Maybe because they don't necessarily feel the wife is a "slut"? People (male and female) are complex, and do things others may consider wrong for any number of reasons. Life isn't as black and white as you seem to want it to be. Besides, how interesting would it be if every movie was about Mother Teresa or Hildegard of Bingen?

Terrific. The only thing I needed to make this movie more depressing was being reminded the Madonna-whore syndrome is still perpetuated by men like the OP.

Well I would consider cheating on your spouse wrong. Get a divorce then a boyfriend. Unless you agree to open marriage. Give him a chance to cheat also.

With all the things she did,she was still forgiven. If you abandon your child for a man can you say you love that child.

I don't believe Stella was a slut wife. She was clearly unhappy with her very emotionally distant husband. She didn't care much for the conservative, stuffy staff and their spouses, nor did they like or approve of Stella. On top of all that, I think Stella had an emotional/mental illness herself; perhaps borderline personality disorder. That possible illness would account for Stella leaving Charlie behind.

I completely agree with you. Stella was a strong independent woman. Her husband was not good in bed. So, the situation forced her to cheat. It was her weak husban's fault.

reply

Yes. Easy solution. Why expect a Woman to take responsibility for her crime when you can just blame Men instead. Popular fad lately!

I don't know... There's something naughty about a bored 50's housewife finally getting some. I notice that they do this often if it's set in the past.
