Who Would Cheat On These People?


I agree with the other people that this was an elegant, subtle, sensitively crafted piece of film making. But for me it never really took off because it lacked a major level of believability. I simply could not believe that anyone would cheat on these two people. They were both gorgeous, loyal, thoughtful, attentive and with sweet dispositions. (Plus they were both cool dressers with great hairstyles.) Who in their right mind would ever turn their backs on them and cheat with someone else?! The whole premise of the film collapsed for me.

I haven't watched the movie, but I'll say people cheat because they're a mixture of things: insecure, narcissistic and selfish.

I was raised in a great household with Great, almost perfect parents who showed me what it looks like to really have a lasting/loving special bond/marriage... So I really took hold of these things and implemented them into my own life. I'm by no means perfect, however women have been very attracted to me for the fact that I have strong values, want a one love and sacred relationship and i'm blessed with really good looks... Honestly not trying to be vain, just making a point. (I'm not to insecure to know I'm attractive and be greatful) I have many flaws.. OBVIOUSLY... But I just got cheated on by my G.F and the first woman I've ever been in love with, after being together a year.. She had a troubled past. But I know she really was and is in love with me and she was attracted to all the things I mentioned above... We were best friends and the chemistry between us was amazing. WHY did she cheat on me? I asked myself this over and over again on sleepless nights after breaking it off... I couldn't figure it out.. Then I realized... It wasn't about me. It was about her, it's always been about her.. It gave me peace to come to the conclusion that she is like everyone else, messed up and human. She would have told you that she loved me unlike anyone before and that she was happier then she ever had been.. This would have been true.. But she still ruined it.. WHY? A number of complex emotional/psychological problems, and past baggage. Leading to an irrational/incomprehensible mistake... It doesn't always make perfect sense, and as humans we rarely do.

HA! The old saying goes, "For every extremely gorgeous and beautiful woman you see out there, there is a guy tired of fu*king her. "

If the criteria for not cheating were good looks and cool clothes, Hollywood actors would all be married once and forever. We all know how that goes.
