Things with H seem to be very good. I finally feel like I'm in recovery. The only problem I have been having is from watching movies.

I knew to stay way from Spanglish. Since the OW was Brazilian and spoke poor English, I stayed FAR away from that one. But Sideways? Oh great, a man looking for sex before marriage. bummer, but at least not our situation.

Finding Neverland? Bad trigger. A married man falling in love with a woman and her sons. My H was in a period in his life regretted not having a son, and OW and son was a attractive package. I will never be able to watch Peter Pan again.

So. What can we watch that would be funny, enjoyable on a Saturday night?

I watched 'Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves' last night with DD. Thought I'd be OK (am able to watch some romances now without dissolving) but Morgan Freeman's character had an affair with a married woman! Or so it was suggested.

Hmph.

Try *The Princess Bride,* for starters. It's all about True Love <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Mulan

Spanglish wasn't that bad really.

(SPOILERS!)

The story is about a young girl, writting a letter to apply to harvard (or yale), and tells the story of her mom, a Mexican lady (played by a Spaniard actress, go figure), who worked year after year to provide for her after her husband abandoned them both.

They end up in the States, and the mother starts working with a medium-high class family, where the wife is having some sort of midle age crisis due to have been recently fired from her highly competitive job.

The wife ends up having an affair with a real state guy, and has several issues with her own daughter and tries to "adopt" the daughter of the maid somehow.

On the mean time the maid and the husband get to know each other and become good friends. This culminates with the maid and the husband kissing (or sort of kissing), and the maid then decides to leave the house, quit her job and break all contact with the family inmediately, since it is something very wrong to even kiss the husband.

On the mean time the wife starts to peek out of her fog, and realizes the bad choices and lack of communication in her marriage, and the movie pretty much ends with the maid and her daughter leaving the family, and the wife of the family vowing to re-build the marriage.

The trailers made it seem like the husband had a long affair with the maid and the wife was suffering from it, but the story is somehow different, and I did like it!

Other movies out there that I liked recently were:

Madagascar, cute fuzzy animals, just can't go wrong.

Sisterhood of the traveling pants, marketed as ultra girlie movie, but isn't so much. Great acting, moving storylines, deals with the effects of a divorce and re-marriage of a parent, so it might be trigger happy for some people on MB, still a wonderful movie nontheless.

Star Wars Episode 3 was fun to watch.

The Incredibles is a good movie too, funny.

Sometimes when I am in the pits I watch a movie where the main characters really have it bad. It makes me realize how lucky I am and how I should be thankful for what I have.
Don't know if this works with other people, but if it does, watch "Turtles can fly" it is a wonder of cinema... but so heart wrenching people were speachless while walking out of the cinema.

Oh yes Mulan! The Princess Bride is an AWESOME movie!

The Story of Us- a couple reconciles.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was funny. No buttons were pushed. The humor is a bit off-beat with a little more British influence than many can understand. Hitch was okay. National Treasure was good. It's a great action movie for kids. However, it's a big trigger for me. When I saw it at the theater it was right after D-day. All I can remember is crying through the entire thing.

BTW: The night WH came home from his long trip but before I discovered the A, I was going to watch one of my favorites, Masterpiece Theater. That night, it was the Six Wives of Henry VIII. Gosh, wonder why WH didn't want to watch it with me?
