[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meaning I temporarily lost my mind when I fell in love with another man, while married with two very young children. Subsequently, I lost my family due to divorce, alternating custody schedules, and ongoing trauma due to constantly having to interface with one another after what I did to him, and to us, and to our kids. The most painful part of this gripping Ingmar Bergmann-inspired series is when Mira says "I want what I used to have." Of course, she does. And she cannot ever have it, again.

Word to the wise, you very busy, hardworking, frustrated, irritated-with-your spouse, fighting over shores, lusty 30/40/50 somethings with families: if you go down this path, everything that truly matters to you will become shattered in such a way that it cannot ever be repaired. It can be swept up in a dustpan, along with the dog fur and dirt from outside, and somewhat reconfigured. [b]The harmful aftermath of allowing yourself the indulgence of passionate sex, feeling appreciated, and the joyful insanity of falling in love is irreparable. [/b]

This series really hit home in an extremely uncomfortable way, for me. Anyone else catch it? What did you think of the ending?

Mira, but with MUCH less glam clothing[/quote]

See bolded :roll:   Grow up.  You were in lust, not love.  And you sound like an immature teenager writing that.  Still playing the victim.  We should all feel sorry for you.  WAHHHwahhhhh[/quote]

You should seek therapy for whatever causes so much pain. This is an over the top response to someone sharing their experience and it has triggered you. Find out why. [/quote]

Actually, scolding someone for an honest reaction to what really was a self-centered post and telling them to seek therapy or that they were "triggered" is the over-the-top response.

The "woe is me" element of the OP is very strong and overly dramatic. I get that she is comparing her life to a work of fiction -- a drama, no less. But, it's wholly banal and not worthy of the histrionics.[/quote]

Good lord, so many triggered men? on this chain. Thank you OP for sharing your pain--I was almost you/Mira.[/quote]

Triggered people, in general, because betrayal and regret are the opposite of love and joy. Well, it's really a modernized story originally illustrated by Ingmar Bergman. It's the story of mistakes and regret- you are right in that adultery, however it comes to pass, is a banal marital commonality. But to each individual family, it's much, much more, and can become the central life-changing regret of their lives. OP is not saying WOE is me, she is saying Mira captured the sadness of being in this situation. You did not read the post very carefully.
