Hard to sympathize with her

Why wasn't she honest with him? She's an unemployed museum curator looking for a job. She gets an interview for a job in New York but doesn't tell her fiancé. Why not? It's lying by omission. Wasn't her employment plans ever discussed prior to getting engaged? Doesn't he deserve to know she's interviewing for a job in New York? Maybe she didn't think she would get the job but interviewing for it opens the possibility. He deserves to know; especially since interviewing for it means you are yourself open to accepting it and moving. If not then what's the point? What was she thinking if she actually got the job? Did she think that he would just pick up and follow her to New York? That's a pretty good reason to tell him and discuss it with him prior to the interview. Not doing so is not the way to start a marriage; especially with kids involved. Didn't she even consider their feelings?

After the interview, she had plenty of time to tell him about it but never said anything. Instead, she says nothing until she's offered the job. She doesn't decline it right away. She instead decides only then to tell her fiancé. Now she has to come clean and not only tell him about the job offer but explain why she didn't tell him about it prior to interviewing. When he gets upset about her lying she gets defensive saying she's telling him now and she wants him to come to New York with her. What about the kids? Such a big and important decision, one that requires moving across country, is something that should be discussed prior with everyone involved.

Her whole argument for accepting the job revolves around me, me, me; a very poor attitude to have considering their are so many others involved. I really couldn't blame him for walking away. She complains that he should be more understanding but how could he when she lied and never bothered to discuss her plans with him prior and just drops it on him out of the blue?

When asked if she considered staying and not taking the job, she said she did but it's good money and she would never have to worry anymore. What about her pending marriage? Shouldn't her love for her fiancé and his financial stability satisfy that argument? I guess not since it's really about me, me, me. That's the decision she makes in accepting the job and turning her back on her fiancé.

It's hard to sympathize with her considering how she broke the heart of her fiancé and his kids (her kids too for that matter) with her dishonest and selfish behavior. Of course though it's a Hallmark movie so you know it's going to have a happy ending. It was just annoying that after all was said and done, her fiancé was the one who had to decide unnecessarily to give in and she never even bothered to apologize or give even the smallest expression of regret for her dishonesty and selfishness.

I enjoy Hallmark movies and am a pushover for happy endings. I have to say that I've grown accustom to Hallmark overlooking, I guess, what they consider minor details as in this in a hurried effort to resolve whatever conflict might exist.
