I saw it yesterday. I told my hubby that if I ever get so low in our marriage and is tempted to cheat, I will look at this movie again.

For the ladies who saw it, what did you think about it.

For those who haven't, it's available at blockbuster, borrow it.

By the way - I wasnt defending the wifes actions are agreed with her decisions. I was just saying the dilemna was more complicated than 'evil wife cheats' and the solution is not as easy as it may seem.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

I don't believe the passion in a marriage has to end. I think you grow and you do new things. I see couples that have been together for years and they don't even touch each other. Husband comes home and they are just like hello and keep going. I never want us to get like that. People tell us all the time we are together too much and we are sickening. I am like oh well. I love my husand with all my heart and I never get tired of him. We love hanging on each other when we go out and everything. I think we kiss at least 10 times a day. I don't think a day has gone by since we have been together that we don't tell each other I love you.

People start taking each other for granted. Like why do the older couples here see valentines gifts as meaningless. I don't think you need valentines day to give a gift but dag buy hubby a card for no reason. Those little things go a long way.

No you will not be having passionate sex forever but do other things. There is no way I would risk my marriage for some loser and that guy was a loser compared to her husband.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

Shamma I disagree with the first part of your statement and that is just because I found my husband when I wasn't looking. However, I do agree with you that something was lacking for her to pursue this encounter.

By the way, you are going to know the entire movie if you continue reading this thread

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

I don't see what was lacking in their marriage. She went out and ruined things. The movie does not really depict like her husband pays her no mind. Actually what I got was that the husband was trying to connect with her but she was so busy with this new guy she didn't even notice or try to get with the husband.

And I also agree they did not promote the movie properly. When I saw it it was not what I expected.

Dgtlsunshine: My sentiments exactly. I am like she has it all, and she is risking it for this boy toy.

Stef: I understand where you are coming from.

*peeking thru my fingers to read everyone's comment* Natasha I will still rent it. Maybe I did not say it right, when I say she was looking, I don't mean literally on the hunt, I mean, if something was not missing/lacking she would not be out there trying to fill a void.

I think this would make a great QOTD, for us, what do/would you do to keep the spark in your marriage going??

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

I agree with that one Stef. I would be holding on for dear life hoping no other woman tries to take him from me.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

Also Shamma get out of here.

I really thought she would get it together after she realized here she was risking her marriage and he was enjoying her and others.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

Neva, taking each other for granted is one of the biggest things I see, we just let all the niceties (i know no such word) but for lack of a better) go out the window, once we quote on quote have the person. I have to say I agree with you 100%. Every time I part with my hubby I have to kiss him and tell him I love him. We greet and part in the same manner. The little things does count.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

Shamma: Got you.

Definitely a good QOTD.

dgtlsunshine Posted: Jan 28, 2003 10:27 AM

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

But you know Shamma there are so many things that you have to go through in marriage that at times everything will not be in place. There are times that my husband may be under great stress for what ever reason and can't provide the affection I want. My thing is when you get married you take good and bad. Not my husband pays me no attention and this guy was so I cheated.

So when things are lacking we still have no good reason to cheat.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

Yes Shamma totally. I find the couples that are happily married are the ones that still do these little things.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

I am the same way with my husband. My family are always saying we look so happy together because we are so loving with each other. That just goes to show you need to continue the honeymoon in your marriage. It's not always easy, but if you love your spouse you will make the effort.

shamma Posted: Jan 28, 2003 10:31 AM

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

Neva, I agree with that point, what I also believe is that we have to have other things going on in our lives, b/c no one person can fill all our needs etc, that is why we need things that we do with our friends, on our own etc.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

I agree.

Re: The movie - Unfaithful

I'm curious to see the movie now....I'll have to see if it comes across the same as the way it's been described here.
