K cheated on his wife?

We learn in the first film that he has a wife whom he dearly misses and still keeps tracks of. She is even the reason he retires from MIB. He "wakes up from coma after 35 years" and they are back together as if nothing has happened, showing that she hadn't moved on from him either.(they later break up, but that's besides the point)

Then in this movie we find out that he fell in love with an alien in 1978 and even impregnated her?

He went through a phase where he caught the Zarthan fever and lost his feelings for his wife?

Am I the only one who found this too ridiculous and out of place, even if it's a movie with talking dogs and ballchinians?

So I just watched MIB 3 and there was also Agent O??

The writers seem forced to give him a love interest in every movie.

Once he joined the MiB, he couldn't have contact with his wife. It's not cheating if you aren't involved with the person anymore.

It gets worse, in the third movie he had another love interest

They weren't married. She never married until K came out of his coma.

Do we have conclusive proof that K fathered Laura? I thought Lauranna brought the light with her when she came to earth.

As an agent, he had to completely give up his old life. Like he said in the first movie, "No one will know you exist. Ever."

It was my understanding that she wasn't his wife until later. She was the girl he was going to give the flowers to as a young man. They never married. Then J uses the Neurolyzer on him and he finds her again and then they finally get married. We hear she left him in MIB2.

If you found this one ridiculous, you should see MIB3. Oh, I just looked, and yes, you did see it.

Thing is in MIB3, they not only gave him another "love of his life," but they gave him a whole different character. In the first one, he doesn't sit around listening to old-time Country "cowboy music." He was into Rock 'n' Roll. When he put the pedal to the metal, he threw in an 8 track of Elvis, and a song written by Chuck Berry, "Promised Land." They had him absolutely humorless, whereas he obviously had a bit of a sense of humor in the first and second movies -- just really, really dry.

MIB3 was so frustrating for me, because it was as if they hadn't even watched their own series.

Bringing back Tommy Lee Jones was a mistake. I really wish Lara Flynn Boyle who played Sarleena could've come back. Even though she couldn't they could've just had him team up with another agent who isn't Tommy Lee Jones' character. It really was dumb seeing him come back being all ignorant since of course they'd wiped his memory of his MIB career. It really made me hate the movie. I liked the 3rd one though.
