A divorce destroys lives. The worst when children are involved. I am a therapist and just saw a child in absolute shambles as her father left them sisters and mother for another woman. She came in sobbing not wanting to come to school not interested in anything. In tears every time some talks about the fun they have with their family. How does a parent account for their personal interest and selfish motives when the lives of their children will never be the same. Who accounts for those tears and for that ordeal that children go through. Adultery beyond being a sin is a curse
Of deceit was extremely disturbing. However, as a therapist you should know and understand that if you explain to children that it's not their fault and that their parents have the right to be happy it's crucial. Even though Dot may have not realized it was the best thing that ever happened to her, and that she deserves loyalty, respect and a better example of a man than their father is!
⚠️ Based on a true legal case?!!!! Wow! Great summation! "...This is your chance to preach the message: Adultery is wrong." 👍 It sure is! And a SIN. ✝️🙏 Thank you. Shared.💕💒😇
Good movie. All family values have gone down the drain now but this is a good movie based on a true story from the 90s. Impossible to accomplish now days.
Each time I see see this movie, left speechless by what Dot did, and the eventual outcome... Truly remarkable; she was so brave! Is it not better to shout the truth from the roof tops than to keep quiet about committed sin?
"With God nothing is impossible." We simply don't even think to TRY anymore to bring 'the seducer' to book! Who wants their sex life, or lack thereof, aired in a courtroom never mind on national TV?! Gutsy lady, Dot! Love her saying, "I devoted my entire life to my family. Why stop now?"💕👍👍👍 Hat off, Dot! So many adulterers and seducers get off scot-free, wearing their SIN like badges of honour while the wronged spouse has to endure the shame of a 'failed marriage'. If that ever happened to me, I know I'll not go to court, because I have a deep-rooted faith in God to 'bear my cross' in my Saviour's footsteps, but man, I'd be mad as all hell!!!😊 God save us all!🛐✝️🙏💒😇
I live in NC. We still have Alienation of Affection laws, and lawsuits like this one that are based on these laws. Marriage is a contract. Anyone who interferes and entices someone to break his or her marriage contract, should pay.
You cannot hang on to a fickle hearted one. Gotta let them go. Eventually perhaps they have regret but by then, only God really understands the whole of it. Thoughtful movie.
The husband has the balls to file a divorce but he has no balls to tell his children face to face! The nerve of that father!!! 😡. Dont set aside the children when getting a divorce they are the most affected... its not between you & I alone.
Yes, indeed... Maybe laws should be changed towards protecting children from predators like this woman? To grow up in an intact home has so many advantages; it should be considered as a child's right.
The husband DOESN'T have any COPPER balls 👁️ ,he couldn't face his. Children to tell the TRUTH 🎯 meanwhile his wife was a decent person but it was partially her fault because it seemed that she had given up their SEXUAL life after the children were born 👍
@@barbiebrowny7003 A cheating husband's testimony is not believable. He was the one neglecting his wife, since working as much, and it was him who withdrew from his wife, after he had been seduced by his secretary.
Proper boundaries should be maintained at all times. Discussing personal problems should for example be off-limits with co-workers of the opposite sex.
I'm surprised the wife didnt even had the hunch or felt there's something wrong with the actions/ routines her husband did. Maybe there are people who dont feel doubts or judgemental towards other people.
Ignorant and naive, and if there ever was a hunch, there's denial: Too painful to even go there in one's mind... Anyway, actions/routines divert slowly over time, and therefore are not as easily detected; unless one is suspicious by nature, and therefore spesifically on the look-out for signs. It's only in hindsight that one recognises all the tell-tale signs which should have been obvious.
If this movie is 100% true, it looked as though the kids knew something was up when the wonderful husband left his own surprise birthday party, and the kids walked away mad from the table. I pictured Dot, saying something like, Oh it's ok your daddy works hard, blah, blah, blah, blah. Wow. Dot seemed like quite the enabler. Not excusing the office tramp nor the husband, but Dot lived in complete denial.
Your husband worked late all the time, couldn't even stay for his own birthday party, told you he's leaving you and the kids and you didn't even think of cheating ? I guess staying at home for years can really make a person stupid.
I was very happily married for almost 40 yers, to a man I had married after meeting him for the second time. He was faithful and we adored each other, and we never spent any time apart, unless it was unavoidable, like when we had to go to work. Still, we would meet for lunch every day. ❤
@@daboys1215 you have got that right - I am not against marriage but it didn't work out for me but I have done ok. And I know several single women who have accomplished outstanding things in their lives an I admire them!
I fundamentally am against such extremes as long as financial obligations are full filed by a man it’s like you stop somebody good coming your way by clinging in to those who doesn’t want to be with you anymore who doesn’t suit you anymore that’s how I think and treat such situations
Infidelity at the workplace is very common. Everyone knows who is screwing who and their partner sits at home without a clue. Partner should be told by those in the know, I'm so sorry I never spilt my guts, I'm as guilty as everyone else. Couple having an affair at the office, had a car accident in the early hours of the morning, so the wife and husband did eventually find out. Today, I wish I told the innocent partners.
Whilst he was a cheating spineless dog , there are women who see the dollar worth of a man and go out of the way to get their hooks into them. Why shouldn't she hold some of the blame she knew he was married, and set her stall out.
There is no way she should have won anything.Her husband chose to have that affair,which said he didnt give dam for her at all,so he would have ended up with some one else anyway
The man was easily manipulated by a smooth-talking, eye-fluttering harlot. Scripture warns men about women like this: An adulteress will take, and destroy a man's whole life.
This is extremely childish. Sickening actually! People leave marriages for the other woman /man everyday!!! Lynn did not “steal” her husband…her husband was totally complicit in the affair and subsequent union!!!! She was living in la la land regarding her marriage which was emotionally unsatisfying for her husband, and truthfully for her too!! She was just to blind to see……..The laws of the red states are prehistoric! Conscious evolved people realize nirvana doesn’t last forever and people go different ways in life through personal transitions, whether the move is good or bad it’s part of life experience for some……….a million $$$$ ! Ridiculous! Stupid, Christian nationalist verdict! No one owns anyone!
It starts off with the secretary taking her husband to a pagan Christmas holiday party against his will. So she was a manipulative woman to begin with. Up to no good. She deserves what she gets. Or in this case, loses.
Marriage vows are supposed to be 'until death parts'; this especially towards securing protection and well-being of offspring. 'Devolving' would be a better description of a society destabilised by broken homes.
No, it's not. Most women going through similar circumstances would agree to thank her for insisting to hold the adulteress accountable. Would even be better could children from broken homes start suing the person - outside their home - who got involved with one of their parents.
Absolutely so great movie, building marriage is very heavy but after marriage divorce is completely destroy families, 😳
Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Great Movies though. 👍👌👏

Husband should never go with their secretary alone anywhere.

Well be serious
Yes, sb Common sense
Great movie 🩵 Thanks for sharing!
I sure wish co-workers had told Dot was going on, much earlier.
This story reminds me of Betty Broderick's case. Both betrayals ended in some form of karma and justice.
Good movie, thank you

Secretary didnt waste any time going after husband,and husband anit worth a crap and wife really dum not knowing he was cheating
From the beginning the husband was super-dumb to not immediately be aware how the woman was seducing him.
Just get a dog. 😂😂😂
What a great story
Great for Dot.Wow!
Her neighbor gave her a brilliant advice, hire a PI
It worked out well
Your husband worked late all the time, couldn't even stay for his own birthday party, told you he's leaving you and the kids and you didn't even think of cheating ? I guess staying at home for years can really make a person stupid.
Look how he’s enjoying the attention from his secretary
Just another reason not to get married in the first place.

I wonder if Canada has that law? If so, maybe my Mom could have tried the same thing back in 1980. Divorce with children involved is evil.
😂
Mistress 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Look how she’s pushing herself on the married man 😳

He’s always making mistakes and saying it
He has no professionalism

The man was easily manipulated by a smooth-talking, eye-fluttering harlot. Scripture warns men about women like this: An adulteress will take, and destroy a man's whole life.
Yes, probably, because there are many selfish women like this around - out on the prowl, with no respect for marriage vows or the welfare of others.
He lied and gaslit her. 😒
The secretary is so selfish
It’s just me me me
His children don’t count
OMG , the voice of wife is so annoying.
Well guess yours is just perfect, should people with voices that you don’t like just not speak
@@rtru9801No, with voices like that, they should not speak... at all.
😂 Yea, that American southern accent can be annoying.
I think Burk been cheating. 😂😂😂
Very sad because in the end the other woman has won.
Maybe not necessarily - has to live with some guilt and possibly kids don't really like her
