No sympathy for Linda ... possible spoiler

I understand the premise of the story but let's be real. Linda (Charisma Carpenter) says she loves her husband, she has a young son whom she loves very much, and apparently her marriage has hit a little bump in the road. What marriage hasn't experienced one problem or another at some time? Sensible couples talk about it and try to resolve the problem together.

So she takes the advice of a therapist to have an affair? She expects "that" to improve their marriage? How stupid can this character be? Right off the bat, she tells her therapist that she's not comfortable cheating on her husband and for good reason. If you're uncomfortable doing something you know is wrong, let alone immoral and a violation of the love and trust between you and your husband, then the answer is simple. Don't do it!

The therapist tries to convince her by using her self-righteous, pseudo intellectual, reasoning. What a load of crap! I can understand the other women buying her line of BS; one is nuts and the other a slut with absolutely no morals.

In further stupidity, after the issues with her husband are resolved, she meets the guy whom she's having an affair with again in a motel room when there was a very probable possibility of her affair being revealed. How about telling him on the phone when he called that it was over between them or meeting somewhere more public if her intent was to call it off? It was plainly evident by the way she behaved, as soon as she walked into the motel room, that her initial intent was a desire to continue on with the affair. Also, just previous to his call, she was wearing her wedding ring. When she arrived at the motel room she wasn't wearing it. After leaving him at the motel and in her car as she pulls into her garage, she's wearing her wedding ring again. It was revealed in previous scenes that she was in the habit of removing it when meeting him for their trysts. So why remove her wedding ring if she intended to break off the affair? Obviously that wasn't her initial intent even after her relationship with her husband had been resolved and she supposedly loved him. The beginning of the scene in the motel room made it very evident that she arrived there with every intention to continue the affair.

She finally asks the detective to keep her affair in confidence because if her husband found out she would lose everything. Maybe she should have thought of that before having the affair. I had no sympathy for the others and absolutely none for her. The suggested outcome between her and her husband at the end was completely ridiculous. She deserved no less than the outcome experienced by her lawyer friend. In my opinion, after everything that had happened, her husband was even more of an idiot than her. He wasn't even smart enough to connect the dots early on between his wife's therapist, wife's lawyer friend and his wife. Anyone else would have been suspicious and at least asked her some uncomfortable questions. The only character who acted anywhere near believably, though little was shown or mentioned of him, was the attorney's husband.
