The plot is difficult to believe...spoilers


Why the premise of this movie doesn't work. When a spouse cheats there is a loss of trust and suspicion is always lurking around the corner so a husband who caught his wife cheating:

1. Wouldn't stand for his wife not wearing her wedding ring for any reason.
2. Would be immediately suspicious of unusual phone calls.
3. Would catch on pretty quickly when the wife has a habit of always being late to meet him.
4. Would be immediately suspicious of her constant refusal/excuses not to make love.
5. Would not take his wife back after being caught a second time having an affair.

Why the wife was never convincing that she had truly changed:

1. She never put her wedding ring back on until the end when she was 3 months pregnant.
2. She only made love to her husband to get back at her lover and then again when she wanted her husband back.
3. She blames her father and mother for her infidelity but never accepts her own responsibility.
4. She breaks off her affair but rather than doing it on the phone, she goes to see her lover in person.
5. She's a habitual cheater, liar, and manipulator with a penchant for twisting the truth to justify her behavour.
