[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was so struck by the concept that some old dude literally killed himself for 8 months of sex. Now that’s some Karma.

Ginny is just one of those pathetic young girls who is too vapid to catch a quality guy and doesn’t have it in her to support herself so she gets pregnant by an older rich guy. Oops not oops.[/quote]
I was thinking the same thing. I’m Ginny’s age, and I’d lose a lot of respect for my friends if they did that.

Nick got what he deserved 🤷‍♀️[/quote]

The whole series shows him miserable with Ginny except when having sex.

He’s crying at the fire, he’s hiding in his bedroom, he threw away a perfect life sans sex for a more than miserable one with sex.

He even knows he made a mistake. He just can’t admit it. [/quote]

Wow, I didn’t interpret it this way at all (I never saw the original movie). I thought that Nick was clearly unhappy with Ann - yes of course after a long marriage there would he some regrets, and he still loved her, but he wasn’t in love with her nor happy with her. She really did seem a dud and in a rut. Nick also seemed genuinely happy with Ginny, more than just a midlife fling. I felt these sentiments were portrayed well by Steve Carrell. [/quote]

I agree that Nick was happy with Ginni and it wasn’t just the sex.  He and Anne seemed truly mismatched.  There was the reference that they were I no the same dorm and met then and just kind of never broke up.  I was struck by a couple things — first, he had no family at the vows renewal. Second there was the story about shopping for art and he tells Ann he wants whatever is classiest.  He seems like maybe he was a really smart fun guy but came from a not great background and didn’t really know who he was at a young age.  Anne represented some kind of stability and kindness and classiness and he glommed onto that.  Fast forward a couple of decades and it is clear they have nothing in common and are a bad fit.  But he has a kid and she’s a SWHM and he doesn’t want to blow that up.  He’s not perfect but I don’t think this is just midlife crisis.  They truly seem badly matched.  And she seemed like she seriously needed HRT.  [/quote]
Did he not have any family at the vow renewal? I know we saw Ann’s dad (who was in the original movie!) but there were lots of other people there. His daughter included. I assumed some of them were his fam[/quote]
