So the Scorned Woman is the One in the Wrong
I'm not sure if it mirrors reality well, but from the moment that the pregnant girlfriend called the wife a bitch for outing her everyone seemed to be blaming Dr. Foster. So basically, because she worked hard to support her husband, who wasn't working as hard as he pretended to be because he was screwing someone else, she's the bad guy? Because people are intimidated by her (which has more to do with their self esteem than anything else) she's the one that is in the wrong?
In the end she got a little bit of relief, but not enough. I suppose it would have been too much for the girlfriend to wise up to the fact that her married boyfriend just beat his wife because she discovered that he'd been screwing her over for two years? Or see about three years down the line when he's done the same thing to her.
Schiznik, I know it's just a television show, but it makes me so mad. I guess that's good writing & acting then.
(I really do wish they had wrapped up the old doctor's story a bit though).
