickly, it was traumatizing. My divorce attorney said usually when this happens, you can assume the affair has been going on for a few years…The wife is always the last to know. I deserved much better.

Maybe they realize that human beings are flawed, and understand we all have a sinful nature we struggle with. That not forgiving leads to loneliness and bitterness. In the scene where she was at the divorce lawyers office i think she realized this, because even though her friend got everything in her divorce she sounded bitter. Personally, I don't know what I would do in this kind of circumstance, but I'd hope I would have the strengh and humility to try to forgive and work through it.

My husband and I built our dream homestead and lived there happily 19 years, or so I thought. I learned he was cheating, I was going to leave him, but gave him several chances, but he still had his affair. I left our beautiful home ( big mistake on my part ) but heart break can cause bad decisions. its been 11 years and I STILL have not been able to fully get over it, he married her 11 months after our divorce, and now she lives in my beautiful home I helped build and paid it off. ... It tears a family apart. 💔

That was 30 yrs ago but it still brings up all of those feelings I can handle it now. Anyone that cheats is a liar n would sell their own mother to the devil.

One thing I really appreciated about the writing here, was how Baxter's character ended the last scene with the husband as a sort of 'I don't know' kind of decision. I think that was a lot more preferable to many, rather that her totally take her husband back again. It was a far more realistic outcome, based on the time frame, and the newness of the betrayal. She admitted she still loved him, but was honest enough with herself, to also say, 'I don't know if love is enough'. I just thought that was a really good way of ending that scene, with the two characters.

Although I agree... How accepted it generally is in our Society!!! So many male Celebrities marry gals half their age. And it's been done almost since the beginning of time, families marrying off a daughter to some older well off fellow, regardless of whether or not the daughter liked the guy!!! Not so long ago, most women were considered property, to be bought & sold. We may personally object, but just think about how prevalent it is: Harrison Ford, Chris Harrison, Clint Eastwood, Alex Trebek, Cary Grant, Michael Douglas, Donald Trump, Alec Baldwin, Charlie Chaplin, George Clooney, Eddie Murphy, Warren Beatty, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Bob Saget, David Hasselhoff, Jeff Goldblum, Sean Penn, Dennis Quaid, Richard Gere, Mel Gibson, Mic Jagger, Dick Van Dyke... The list goes "ON & ON!!!" It almost seems a former Star needs to marry someone significantly younger, or at least have a young babe on his arm!!! So, while we may not like it, it's generally accepted by society as a "Status Symbol." With a number of Glamorous Female Actresses following the trend, as they age... Liz Taylor, Cher, & Joan Collins, to name a few. Thank God for the Few Great Celebrities Couples with Similar Aged Partners that manage to stay together till "The End!!!"

Excellent movie! Great acting! I've always loved Meredith Baxter and I've enjoyed Swoosie, the times I've seen her. They really knocked the ball out of the park in this one!

If you are in a relationship you have to keep secret - you should not be in that relationship. Pain and Loss will result.

So you will talk to your husband but you can’t talk to your friend, he is the cheater
