[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I binged it but to fair feel like I feel for Steve Carell's character based on my own marriage. When Anne wouldn't try to get back on the boat it gave me the same "ick" I get in my own marriage when I have to handle emotional stuff for my husband because he is overly anxious. [/quote]

I also appreciate that sentiment in a long marriage, but grownups know those are temp feelings and the ties and bonds you’ve made building a life and family with one person far outweigh the little irritations. But Nick was too immature to see he had a wonderful, kind, devoted wife and family and friend group, and he blew it all up for temporary ‘fun’ with a sweet but somewhat empty younger woman, and for things like trying to rock climb onto a beach, where he ended up crying and screaming in pain.

I’m very curious about how truly happy he was about that baby. He did pick up a hat in the grocery store that said ‘happy new year, BABY’ and smiled.

But he also wrecked his car in a single car accident while sober on the way home. Was it an accident? Did he have a heart attack? [/quote]

Wait, did he know about the baby?  Did we see her tell him?  I didn’t remember that. I thought he was just hiding up in his room because he maybe didn’t like her friends that much. (Did folks notice he was now playing the same iPad game he faulted Ann for?  Oh the humanity.)

Was someone earlier wondering about his provisions for the baby in his will?  Yeah, I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️ [/quote]

I don’t think he knew about the baby.  He initially bought wine not cider for the NYE party and just didn’t seem like he was aware.  I’m the one who raised the cryptic comment about the legal issue.  I’d guess his initial will when he was married to Anne maybe provided for after born children of them jointly but probably not written to apply to after born extramarital children.  And when he got divorced he probably re wrote his will to just name his daughter since he’d already given the house and potentially other assets to Anne.   So I think it’s highly unlikely there is any provision for Ginni’s baby.  And that their happy “we are all a chosen family” vibe will fall apart when Anne is faced with the choice of giving up some of her own child’s inheritance for this other baby.  I mean maybe she’ll give ginni somethkng….but do we really think this baby will get half, out of the kindness of their hearts?  I don’t even know if the baby gets social security death benefits if parent died before birth and they were never married.  In short, I think Ginni is scrwed financially.[/quote]

I really don’t think he even knew about the baby, either. The new years thing said baby but he meant it for Ginny. There has been NO indication he knew, either from his actions to Ginny or what he said to his friends, or even his emotional behavior — he would be going through some emotional stuff probably. We don’t see that except his disaffection for Ginny’s friends.

I just don’t think he knew. [/quote]

What happened in the original? Maybe that's a clue[/quote]

The original was much more compressed because it was a 2-hour feature film. The theme of "The Four Seasons" of the friendship is illustrated by trips or get together in each of the four seasons.  So, in the summer, they are all on a sailboat and everyone hears Nick and Ginni having sex.   Later in the "winter" scene, Ginni gets pissed after the women make nasty remarks to her, so she leaves their ski cabin and walks out in the woods by herself.  Nick is very upset and runs after her. When they ask why he is so pissed he tells everyone that Ginni is pregnant.

As I recall they never showed how Nick found out about the pregnancy.  [/quote]
