Don't punish another person for your own failures.

This started out just like my divorce, but ended on a better note. Kids are not stupid. They know when they are being played. They listen, they watch, and they memorize everything; whether parents want to believe it or not.

I agree with your comment. I had a very peaceful and pleasant relationship with my wife...we never divorced but I know what you mean. I hear very often that children should be kept in secret about marriage issues. I don't believe that is true. Obviously they should be of a reasonable age so they understand. The children are pretty savvy when it comes to issues within the family. In fact I believe if they were told what the issue was they might be an influence in helping to solve the problem...a child's love has a great influence on the parents! I think there is more damage done if it is withheld from them and find out later! Its just a thought I wish you the best!

What a narcissistic jerk. I was married to a narc, but didn’t know it at the time. He was unemployed most of the marriage and became jealous and tried everything in his power to ruin my life. He created a smear campaign and ran into the arms of someone else cause I was so “terrible”. Blessing in disguise he found someone else. After realizing who he was and healing from it I finally have peace and feel sorry for anyone that lets him in.

Isn't that exactly what happens all the time when the man earns the check and wife stays at home? It sure happened to me and I ended up paying 10 years of alimony even though I had 50% custody and visitation of my son. Oh I also paid child support even with joint custody 50 percent each. Sure is fair isn't it?

He finally explains to the family friend he has a problem. His crisis affected those he most love. Good movie, not a fairytail ending, realistic.

Some real life problems have a fairytale endings, therefore they're realistic! But why a fictional film needs to be realistic? Life itself is enough realistic, when I watch a fictional film I don't want it to be realistic, I need to get away from that mandane, realistic life!!!

@Deb Harris Easy answer: It's because he sued for maintenence/alimony which the judge awarded and because he recognised the father as the primary caregiver. Once the judge has made a decision, family law prevails and the only ones who can alter the terms are the parents themselves through mutual agreement in the best interests of the children. Obviously very few divorces are this congenial and far too many get very very messy because all too often one of the parents is far too interested in hurting the other for whatever transgression set the said trainwreck in motion. As another commenter said, "the ones who suffer are always the children". His fault for feeling "neutered". Hers for not recognising it.

I'm so glad the boy knew that it was his dad's fault! The man couldn't handle the success of his wife and how he amounted to nothing in his life! He didn't mind her supporting his lifestyle though! He didn't feel needed, that's his own problem...she wanted their marriage.

Ok,what the hell is this nonsense?Okay,the wife was a little aloof, but that hardly justifies what her husband did.You have your wife removed from your home just because she has to work to support the family?If the husband had gotten off his rump and gotten a job of some kind he wouldn't have felt so jealous.He was home all the time and didn't do squat. The wife made many of the children's games and events, and frankly most working parents don't make every event if the family wants to keep eating and living in a nice house.And also what judge has any parent relieved of home and custody without social worker level neglect?This is ridiculous.

Such a superb film, the acting was incredible! Highly recomend this to each and everyone of you! Makes you think, evaluate and question what we do to each other and ultimately to our kids, because they suffer the most. No words to describe this, just superb! If you contemplate to watch it or not, just watch it, it is worth every second.

I know my Mom is in Heaven. I don't listen to anyone but Jesus.

Remember that it's the way that a person feels about themselves when they are with you! The husband is a classic case of this! He felt like nothing with his wife! Everyone wants to be needed. Some people just aren't strong enough to endure a temporary situation and he just wasn't. Lorraine Bracco is so much like a lot of women in our society! Especially if they still love their husbands!

I am amazed by all these comments. It's a movie and these are parts being played out, imaginary. However I realize in real life "stuff" happens" that may or may not be similiar. People are basically selfish and that will not hold any marriage together. Her part demonstrated forbearance, forgiveness, Grace. All good qualities for any person to have.

She strong-headed and strong-willed. From the very beginning of the movie she does what she wants instead of what they have agreed to. He tells her he wants to talk she says "okay I just have to make a quick phone call to see what time I'm being picked up in the morning", and then ends up gossiping the rest of the night and completely blows off the husband.

Her husband that's asking for a divorce is jealous of her being the breadwinner as he feels inadequate when all he needs to do is get a job and be a man and support his family .

I really like this movie because the actors look as if they are showcasing real emotions. At the beginning of the movie, you can see that the husband is feeling slightly left out and he adopts a hostile attitude towards his wife. He is just so distant. I have watched this movie before and I liked it because the actors did a greta job. I wish that more movies like this could be made where the actors exel at portraying human emotion and the plotline is plausible as opposed to being far-fetched.

Yes, but he still divorced her and tore his family apart because of his pride! Very sad.

This was a good movie to watch on a rainy afternoon. The husband made me mad at first but at least they were amicable at the end.

Parents going through a divorce should love their children more than they hate each other!

I taught Michael Cera when he was in grade 7. At that time he already had an agent. I asked him to bring in some of the work he was in and this was one of the movies which I showed to the class. A very moving story that I felt should have received more recognition in theatres throughout. Then Superbad came out and that's when he made it in the big league and everyone knew then who Michael Cera was. What you see him as in film is really what his true character is. A lot of class.

Total breakdown in communication.

People treat their children as possessions, as prizes to be won in a custody battle: "no it's MY kid!", "No you can't have them!", "How dare you take my son!", "I'm keeping the children!" Kids are not objects to fight over. They are human beings who can be scarred for life if their parents play tug-of-war with them. It's sickening!
