Kenneth amazingly manipulative...(SPOIL ERS)
I find it truly amazing with the lengths Kenneth went to to manipulate Savannah into having/continuing the adulterous relationship with him. He spends much time trying to convince her that he truly loves her and that he really wants to marry her. What really blew my mind is all the calls to her mother. These were obviously intended to really convince her that he was sincere in the things he was telling her, all the stories, all the excuses, even when she heard conflicting information from other people or in conversations she overheard.
When Robin told Savannah her story, it really made her start to think seriously about what she was doing, what she wanted and and caused her to really listen to the words that were coming out of his mouth, both when he spoke to her and when he spoke to his wife on the phone. It was pretty clear that he was nowhere near ready to leave his wife and daughter, and realizing this, she was not comfortable filling the role of "other woman". She wanted to be the wife, and she realized she would rather be alone if she could not have a man for herself alone.
Then to have Kenneth call up her mother and cry on the phone? I was laughing when her mom called and said, "He's a good man, he's just in a bad situation!" For her mother to be either 1) fooled by Kenneth or 2) so desperate for Savannah not to be alone that she has rationalized that Kenneth is not as bad as he obviously really is, is funny/sad. I was pleased to see Savannah set her mother straight and reassure her that she would not only be okay on her own, but she could be happy. Kenneth should cry, he will no longer get to have his cake...and eat it too.
To each their own...opinion
