I can't remember the name of it - but there was a movie on cable last year, about this time (I think it has been on again since then as well) about a woman whose WH leaves her, and she ends up suing the OW for alienation of affection, and wins. It was based on a true story.
I just happened to turn the tv on one Saturday afternoon as it was just starting. Perfect timeing for me.

Darn - wish I could remember the name of it.
The WH was an Insurance Exec, as I recall. The OW worked in his office. The A went on for years before OW finally gave him an ultimatum. I remember the scene where he came home for lunch to tell his wife that he was leaving her. She was horrifed. Had no idea it was going on.

After she got over the inital shock, and the D was final, she decided to sue the OW - not that she cared about the money, but she wanted to make a statement to everyone. As she put it "everyone thinks that I did not have a good M - and that was why my H left - but I had a good marriage - a strong marriage - until that woman came along and convinced my H that he should be with her instead."

If I think of the name of it - I will re-post.

This is driving me crazy...I can't remember the name of this movie, but it's about a Wife and Husband being separated...the Wife starts dating this younger man..in fact she's in her mid to late 30's and the young lover is in college, The H kills his OM and the court finds him not guilty..called it a crime of passion...

Interesting movie...darn it whats the name of that movie...The OM's father takes out the H in the end...The ... The.... GRRRRRRR!

In The Bedroom?
Has the kid from terminator 3 [nick stahl] as the OM/college kid...Marisa Tomei as WW ..Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson as the parents of the OM.

This one was really more about how the parents of OM dealt with the loss of their son..because in this world..the OM/WW relationship was virtuous and H was a slimeball nut <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

anyway..that could be it... from your description this is a likely candidate..

Yea....that movie Unfaitful was painful to watch. I cried through most of it too. I agree with 2Long.....should have ended it with OM still alive and showing them having to go through recovery. Actually any movie with 2 people in love gets me these days....hard to watch other people being happily married!

"My Son the Fanatic" - it's a foreign film about a Muslim taxi driver who has an affair with one of the prostitutes he drives to her appointments. His wife goes home to Pakistan or India at the end and he swears he will follow her. She looks him in the eye and says No, you won't. You have no more feeling for me. Her expression is unemotional. She isn't fishing or manipulating and there isn't the least hint of wanting him to protest that he loves her.

And he DOESN'T respond. And she does leave, and he lives alone.

I really admired the wife, because with no histrionics she stopped his bullsh0t and gets on with her packing.

Not to go off subject, but Tree made me think of
something. Tree does it bother you when you go to Church and see all the happy families sitting together??? Really bothers me now.

Not that I was asked or anything, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
but I too had serious problems going to church and sitting amongst all the families. Couldn't keep myself together. So much so that I had to stop going, at least for the time being.

I watched "One Hour Photo" this past week. It stars Robin Williams as this lonely guy obssessed with one of the families that brings in their photos...even fantasizing he's a part of the family. When he finds out Dad is Scr$wing around he "helps" Mom find out, and when she doesn't have the reaction he expects, he takes matters into his own hands and exacts his own revenge...

Great for those BS's wanting a revenge film. Very interesting. Brings stark REALITY to the A. Sheds light on it!!!

Jets,

This feeling, this anger towards people who have what you have lost, is something I understand well, even though I have no children.

It's similar to when you are ill, and you see healthy people, and you are annoyed that you have to be ill while everybody else is well.

We all suffer. You're taking a turn at it right now, and so will the people in all those happy, loving families you're envious of. Try not to be so offended by it. Loss and pain comes to everybody. It isn't fair that you should suffer so harshly at the hands of a loved one. But one day, you will be the happy one. When that time comes, try to remember the people you resent today. You'll be sitting at church, and you'll look around, and you'll know there are people in the room that are in pain. Some will be the same ones you envy now.

I suggest you try to be happy for people who are not suffering, be unsurprised by your own sadness, and when you're happy again, remember all the people who, like you today, are not.

Everybody who survives long enough goes through times of pain and loss. Everybody.

Oh yeah, just watched a movie last night "Along Came Polly", where Ben Stiller's new wife cheated on him on their honeymoon...then he found someone else after a few weeks? (everyone telling him to get on with his life) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> And, of course, the wife comes back and wants to work it out...
