That is just the norm anymore.

Yeah, I know! She basically gets pissed at him cause he was upset. Like he was in the wrong. Well, OF COURSE he was upset! She should've spent the rest of the movie trying to win his trust back.. not the other way around.
shareYeah, except she didn't cheat on Walter. Max got Anna sloppy drunk after dinner, and told her the next morning that they not only had sex, but it was so wild the police came. Anna remembers nothing of the evening but believes Max. Of course, this turns out to be a fabrication by Max in order to break Walter and Anna up so he could get back with her. Later, the tiny bit of conscience he possesses causes him to fess up when he realizes how miserable Anna is.
shareThe fact that she truly did not cheat is absolutely irrelevant. As far as she knew she DID cheat on him.
And one more thing to keep in mind is that whatever happened she did willingly get drunk with Max and she did sleep in his bed. All of that even without sex is inappropriate if you're in a relationship with someone else--I'd love to hear anyone say that they would be fine with their spouse or significant other getting plowed and spending the night with their ex, in the ex's bed even if sex didn't occur. I don't think most people would be okay with that.

A: She did NOT voluntarily sleep in his bed. Nor did she agree to get drunk with him. She agreed to have dinner/drinks with him, and likely due to her current in-debt state, gratefully accepted a few too many free drinks - that doesn't make the action right, but your statement of facts isn't remotely accurate. At no point, in the story, does she ever agree to sleep in his bed (nor does Max ever SAY she agreed to it) or even get drunk with him. She agreed to have a meal and a few drinks, nothing else. Obviously she was wrong for letting herself get that drunk, but considering how depressive their situation was at the time, it's not that surprising. You might as well argue that a woman too drunk to consent to sex, consented to it, just by drinking in the first place. Waking up in a bed does not constitute agreeing to sleep in it.
B: To the ops misguided point... She does NOT get pissed at him, because he's pissed that she cheated. She gets pissed, because he INSISTS that if she did make a mistake, he'd rather she admitted it, and they can discuss it rationally and move past it together. He practically harangues her, to confess if something happened, and not to leave him unaware of the truth. And THEN, when she does admit it, he turns into a raving lunatic, calling her a whore in similar fashion to the way the OP misogynistically accuses her of being one, because he thinks he's in a position to judge a single poor choice. He doesn't discuss it rationally, he doesn't even discuss forgiveness or working through it, he turns into a knuckle-dragging douche bag, calling her names and accusing her of even more than she did admit to, in a fit of moral superiority, that he SPECIFICALLY promised her he WOULDN'T engage in. And then, in front of others, he openly calls her a slut and a drunk, without the slightest concern for how juvenile it is (though she certainly gets as juvenile as he does, in that sparring match)
That's why she's pissed, and why they end up separated - not because she cheated, but because when he asks her to be honest and an adult about it, he acts like a petulant child. That's why the resolution begins when he says he doesn't care she cheated - though I'm sure it would've been resolved by him simply apologizing for being the hypocrite he was, during that fight.
The less a man makes declarative statements the less apt he is to look foolish in retrospect.
I forgot about this post. It has been forever but I will respond anyway...

Or at least work on not misquoting people.

Yes but PLEASE. If your husband or wife or boyfriend or girlfriend said to you "I have to tell you something but you have to promise not to get mad" and you promise then they tell you they banged someone else...you're telling me that you would NOT be mad because you promised not to? That's silly! And, once again, regardless of whether she did or did not f v c k Max in the end, she believed that she did and she told Walter that she did. He never even knew that she didn't until after all was said and done. It was even worse of her to not tell him the truth once she discovered it never actually happened. She's a raging biotch and most people would feel completely differently about it had the situations been reversed.
It wasn't me who was murdered, was it?
She didn't cheat on him. She thought she cheated on him, but she found out that her ex-husband was lying to her in a desperate attempt to get her back.
But I do agree that she was out of line for playing the victim when they both thought that she cheated on him. Instead of pouting, sulking, and throwing a temper tantrum, she should have apologized for lying to him as well as cheating on him ... since she was under the impression that she had, in fact, cheated on him.
She did not cheat. The guy lied about it. When she thought she cheated her behavior was disgusting. I don't understand how she could have acted as if he was the bad guy.
