Spoilers to come.

Okay so at the end of the film what would happen next do you think?

I mean he has been ''waiting'' for her for four years, but he has been with that other woman. Is that situation just going to go away?

The other woman was his married neighbor that was pushing him to find a wife (remember her helping him to dress for a date?). He even told his ex-wife about her so it would have been a non-issue for him to just stop having sex with the neighbor.

Quit exhaling! You are contributing to global warming.

Erica (Jennifer Connelly) was living with another man for those four years, I don't think she cared that Bill (Greg Kinnear) was having sex with Tricia (Kristen Bell). And it's not like Bill wanted to be with Tricia; it was just sex as he was waiting for his wife to come back.

Both Bill and Erica recognize that they have both been unfaithful for a period during their relationship. And yet they have both waited and come back to each other - I think that shows that they will both forgive and move on.

I think we can easily assume that Tricia is out of the picture, that Martin is out of the picture, and they will be a "happy" family (or at least be a family) again.

I don't understand why either of them would want to get back together. He cheated on her and then it seemed out of spite, she cheated on him and then left him. If you recall, the daughter told her boyfriend about the night she saw her mother having sex with Martin on the beach. She said that Martin asked her what if Bill (her husband ) were to see them and she said she didn't care. That sounded pretty spiteful after supposedly forgiving him for his affair. The daughter had written a book and that story I believe was in it and I'm sure the father read it and would have recognized the story. So he would have known what his wife said about possibly being seem. In any event, having an affair after your spouse does sound pretty spiteful in its self. So I just don't understand why he would want her back especially after 4 years even though she waited for him for 6 months. There would be absolutely no trust left in the relationship so why bother? They would just eventually end up a very dysfunctional unhappy couple.
