Laura is exactly what's wrong with women - The Mysteries of Laura (2014) Discussion

Jake has mended his old ways, I think the other guy is to perfect, it's like they wrote him to be younger, better looking and absolutely flawless just to highlight Jake's misdeeds. A younger adventurous chef with no kids of his own falling for a older divorced woman. Sure it does happen but you have to wonder why is he going this route with her.

You sound like you are not of a forgiving nature and also feel others should be as you. Some people do forgive and believe in giving second chances. Maybe you should take your bitter candies and serve them elsewhere.

cheating is one thing, but an affair is a whole other level.

"Jake has mended his old ways"

When was that ? Cheating is being dishonest. Lying about his health status is being dishonest. He is dishonest and I've seen nothing that shows he's changed.

I think Laura made a mistake dumping a nice guy like tony but I guess a part of her will always love jake.

Tony needed to go to Vegas to follow his bliss.

I don't agree with her decision either. I don't know how you would ever to be able to fully trust someone who would do that to you, but I guess she can't help that she still loves Jake.

And that's why I just removed it from my DVR series recordings. Jake is an *beep* and doesn't deserve a second chance.

Laura is a character on a TV show.

She's not what's wrong with women... she's what's wrong with TV show writers.

She's not what's wrong with women... she's what's wrong with TV show writers.

Except, in this case, women do this very kind of crap and sabotage their own happiness. They will choose "the bad boy" who repeatedly treats them like crap over "the good guy" who treats them well because he's "boring" (read: drama free).

Many people, men and women, need relationship drama to make them feel loved/wanted. And then they wonder why they are so unhappy.

I don't trust people who don't like pets and I don't trust people who pets don't like.

She didn't choose Jake because he's a bad boy. She chose him because they had a history together, they shared lots of very good memories (why else would she have married him?). There was deep love there. It wasn't a fling.

She didn't choose Jake because he's a bad boy.

I didn't say she did. Please refer back to the entire context of my replay, not just one sentence of it.

It takes more than a history, memories and "deep love" to make a relationship to work. Particularly when one partner has cheated on and continues to lie to the other partner.

why else would she have married him?

Considering she married him before they shared most of the "very good memories", it could be for any number of reasons. Considering people marry mere weeks, days or hours after meeting someone, I'm not sure "why else would she have married him" is a good qualifier of much.

It wasn't a fling.

Got that. The marriage, divorce and two kids make that abundantly clear.

I don't trust people who don't like pets and I don't trust people who pets don't like.

Tony is a good guy but he wasn't going to end up with her. That relationship had an expiration date, as most of the relationships where there is an age gap between the couple and the woman is older one of the two.. Time is unfair towards women. Time treats men in a more gentle way. That is unfair but true.

I liked the detective from the drugs department for Laura. He was sexy, age-appropriate and they could grow old together. He was also a cop (he could understand her job and support her)
