Is it just me, or does it seem like a large portion of television programs have infifelity as a main topic, or at least part of the story. I don't mean trash like Jerry Springer, but regualr mainstream movies and programs. I don't spend a lot of time watching TV, but it seems like everytime I watch something cheating is part of the program. Has anyone else noticed how often this comes up?

Yes, and sadly many of these tv programs do more harm than good. Instead of showing the devastation it causes, these shows usually tend to glorify and justify it, especially in the case of female infidelity.

Long-suffering wife, insensitive and uncaring husband. Long-suffering wife finds someone who finally understands and appreciates her and makes firecrackers go off in her undies. Yawn.

I would have to agree with you. A lot of TV makes light of infidelity. I hate watching that stuff with my H because I know how it makes him feel and I hate seeing him go through that pain over and over. I usually get really angry with the people on TV. That seems to help some.

GC Imagine the hoopla if there was a movie where instead of the wife it was the H who cheated. The dominant PC folks would never allow that movie to go unnoticed and unvilified. TMCM

It's not just TV. It's music, movies and even cartoons. Apparently the message is that screwing someone other than your partner is no big deal, just something that happens. Funny, it felt like a big deal to me.

Yeah, I was sick after I saw "Finding Neverland" - here everyone had raved about it as some great family film, and it's all about how acceptable and great AN AFFAIR IS!!!!!!!!! The main character leaves his faithful wife (who of course is villified as cold and remote) to become the OM to a mother of 3 or 4 boys.
I mean, our kids were with us! I was appalled.

I never saw the movie but I remember wanting to go see it with my H. I will have to add that to my list of movies not to see, at least not until LONG after recovery.
