Anyone come from tiktok? 😂
MEEEE
Yuuppp
😂😂cause I'm here from tiktok.....
Yes, thanks to that person who gave us the timestamp and the name of the movie 😂
Lol minute 13:20 🤭
I felt so much for the wife and children. The wife even went to the extent of begging him to come back but he told her he doesn't love her anymore. I love what happened to George at the end when he felt betrayed by his mistress. One lesson I learned here is that people should appreciate what they have and try and fix their relationships. George was feeling inadequate and he unconsciously falls into the arms of a younger woman; yet she didn't bring him the satisfaction he needed. He had a nice, beautiful and supportive wife but he failed to appreciate her. In summary, the Bible says that the devil is prowling about and looking for who he may destroy. People need to be very careful in their actions and decisions.
you are right !
Absolutely! Amen. But "unconsciously"??? Nah, it was conscious and premeditated and cowardly!
God is so gracious.🛐✝️💒🌹
I would agree with everything you said. In life, we reap what we sow.🙏⛪️ The grass is not greener on the other side. Most people don't pick up on that until it's too late.
@Our Savior 😢🛐Amen. Prayed. Hugs and prayers. Will be praying some more for you both during the Lenten Stations and daily Mass. (Any children? Though they might well be grown and away from home, still ...) 😢God bless you all. 💕✝️🙏
@Our Savior 😢🙏💕Praying. Much love and prayers to you all, dear brother-in-Jesus. ✝️P.s. It's by the very grace of God Almighty that mine has lasted these 28 years and counting! We even almost separated earlier this month!!! Prayer: daily Rosary, the Mass, Confession and Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, etc, have been our refuge and strength. Mother Mary has been more than faithful. Our three are adults, but thankfully (thanks to my husband mainly) live at home. Also a long story. 🙂💕🛐✝️💒
This movie just reinforced something I needed.
If they leave their wives/ girlfriends for you, they'll compare you to them and make you feel insignificant. You'll live in a house where you feel inferior
Ikr, such a pathetic. So many men are like that
Find your own man! Try that
@@tinahays4464 it's more "the men should stick to their choices "
@ wendy. How backward and cruel... It is the man leaving and you try and make the other woman feel guilty. It's sick.
I'm so glad you learned the lesson before you. Stay strong, expect more yourself, be kind & respectful, do the right thing, & fight the good fight💜🙏💐never forget the lesson this movie taught you. Make room for your own good man who finds you & loves you, for who you are, not because he leaves his family, searching for something he already had.
Older men and their midlife crisis…..seriously? Everything that went wrong was his fault, and yet he learned nothing, still acting like a child and blaming everyone else for his bad decisions. I sure hope she didn’t let him come back into their lives, because he’ll never change.
Totally!
It was directed by a woman so I don't know what to tell you.
Oh men and their mid-life crisis and he decided to leave his beautiful wife for another woman? Unbelievable
I went to high school with Mary! Great actress !!!!!
We all need mom's love ❤ no matter how old we are. Thanks to grandma
Oh god please don’t beg… When you beg…the more they get turned off… When you love someone… don’t give them 100 percent of yourself.. leave some love to yourself … so when push comes to shove.. you have enough to pick yourself up. Great movie ❤
So glad you liked the movie, Lana. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yep: love yourself first, so that you know how to love others.
P eople don't know how to love themselves first:
Her mother was so supportive
He should have lost his position as Principal. The rumors alone would have been damaging to the school.
I most definitely agree with you 💯
The husband is the PERFECT example of a narcissist. Textbook.
Is he??? Hmmm... Narcissistic abuse is him allowing his wife and family to be happy and healthy for all the years up to his oldest teenage sons age, no smear campaign against the wife for all those years and probably beyond, no child abuse, no triangulation, no gaslight, no splitting the kids up into golden child vs scapegoat, etc etc. He just cheats eventually and does the trite stupid mistakes many cheaters make but that's what a narcissist is...... I and all real victims of actual narcissistic abusers wish this is what narcissistic abuse was. We wish but if wishes were horses beggars would ride.
Nailed it!!
100% agree! We can learn from such movies!
If only we could all be as pretty as the grandma,.
Yeah, she's the lead actress from Alfred Hitchcock's movie Birds.
@@Rory-bt5cdAnd Marnie
Heart warming drama full of true life style all leading to the temptation of the evil one BUT GOD ALWAYS HAVE A BETTER PLAN FOR EACH OF US HUMANS SOCIETY HE NEVER LEAVES US OR FORSAKE US GOD IS GREAT BLESS US JESUS LOVES US CARES UNCONDITIONALLY AMEN AMEN
🙏Indeed! "I take no pleasure in the death of a sinner," God assures us. "Come back to Me with all your heart." And, "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as wool." "My mercy is greater than your sin."
🛐✝️💒Thank You, Lord Jesus.
Happy LENT!🌹✝️
I wish I had such a mother like this woman has. ❤
You know why I think spouses have affairs? It’s because they don’t want to put forth effort and expect perfection. When their marriage starts off happy and/or exciting they stay faithful but once a routine sets in or they have problems, they get it in their head that they need something different rather than trying to work through the marriage issues and find a solution. They don’t believe that a marriage should be hard or that you have to fight to make it work. They don’t want to take the good with the bad. They can’t accept that love is something that requires effort and sacrifice. They think love and marriage should be perfect but newsflash it’s not. It never has been and it never will be.
Rose.... exactly.... brilliant.... you shld be a therapist.... you have the Truth sweetheart ;
May God bless you and your family and give insight to YOU to help others with yr Wisdom:
@@fritula6200 Thank you but really I’m no expert. I’ve never even been in love.
@@fritula6200But I have watched my parents and listened to their love story. They met when they were 12 to 14 and had endured so much. When through arguments and break ups only to make up and find their way back to each other again. And they’re still happily married to this day.
As a 30y.o who has never been in a legitimate relationship, I can 100 % attest to this. I have seen this over and over again. It’s such a shame.
Please. They cheat from the beginning.
After 25 years my husband abandoned our disabled son and me. He never looked back, never called to ask about our son. He's living high on the hog and we're getting our power shut off. I don't even know who he was anymore. Hard movie to watch but atleast the guy in the movie knew he was wrong.
Sorry for your situation. I hope you manage to stay strong. I wish you all the best. Your son got the best person in his life. To you from me in Hertfordshire UK.
@@rosiebeardshaw658 Thank you for your kind comment. Hugs ❤ 🫂
I hope the best for you and your son. Your husband never deserved you. This stranger’s rooting for you ❤
@@Bea56601 Thank you for your kind words. Sadly we've been stranded for a whole month with a broken car and lots if snow. Begging him through text to get us groceries but he won't even answer us. Hard to understand how a person can change to such evil . ty again. Hugs
That hurts my heart dear Sandie. I hope your heart will heal and remember he is it not worth! He probably was a damn Narc. Dry your tears, brush off and say Yes I am free and I love myself ❤xoxo
Dude is the KING of gaslighting! Wow! 😂
P68m
If narcissists was a human it’ll be him and my so called best friend
The Mum was amazing, I don't think I'd ever be that forgiving. If things had worked out well with him and his younger woman I bet he wouldn't have been there for his kids like they were for him.
Right on Sally H 1⚘⚘
Yep !! Sally:
Want my cake AND eat it!!
I found it odd that the daughter gave her mother lingerie for the parents' anniversary.
Me too. Felt she was too young to be thinking along those lines. Guess she knew something was up with her dad and the other lady since they are all in school and she wanted to spice up her parents marriage
you know who that little girl has looks of..Clint Black..her smile even..his real daughter looks just like her too..
The daughter gave her mum the top because she knew what her daddy dear was doing with her teacher East to work out
Wrong... yep: perfume is better.
Same with me.
Incredible movie...phenomenal story...very touching...loved it...thank you for the upload
You're welcome, Shanaaz. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awww, her mother was really sweet 🥰
I will never understand why people cheat and lead a double life. If you’re attracted to another and acted on it, then leave your partner immediately, it’s over already. Why pretend for months, years? You could get what you want and your partner, even though scared, will be spared more with a clean cut, not lied to and misled like a fool wasting their life on you.
I’ve lived it many times and I still don’t understand why they do it. I even tell them when we first start dating if there’s ever a time to where you just don’t feel the love anymore or I’m not giving you the love & attention you deserve please just tell me and if you want we can try to work it out and after some time if no changes then walk away. I could still respect you for being a true lady and telling me your true feelings and if anything I’d even be open to discussing a second chance if they ever decided to try and come back, but no they always seem to choose the most cruel way by just ghosting you & leave you wondering what the hell just happened. It just paints the ugliest picture of them & I immediately lose all respect and my heart closes forever with that person. It still amazes me how someone can spend years, decades with you, not missing one day of interacting with one another and suddenly vanish. I know now that life is one big test and the people that come in and out of our lives are just lessons, not everyone that comes in our lives are meant forever, some are just for a season and we have to be thankful for the memories each person gives us and realize that each one that comes in is helping us grow and shapes us into the people we were meant to be.
I think some cheaters stay married for the kids, some because they don’t want the stigma of divorce, and some for the financial aspect of separating a household and having to make it alone..there are multiple reasons why someone wants to stay married.. what baffles me is when the victim stays with the cheating spouse, over and over and over again, subjecting themselves to the invalidation of knowing their spouse will always choose someone else over them 😓 ..emotional abuse at its finest
He seriously crossed the line when he took the dog from those poor kids. That was unforgivable
You've GOT to be kidding! That's your takeaway from this?! It's his dog, too. The line was crossed when the a$$hole CHEATED on his wife!
💯 % agree. If this is based on a real story, I would like to know in this instance how the kids are doing without their dad around and their mom moving on to better things and relationships. If this is just written as a story to let us, (the veiwers) decide on our own how we think and want it to end. It is such a heartwarming story that portrays how ones life can be upended when one person in a relationship chooses to give into temptation and betray the other without at least trying to be the person they were when they started the relationship. Too bad that she, much like many women, chose to pretend it wasn't happening even though she knew the truth. God Bless everyone, my prayers always include all the people in this world, and I wish nothing than the best for them.
Don't watch unless you are ready for a rollercoaster of emotion 🙏🔥👏💐
I’m not even half way in and I’m so mad I hate a cheater
I really don’t know what to say. In real life, we witnessed many stories about the husband or the wife, who was not in love with his or her spouse anymore, and they didn’t put the children at first. However, the ending is often sad than happy. I just wish that people could hold their promises a little tighter and did not give up too quickly, and think of their children first.
Thank you so much! 👍💕
Lots of folks have children way too soon, think they should be together at least ten years before that,.make sure they have stability..
Two people make a marriage, not one! If only we had control over the choices of others, right?
Tippi Hedren was 69 years old in this movie! She looks even more beautiful than when she was in her 20's!
Really? she looks more like the sister than the mom!
With Tippi Hedren in this movie, I like how it starts off with a flock of seagulls all over the ocean, as a way to pay some sort of tribute to one of her iconic roles of her career- Melanie Daniels in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds".
Cool observation, Chris!
@chrisfinch 😊 So glad you commented on her role in one of the greatest Hitchcock movies of all time. Tippi played her role brilliantly. Between her and the feathered creatures the suspense was off the charts 🫣👌😲😀
I thought the same thing BUT I started getting a panic attack, lol.
My ex hurt myself and my kids so much that the impact of his presence will be felt forever unfortunately so I genuinely can’t relate to her forgiveness. Everyone’s journey is different I suppose. I’m extremely happy with my family and friends.
People think the grass is always greener on the other side. I know by experience it's not.
Yep!
It's burnt grass, nobody waters it:
My mom's pastor says it's greener on the other side because that's where the septic tank is. 😂
Precious and memorable! I cried. You were all beautiful and the cross for Trish was wonderful. Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Came here from the Shaliene interview on tiktok 😅
Welcome to all Shailene tiktok fans!
Very good movie!!! Heart wrenching! Great cast and I like that the doctor was helpful and respectful of the situation and showed great patience.
So glad you liked it!
Infidelity is so hurtful and destroys the whole family. When all the kids went around her when it was found out brought a lot of memories. As they all stood by me. They haven’t seen her in over a decade nor any of the grandchildren now. So destructive
did you do infidelity? that's so sad
@@KimAhrina11 lol yeah right.
She's too good for him! Once a cheater, always a cheater!
That blue paint certainly goes a long way! 🤣
I was thinking the same thing, in reality it wouldhave only ladted one ortwo footprints! That was silly
This is a sad story but has joy and happiness as well.divorce and any broken relationship is never easy. The grass isnt always greener on the other side of the fence. Forgiveness and love and trust must be at the core of every relationship.,but mostly Gods love.
This is one of my favorite family Drama I remember watching this movie on Lifetime and now currently on Tubi as well.
No matter what you go through your mama always cheers you up 😊
She has an amazing mom and she is an amazing mom!
but an idiot too,.she could've moved her bed over instead of the pails on her bed,.and flirting with the roof guy, then beats him when he comes on to her..takes the idiot hubby back at the end when a really nice guy wanted her..on and on! but her mom was amazing, and beautiful..@@thetruthhurts599
Typical Man it's doesn't work out with a younger woman, so he comes crawling back to his Ex Wife. How did ever think it would ever work out. With him having three kids and going out with one of their School teachers. He just didn't think how it would effect them.
She didn't seem quite intelligent enough to be a teacher. The movie portrayed her as the stereotypical "dumb blond."
What got to me was when he was so selfish, came and took the dog. He leaves to shack up with a another Woman. But he is going to tell her, she couldn't go out never let a Dumb User steal your Joy. Then when things are no longer hot, sexy or entertaining with his new Lover (because he left his wife for a Child). He realizes what he was missing, decides
to try to try to seduce his Wife. With a nice dinner, at her favorite restaurant, with wine 🍷, food and music. They never change, they think we are all gullible/stupid. When that didn't work what he figured he'd try the Suicide trip. I was so happy about the ending 💥💥💥💥 a 4 star movie, loved it. The Old Song
Writer said " Don't let the Devil
Ride", meaning don't let the Devil control you, let God be in control 🙏 of your life. No one else
Amen!
Why do you think it's okay to tell most of the story?
@@elisemiller13 why? nothing wrong with it
@@elisemiller13 what??? People who wantsto seea movie should not start with the comment-section😁 comment-section isto be read AFTER the movie!
George was a weak, weak man. I knew a George once in my life. They blame everyone else for their failings.
Thank you again for another great movie. Thanks for allowing me to find you and to watch great movies for free!
You're welcome!
The mother looks younger than her daughter! That threw it for me. I would love Tippi's surgeon!
Good, realistic story that many of us has experienced, thanks 👍
Wonderful cast and such an enjoyable movie. Thanks for sharing.
"can't I don't love you anymore, I'm in love with Anna" 😐. It is easy for the man to talk when he doesn't want to go home any more and live with younger women.
I am being replaced....it hurts so much! I wish... I pray that my ex will have the wisdom to let me have a part in my children's lives.
Good luck, Elke.
May God bless yr situation ELKE sweetheart ❤ :
Uh, pretty sure your ex has no choice but for you to have a part in your kid's lives .
Go to court .. fight!
It’s not up to your ex it’s up to a judge.
Great family movie. Thanks for posting!
You're welcome, Vicky. Thank you for watching.
His real mistake was forgetting his first family..... The Matthews family!! Poor Cory will be so sad to find out about this!
Loved that grandma ❤️
Oh my goodness, this is an amazing movie. It showed the strength and inner beauty and wisdom of the mom, and the foolishness of the dad; according to their choices!
Thankyou for this wonderful movie
Where’s the school board at? Don’t they care about this immoral situation in the school? Isn’t there some regulations about fraternization ? This young hot tail teacher is his subordinate . I know this is a fictitious story but come on … this guy is getting off scot free. Disgusting!
Imagine not being around when your children need you/ to see their performances cuz you’re banging your coworker, (modeling that for your boys and showing your daughter it’s ok for men to treat her that way ) but having the gull to accuse your wife of being a bad parent for going out for one night to get drunk with her friend after finding out everyone in town (including her son) but her knew her husband was cheating on her… 🙄😂 i concur, replace him.
Really enjoyed this movie. I will watch it again. A+A+A+
Thanks for the nice comments, Dianne!
This was a great one!! Shows how bad things can be gotten thru.
George ticks me off! He doesn't love anyone except himself.
Mother is smarter and more beautiful than the heroine.
Not always but sometimes what you do to others will comeback to you...He sure had a taste of his own medicine.
Fantastic movie, full of valuable lessons 👍🏾
He did her a favour by not returning.
Beautiful Beautiful movie some parts reminded me of my life.
Well it worked out ok after all . Sometimes you just have to move on to stay well and healthy for yourself .
They did a great job on the porch. Mom and kids would have no problems putting on a new roof.
I mean, holding a nail gun while standing on a second floor slanted roof is pretty intimidating.
Especially as at the end of the film they're up on the roof.
It seems dated. But still accurate in the damage we do to ourselves and family.
1999, the book was written in 93
How is it "dated"? The themes are timeless.
School districts are afraid to get sued. The principal would be put on administrative leave pending an investigation. The daughter would be transferred to another classroom. The principal would most likely be transferred with the possibility that the teacher would be too. This would happen since the principal’s children go to the school.
What a great film! Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed it!
Im glad my dad isnt like this cheating on his wife
My parents are still happily married since the early 90s brought me and my two brothers in the world they are in there early 50s now
Is it really hard to live without a man in house? Well I think it's not that difficult, if just eliminate that stupid word love from head.
I am finding it so; lost my husband of 40 years a couple of months ago, and yes it is tough, but I would do it all over again. Love is the most meaningful gift in our lives.
Yep, can live without everything else, but not LOVE:
I have been single for 20 years,loved every moment, never felt the need to have a man in my house again! I am much more happier by myself, with my kids, with my friends(whom most are divorced so we have so much fun together!)and my passion is to travel with my adult kids or friends or alone! I love my own company when I travel, I always meet interesting people!
GREAT MOVIE LESSON LEARNED
Thank you.
Excellent movie
Thanks for the nice comment, Rebecca!
SO SAD BUT REAL!!!
😢
Lovely sad movie
Really awesome - thank you for the upload.
This is a good movie better than what is being done these days
To think the secretary said he is in a meeting with the Mayor 😮
A beautiful wife , children , good job ,what a jerk……….. they always say that , I really love the family………. BUT…………….and don’t forget that love you ….and they walk out….. the mistress leaves them and they need your understanding…………Until……
My ex used to use that old trick of creating a 'desperate situation,' where I would rush into 'rescue' and 'nurse' him back.
Worked too many times until it did not.
I have just had that gaslighting lesson reinforced in friendship. No more contact and no more gaslighting.
Sherry... smart lady... you had every right:
I loved this movie!
So glad to hear that, Marci.
This us so emotional I just can't stop crying
She should've sold the ring!
I agree! 👍
Such a good movie
Powerful truthful movie...ing 🎬 movie. When the INnoCENSE of children are destroyed because of self- pleasures. Prime example of why the world...is a MESS...The HOLY SPIRIT is Willing...However the FLESH is weak weak bye week.
WONDERFUL MOVIE!!❤💯
Wow such a heartwarming beautiful movie.
Loved this movie!❤❤❤
13:18 she is here 😂 I been looking for it

Good movie.Thank you
You're welcome, Carla. So glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for posting !movie day !🍿🥤
Er.. what happened to the dog and its kennel? They literally vanished off the face of the Earth. The dog was never spoken about by mother, father or kids. Mom got mad about it, but nothing happened at all. Kids didn't even seem to know they had a dog.
Loved this movie!
EXCELLENT
Yes, Mary is a wonderful actress!
Oh WOW! "Stands with a fist" is acting quite well again! 👍👌👏
What a great movie. Just love it
