[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t think of a better phrasing so hopefully someone will get what I’m grasping for, but this is all Michael Bay-style is cinematic, from affair to discovery to recovery. The best therapy couple ever, the BFF who is painfully honest but says “if you have any fight in you…,” the BFF couple potentially getting to see the marriage of OP at their best since they’ve (clearly?) been suffering themselves (hm) at seeing the worst, the emotional nature of a DH who self-sacrifices in a particularly stoic manner because he “wants to give DW the world,” which is clearly a little much but maybe also the dream. It’s just very dramatic in a peculiarly immature way and is to me, strange and counterproductive.

The woman upthread who notes couples can’t A-plus their way out of the real has true insight.[/quote]

Not sure if this is what you're going for, but the OP's posts have consistently seemed far too well-written for someone in this position - from start to finish.  Don't get me started on the cozy ramen date where they shared a bowl.

It's like there's just enough imperfection to seem believable, but ultimately reads like fiction.  [/quote]

It all reads as consciously scripted, with jaw-dropping emotional shallowness. He’s so perfect but cared too much while engaging in his many manly acts of stoicism. They were best friends but best lovers and best friends and best parents too. She can’t look at her in laws the same way again (this is the actual meat of the story) because their talk sessions have been so mind blowing like the sex, and isn’t it so unfair the effed-up in-laws never fixed themselves, setting this all in motion?

That last thing is a real through line on DCUM: the betrayed wife is often angriest at her in-laws, who are the only party who are never but never forgiven, because therapy, hysterical bonding, and sweetly holding hands and recommitting confirms to them that MIL and FIL’s imperfect parenting is what caused the husband to cheat. They were at fault most of all! It’s always wrapped up in this particular bow. [/quote]
