- Amanda Nelson (Meredith Baxter) and her best friend, Joan Bixler (Swoosie Kurtz), are happy suburbanites until a lurid affair involving both their families upsets their domestic ease. Dana (Clare Carey), Joan's daughter, begins sleeping with Rob (John Terry), Amanda's husband, and the revelation of this romance dredges up long-buried jealousies and grudges. Joan and Amanda have always turned to each other for emotional support, but this particular problem threatens to destroy their bond.
When I was 15 I developed a little crush on a coworker who was married. I did not tell him or anything, but I told my mom about it. Her reaction was not what I expected at all. I thought she’d just roll her eyes and laugh at me. Instead, she got deadly serious and stated very clearly that there’s not much lower a person can sink in life than to become a home-wrecker. I never needed to be told twice and have always lived by that rule, to never ever - no matter what the situation may be - interfere with someone else’s marriage.
Your mom got her parenting right. I say this not because of her lecturing you against wrecking an innocent person's home and marriage.
I say it for the fact that she had built the kind of relationship with you such that you could actually approach her and open up about having a crush on a coworker.
I wouldn't take that kind of openness between parents and children for granted.
@@oliveoyl1802 my mama is a genuinely good soul. I’m very lucky. Thank you for your comment.

I have no doubt at all about that. You ARE lucky. Please never take her for granted. Treasure her and every moment with her.
P.S. Momma should consider conducting parenting classes 😉
Wise advise from mom but you also deserve credit for heeding it🙌
@@paintitblack9712 That’s a nice thing to say. TY. ☺️
I have a very strict “no return” policy. If you can get my husband? You’re gonna have to keep him.
Amen, mine policy is will shake your hand if you take mine🤣
100%
that’s awesome! I agree!
So effing funny!!!!!!! TY. 😉
Haha
I don’t know if I could take my husband back after an affair like this. The woman he had the affair with was like a daughter to him while growing up. So gross.
I wouldn't. That means I allowed it. Not married and not going to ever marry.
These 90’s lifetime films were gold. Great acting, complex storylines and just the right amount of melodrama 👌🏿
Yes 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I agree
YES!! What a timeeee
One of my absolute favorites was “A Woman Scorned!!”
They’re the “after school specials” for adult women lolol
I miss TV movies like this that actually hold people accountable for their behavior instead of justifying it!
So true 👍🏽
So true ,but through my life experience, trials,tribulations,the pain" my pain" I myself being tricked mocked,cheated betrayed" as the Bible says "you don't get good fruit from a bad tree" and also bad fruit from a good tree, and as I say there's people,! Would blame and tear that human being apart physically, and " mentally justifying there lies actions ,want,selfishness and sin" breaking the ten commandments,adultery ,etc " sin' it can be ingrained through families, grandmother daughter granddaughter like a pencil,and you can fight tooth and nail ,but that person is determined to see it through to the day they die," blaming previous, husbands boyfriends etc justifying there actions, tricks,,oh oh disappointments of there sad life ,wanting pity of whoever's in there company,to quite literally destroying another person,or previous partners, and ,oh so sad the children of any previous partner, there's an old saying look at your in-laws,relatives before you commit your self, its like a disease" because ,a friend? Or partner ? Can literally pull the wool over your eyes,gaining your pity, trust,and your solidarity you will always be there'like a devoted puppy," then its,capture"= next victim! Its like that fly catcher tropical plant
@@terencebarrett2897 so true and very well put!
Netflix loooves producing more and more lying cheating couple shows and films and romatacising it as if that's real love and passion without much consequence smh. Just excuses and selfishness
@@nawal10 so, so, true! And people wonder why society is going to pot.
The love the sons have for their mom and their gestures to support her were so sweet.
That was my favorite part hands down!
Them alone were worth the movie
Great sons!
They were hurt too especially the eldest, it makes else How couple can divorce and just say he’s my ex husband Or she’s my ex wife, but kids cannot say he was our father right....
Yes. She's got some great kids and a crappy husband. That shows that u that in life you really can't have it all. A nice successful career, a nice fancy house, a nice fancy car, wonderful husband/wife, wonderful kids, etc. You will always have some things but not others. There will always be some shortcomings. And you need to be content with that.
My motto in life: Never give anyone a second chance to do the same thing twice (cos they sure as hell will).
so true
100% true
Once is one time too many, there can't be any more trust.
Agreed. I know of two wives who took the husbands back. Secretly, at some point, the men began the affair again and eventually left for good.
thank you for passing on such important wisdom.
ya'll listen this women , I KNOW SHE RIGHT-
Her mom giving her the picture of her as a little girl next to Rob’s grown behind was priceless.
No seriously, I played that part over like 3 times I couldn’t believe the age difference
@@AmazingAmoy Where was this part? What minute marker?
That was incest. She was his nice. 👑
😭🤣
That was so telling.
Meredith Baxter is a great actress. I loved her career since I was a teen watching Family Ties and of course she made The Betty Broderick story a CLASSIC.
She always made a great mom. ❤️
She is a great actress
She lives the roles!
Just read she married Nancy Locke her long time sweatheart
Classic actress
Seeing that picture of him with her as a child was proper weird
Yes. It was disgusting and beyond weird. I would never go back to him.
That was NASTY!
That’s why when his wife said it’s practically incest I stood up and clapped..
Yeah, he is a proper pervert. She would have to be insane to take him back.
That's because it's all kinds of nasty.
One of the things I find most infuriating is with the daughter, even after being caught, she lashes out at her mother and still wants to continue the affair with Rob. She cared about no one but herself. She didn't even try to apologize to her mom or Rob's wife who spent so many years being good to her. She (in my eyes) was a selfish brat who needed a swift kick in the ass.
I agree!!!
💯% agree !!!
She is just acting her age. Besides, she is the youngest of the three and the least experienced. She must also be missing her dad...
@@bmaak That’s no excuse to become a jumpoff.
She had no father figure
Their sons..wow..such beautiful people. The way Paul confronted his father at work, took a lot of courage. I loved the way they both defended their mother it was awesome and showed how much they loved her..(brilliant acting too). An affair inevitably hurts so many people. Great film.
The son had more dignity, she forgave him very quickly.
Here the only one who paid for everyone's mistakes was her friend, she was treated so badly that she slapped her and she forgives her husband's wow
😢😢
Ugh..an affair is bad enough. But he's doing it with someone he knew as a little girl. Sick, Rob - real sick! By the way, top notch acting. Lifetime doesn't make them like this anymore...
That’s all I have been saying, like an affair is bad enough but to have it with your wife’s best friend daughter, your have known since she was a child. 🤦🏽♀️
@@Nothingsofar123perverted..
I'm not going to watch this now that I found that out
Great movie. An affair really tears up more than just two people…
Yep my mom cheated and it destroyed our whole family
Sryio61io
Thats why God says not to commit adultry.
Everyone, who loves those involved are effected. It's a very deep hurt
@@katiel1979 , my heart goes out to all involved 😪🙏🏾
When her son asks if she has a gun and she says what are you talking about? I laughed and wanted to say he’s talking about Betty Broderick. 😂
Me too! I caught that and was wondering if this was made first 🤔...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw that and I thought wrong movie!
Lmfao facts
If a person can have just 1-friend throughout their entire life, that is a true Blessing.
That's what my grandmother always said.
This is true.
I have had Jesus with me in my life since 1977, and its been the best relationship I've ever known.
@@susiearviso3032 best comment I have come across here
Agree
Once you’ve been betrayed you can never go back. The trust has gone & every min you think is he with someone else. Just love isn’t enough. Better alone than with the fear of him betraying you again.
Fear borne of experience is worse than the unknown
Absolutely! Once the Trust Bridge has collapsed there is nothing to build on. The relationship torn apart. WHY would a person risk betrayal again? I walked after abuse and betrayal with PTSD. Never looked back. SINGLE since. Could not fathom that type of fear, pain, and brokenness again.
@@Mr60minoranything can be forgiven but betrayal.
I agree - once the trust is gone it’s over. You may stay together for a while - but you will never look at the person the same way. And him cheating with your friend’s daughter, a law firm intern at that - is such horrendous judgement and betrayal I fail to see how you ever get past that. Yet here she gives her friend a harder time than her terrible husband.
The same goes for drug and alcohol addiction. They may get clean for a while but there's ALWAYS a relapse. Often more than once. It sucks when you really love the person.
The fact she blamed her friend for her daughters actions, but didn’t view her husband as a weirdo is beyond me. The daughter was extremely naïve & selfish though. That man loved no one but himself.
@@skyegroome223 yeah, he definitely took advantage of that. There’s no way you can feel right about dating someone you saw grow up from a little girl to an adult.
And sex. He was bad and knew he was doing wrong. Can't get away with sin.
I’m glad she smacked the shit out of Joan!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
But the mother helped shape the way the daughter sees herself and others. The mother helped program and led by example. A woman cannot do that to a grown man with a fully formed brain and personality like a mother can with a newborn child.
@@elizabethr4107 I agree with SOME of what you said. But, she didn’t deserve to be hit. The husband was a weirdo who slept with a woman he’s known since a child. He’s the one that needed all the aggression. Not the friend. We have to start blaming these men for stuff instead of always wanting to blame women. & not to mention her daughter was grown.
Meredith is an absolute Awesome Actress. She’s made for these types of TV movies 😉👍🥂great acting❤️
Couldn't agree more
she also did women scorned. you guys should watch it. A M A Z I N G acting to the whole cast.
She most certainly IS!!!
I'm agree. "Meredith made for these types of TV movies". I heard she is lesbian, is that true? Not that i change my mind about her talent, just asking.
I was thinking the same thing! She is such a good actress, extremely versatile. She can play a wide variety of roles very convincingly.
The cheating character of this film was not truly sorry for cheating on his wife, he was however, terrified at the possibility of loosing his upcoming partnership with the office. From that point on he realized the cost to his professional life, not the personal loss of his family. Cheaters are hardly ever sorry, the great majority are narcissist. Her friend took it too lightly and needed to walk away from her for good. Betrayal hurts and changes everything.
It's, "losing."🙂
I agree that he only cared about losing his partnership with that extra money. He didn't care about his family.
Agreed! And there’s no way in hell I’m going to Europe, or even a corner store with my “friend”. We’d have to go to counseling, too.
Thank goodness you offer some sanity here in the comments. There is an awful trend running through the relationship with her husband that she started to stand up about but got talked out of by her friend. They make anger the enemy. Anger is our friend and nudges us to make boundaries in ourselves and with others concerning who we are in the roles we play. Betrayal changes everything. That is sooooo true. It breaks down things, especially denial.
@@CynthiaSchoenbauer Preach, Ms. Kat. You’ve a good head on your shoulders.
He's a jerk because he wants the promotion, and his wife is naive. She shouldn't have gone on the trip with her friend.
The fact she took her husband back is tragic. I can understand forgiving your husband for cheating, however cheating your best friend's daughter, whom he knew since she was a child, it's unforgivable. I would have finished it.
For better or worse... Her. Choice
Absolutely. I couldn’t forgive. I couldn’t. I hold grudges tighter than I’ve ever loved anyone.
Groomer
They don’t change
So true it her choice
Her sons are so good and kind and protective. Brought up well - a good reflection of her and them as a couple.
I thought the same as well. My brother & I were raised in a very similar fashion. I thank God that my Parents were faithfully married for 64 yrs. I miss you so much Mom & Dad. 🇫🇷 Arnuad Bourbon Amaral
Absolutely I thought the same and was cheering them on
I Iove her sons, so caring for their Mom
@@arnoldamaral7406 are you single?
😆
My husband was married before, she was a stay at home mom who didn’t want for anything. He found out she was cheating on him with his best friend. All those days he was off at work supporting his family she was running off and sleeping with his friend. She ended up leaving him and taking their son to shack up with this guy. It’s horrible. It happens too often, people take their spouse for granted. Everyone suffers, especially the kids.
tghatsmwgy soe religions forbid opposit sexs being together alone ...baptistd , religious jews ets
omg did he get his kid back?
When did she have the time 😢 smh
I am 67 and have been married for 43 years, I don't think my husband has cheated, but life is messy and hard and we have hurt each other in many other ways. We have been very kind to each other the last 15 years. Sometimes just sticking out works out.
Okko9ok
Congratulations on your long marriage.... Family is everything
Catherine, 43 years is wonderful, you say you hurt each other in other ways. Even if you lived with your best friend,or your siblings. Living with anyone for that many years, you would hurt each other.43 years, many people do not live that long, so you have both enjoyed a good life.
How I see your lives,you have had your best friend thru the good and bad times....bless you both.🙏❤️💞
Depends what you're sticking out.
❤❤❤
Any so called man who takes advantage of a young girl when he’s married deserves the greatest consequences !
Send them into desert. Like it that the movie ends with the flight of the adult women. A friendship is something important.
Thank you
Indeed, they are all criticising the girl but he is just a manipulative creep who had an affair with a girl he saw growing up.
True
I remember watching this movie it brings back sad memories. They play their roles very well. I love watching movies I have already seen. Thanks y'all for uploading.
This movie is a reminder that fidelity has nothing to do with how we feel. Feelings are fickle. Feelings change with time and as we evolve into different seasons of life. Fidelity is a conscious, mature choice we make regardless of what we are feeling. It is an unselfish act of kindness we give freely.
What a lovely statement, and so true🙃
Well women don’t think Rational when their husband is the one cheating 💯
Beautiful comment

Anyone who will cheat on somebody else to be with you, will cheat on you to be with somebody else.
100% correct.
Just as with gossiping - if they'll do it with you they'll do it to you
@@TheKrispyfort
Whenever I hear people gossiping about other's behind their back I'm quick to say "My God if that's how you talk about them what are you saying about me"?

It's the old saying: "If they'll do it with you, they'll do it to you."
It's sad it takes a damn affair to realize what you've got.
@@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits sad but true. Don't be a hypocrite though, young men are just as loose. So you can stop all this nonsense of blaming the women. It's ridiculous, each person is accountable for their own actions.
He always realised what he had, he just thought he could have extra and not get caught. Cheaters are so self-centered.
“A man’s reputation is all he’ll ever have.”
I’d love to tell my dad this. His affair ended my relationship with him, and he was the one to push me out. Suddenly I was the bad guy just for connecting the dots and holding him accountable. It’s incredibly selfish, and I’m glad this movie showed what other’s go through too.
My father in law married a materialistic woman who had her half nudely pics she sent him, in search of a well off man..amongst the Jehovah Wit's hall of all places, yes like a whore does,.he's not allowed to even call his Son my hubby, unless its behind her back or his daughter,.they married 6 months after my hubby's mama died..Wicked huh..she had her digs into so well..got him to sell off his home and get her a condo..reason why we can't talk to him is so he doesn't spend any of his money on anyone but her..Needless to say she controls everything more less and got her needs met.
Jenny, I'm sorry. If you haven't done so already, take the word narcissist and study it, maybe it might give you some answers, but I hope not because it's never anything anyone wants, to have a narcissist as a parent but you mentioned some traits that made me want to warn you.
I find it very strange that movies normalise and glamorise infidelity, cheating and so many negative things out there. It's so hard for oneself to process these things in real life.
@@selfesteem3447 Not everyone who cheats is a narcissist. That word gets thrown around and the definition simplified way too often.
@SadRahne So, your mom told you about your dad cheating, at age 6, which is messed up of her. Then, she allowed you to suffer horrific abuse. Sounds like your dad cheating wasn't the only parental fail you had to deal with. That blows.
If a woman meet a man through cheating his wife then he will soon leave her the same way he left his wife. KARMA!
If they do it with you, they will do it to you !
Yuck that's almost like having an affair with your uncle 😡
YUCK !!! ... IKR???!!! ... Now that older son and her ... I could see ... cuz she was a beauty and he was adorable and their age difference, I call minimal ...
That’s exactly how I’m seeing it
@@iCarilloninChrist yess the older son and her would have and could have worked

@@megsarna7429 What they're attracted to is the manipulation factor. And "virile" applies to MEN, not women. Stop being creepy.
This woman’s daughter is so silly. Lazy, romanticizing and absolutely delulu. And the husband is as selfish as it gets.
How can you live with a husband who is a cheater. The pain stays no matter what.
Hello 👋 how’re you doing?
The writing was top notch. But the sons' performances were genius, especially the eldest. They made the entire script real.
Yes! Agree.
I agree too. It was good, but sad.
Yes, the eldest son was brilliant.
Great screenplay and great acting! Meredith Baxter was a great actress! I also saw her in another movie called A Woman Scorned... excellent!
@@mariacristinabruschi7700 yep saw her in that one too
If you are in a relationship you have to keep secret - you should not be in that relationship. Pain and Loss will result.
I promise some of these scenes Meredith Baxter was acting out brought back serious memories of her in Betty Broderick (A Woman Scorned)😳😳👍🏾👍🏾
I was going to say the same. That is indeed her Signature Role - LOL!
She was AMAZING in the Betty Broderick story. Wow
Beverly watts. I thought the same thing. That would have lost the point of the movie.
@@cynthiamartin3645 YES SHE WAS!!!😊👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You read my mind … she has a tad of an annoying way about her & I hate myself (as a woman) thinking it … 😉
This movie reminds me of my ex…I was married over 12+yrs. I helped my next door neighbor get a job at the same company where I worked. Little did I know she would start sleeping w my husband. Later, she became my boss! She would set my schedule to where she could sleep w him, while her husband was working, and I was away working. Later Her husband called to say he had caught the two of them together! I moved out quickly, it was traumatizing. My divorce attorney said usually when this happens, you can assume the affair has been going on for a few years…The wife is always the last to know. I deserved much better. I learned once they cheat (ex) they’ll always be a cheater. Sadly.
Betrayal surprises and hurts deeply because many times it is coming from people you love and appreciate, family, friends, wives, husbands etc.

Omgggg did u slap her...??
Twisted. He groomed that little girl. His own wife's best friend's daughter. What could possibly be more scandalous & prison worthy?
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
Having intercourse with a 10 year old neighbor in 1928, getting her pregnant and she delivers a baby at age 11 in 1929! Oh wait by molesting the 10 year old neighbor you maybe didn’t molest any of your 3 daughters!
1:28:08 in
My husband groomed his own granddaughter. I would say more, but I can't get it out.😢
Then he discarded her like trash after he got caught and everyone started making him feel like a scumbag, if he wasn't in love with her and had no intention of leaving his wife for her, he should have never started the affair. It was obvious the young lady had real feelings for him and she wanted him to leave his wife for her. But for him she was just a play thing. Selfish guy, he didn't care about hurting his wife or his wife's best friend's daughter.
The cheating husband is the villain.
The duplicitous daughter is infuriating.
I don't know how families come back from these messes
They don't. They just muddle through and make a different life.
Maybe they realize that human beings are flawed, and understand we all have a sinful nature we struggle with. That not forgiving leads to loneliness and bitterness. In the scene where she was at the divorce lawyers office i think she realized this, because even though her friend got everything in her divorce she sounded bitter. Personally, I don't know what I would do in this kind of circumstance, but I'd hope I would have the strengh and humility to try to forgive and work through it.
@@yukijames1321 , thats true. Sometimes betrayal is something to painful to live with, because the hurt from broken trust is too much. As i said I dont know what I would in that position.
@@guerralg63 I think you make some excellent points. Don’t know if I could forgive but I’ll agree with you on something else. Thus is a majority Christian country and our whole religion is based on mistakes and forgiveness.
What a great comment section! Really! You all have a genuine understanding about forgiveness and family. Like others here... I too don't know if I could forgive in a situation like this.
Very nice to see 1995 again. What a different world it was.

@@Merbella that's true. I've should've mentioned that when I said cell phones. I remember the 90s like it was yesterday. Lol.
@ThankTheLord me too. I think it was the last decent decade.
Love the fact that their sons are standing by their Mom
The nerve of the daughter to give her mother attitude. Like sis, you helped to ruin two families and only felt remorse when you came out as a co-villain. The father has a very punchable face.
Right on! Shameless both of them!
She’s really insufferable.
Lol
Punchable? True that.
Now to add a new word to my vocabulary...
The daughter and husband only ruined one family, not 2. His.
"I'm not available and I didn't know that"... Cheating men are pathetic. Yes, yes you did know that you weren't available before you even started the affair.
IKR. Pathetic
Yeah easy to say that after he’s gotten what he wanted from her
I didn't take him literally . I interpreted it as him meaning, he made a mistake by getting involved with her & regrets it
Cheating women are equally as pathetic.
One of life's biggest lessons...never .I mean never get involved with a married man or woman unless they are totally divorced
Yes
It's seemed to work out for a friend of mine... my soulmate... I agree with you but life is complicated. My friend and I agree to disagree. They have been together many years now. A puzzle I cannot solve.
Life happens in strange ways. Don't judge.
My Ex-Best friend P got married very young and because she became pregnant, she had the habit of always having her very feminine and gorgeous BF at her house (she wasn't feminine, not an excuse to be cheated on, but it helped), and eventually her husband and BF fell in love with each other, they claimed to be the love of each other's lives and couldn't fight the attraction... It happened rght during the time that P had a 2nd child with her husband, which maked it even more horrible.
However, they got married and had their own children. My EX BF eventually moved on with her life, and forgave them, it would've been difficult to be at war with them forever, the kids were often at their Dad's new house and his new wife became their step-mom. Contrarily to my ex-husband, hers always paid the child support, took great care of their children, and the step-mom loved them, as well as the woman who stole her husband. Three very fine goodwilled people, except for that dirty betrayal.
My friend was telling me about it while driving me to her new address, she said she felt like throwing herself out of the window and I remarked to her that she was going to take a huge risk (on the ground floor apartment 😂), those roses were really very dangerous with all those thorns😱🥺
@annrodriguez2891 I agree, but most Never say they are married they are Liars and cheaters
But who gets blamed are the other woman even if she did not know he was married !
I swear my story but ended in divorce and him marrying 17 years younger mistress. My kid didn't talk to him for 5 years and now only occasionally. My ex said " everyone does that " . 23 years of marriage... it's very hard to deal with betrayal. The pain goes away with time but surely changed me tremendously.
So often the adulterers next marriage doesn't last.
i have never cheated on any of my relationships
I’m so sorry you went through that
Sending hugs❤️
Waiting on the update lol 😆
They really had two wonderful, loving sons, especially the older one, very mature and supportive under those circumstances.👍
I miss the days when Lifetime movies were worth watching.
Me too.
if that had been my daughter …. yikes. let’s just say I wouldn’t be as sweet as this mother 👀
Believe me from your picture you do not look as if you are old enough to comprehend all the things I would have said and did to her. By the way I’m 70 and I can think of a LOT of them.
A Mothers love forgives all!! It was abhorrent what the daughter did - but a true Mother sticks by her child regardless of what the child does!!! Even Murder!!!
Exactly....forgiving is one thing but society gets it wrong as we are not to condone behavior
@@sharoncox4776 Wtf?
@@BJknowz Pardon??? You are obviously not a Mother !! PO!!!
So proud of the youngest son telling his Father, if you really want to know how she's doing, call her yourself. So glad Joan continued to pursue the friendship , even in the midst of difficulty, Now, that's a true friend. One thing I've learned in life, Disappointment is based on expectation. The more we expect out of people ( which are usually close friends & relatives), the deeper the hurt, when they disappoint you
Good movie, all actors are brilliant
In their rolls life like issues.
Lessons to be learned. People
Hurt you the most are the ones
U believed, to be worthy of your
Love for them.
Well said.
I can love and support but I also always keep a part of me to me.
Do not depend on loyalty, having allies (friends, family), because these people are all bad? No, just human beings.
If a strong bond with people you can depend on are in your life that’s wonderful!
Just don’t expect it, be independent in more ways than one, love and take care of yourself.
Never put yourself or your future in someone else’s hands.

Joan was WRONG! She was a cheating friend by keeping her friend in the dark just because it was HER DAUGHTER he was having an affair with.
I love The Way those two brothers stood up to their mom they showed a lot more responsibility And maturity than their father
👍 they never “…stood up (TO) their mom…”,
they stood up (FOR) her.🙏
Amen
It was so crazy to me how she was quick to forgive her husband, (the one who made a commitment to her) before she forgave her best friend. He betrayed her. Her best friend did not.
She knew that her best friend was the one person she could take out all her anger and frustration on, because she knew her friend is the one thing that was steadfast in her suddenly upside down world. Her friend was her friend trow all of it and she knew that she could count on her consistency.
She even defended her friend when the son tried to dis her

This is the 3 rd movie where a guy uses office night work 🤣🤣🤣as an excuse to go and see his mistress😮😢,why do women/ wives never wonder about this,there are very few people working in an office at night,lolol,unless they are cleaners ...😅lies and betrayal are the worst.
I love how her mother dealt with her when she first found out.
It amazes me how much men expect for women to just forgive them after they've f'd up everything for their whole entire family!
Women are just as capable of *demanding* their partner give them instant forgiveness and just pretend the affairS didn’t happen.
Because they think you’re supposed to love them like mommy

Beautiful sons. Loving and caring mom we need more of this. This is the time for it. Thx for the upload.
Amanda and Joan were so real in this film. You can see both their points of view. Their fight in the car park was full of rage, blame and finger pointing. It was so sad to see them throwing insults at each other and when Amanda hit Joan, I expected Joan to hit back but she accepted the attack with grace, telling Amanda's son, basically, that she deserved it. Fine acting from two amazing actresses.
😇
Meredith is the absolute BEST scorned woman/lover actress eveeeeeer!!!
Omgosh yes.. whenever I saw her name on a movie I was tuned in
Yup plays the character well.
She is a great actress!!!
🙌😁😁100% Truth.. Except on Family Ties That Husband Was in Love And Faithful to Her...👩❤️👨🥴😏😁
A year before this movie was made she played a scorned woman in the true life story about Betty Broderick, the woman who killed her husband in bed with his legal secretary that he married!
Great Lifetime classic. Infidelity causes great damage. 💔 Older men who date women half their age are sick and selfish.
Yep. And so are the younger women.
@@elyse443 Exactly. All parties involved.
Agree
in this case so is the young lady. And It is he moms best friend.
Although I agree... How accepted it generally is in our Society!!! So many male Celebrities marry gals half their age. And it's been done almost since the beginning of time, families marrying off a daughter to some older well off fellow, regardless of whether or not the daughter liked the guy!!! Not so long ago, most women were considered property, to be bought & sold. We may personally object, but just think about how prevalent it is: Harrison Ford, Chris Harrison, Clint Eastwood, Alex Trebek, Cary Grant, Michael Douglas, Donald Trump, Alec Baldwin, Charlie Chaplin, George Clooney, Eddie Murphy, Warren Beatty, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Bob Saget, David Hasselhoff, Jeff Goldblum, Sean Penn, Dennis Quaid, Richard Gere, Mel Gibson, Mic Jagger, Dick Van Dyke... The list goes "ON & ON!!!" It almost seems a former Star needs to marry someone significantly younger, or at least have a young babe on his arm!!! So, while we may not like it, it's generally accepted by society as a "Status Symbol." With a number of Glamorous Female Actresses following the trend, as they age... Liz Taylor, Cher, & Joan Collins, to name a few. Thank God for the Few Great Celebrities Couples with Similar Aged Partners that manage to stay together till "The End!!!"
“You can’t control where your life is headed”.. 😂. You CAN control your actions! Free will and adults can control there actions.
How fragile married life can be….one bad decision and all the lives it touches
Fascinating movie; their son still do things with his parents, camping,vacations,those were the good 90s were our kids had no internet or movils phones
Smartphones weren't around in the 90s but the internet definitely was and so were regular cellphones. I had internet access in my Highschool starting in '95, at home in '97 and my first cellphone (a Nokia 5110) was in '98. The 90s were a lot different than today sure, but it wasn't exactly the dark ages either. lol
Damned these internal devices
I love all of your comments. I feel the very same🌹❤️🏆🙏☮️

She look studip messing with a marry man. Thing will not go well with her.
I've seen the devastating effects from adultery with a couple of my family members. Adultery cannot be "whitewashed." And I've seen adulterers try doing that. Shabby.
As a woman I don't understand why you as an other woman could open your legs up to a man who you know is married. Never have , never will. It is disgusting to me. What goes around comes around, ladies
Why do men even get married if they are going to cheat? What's the purpose of marriage then, if men will break the commitment that they made? They could just stay perpetually single and be with as many women as they want. 🤷♀
I like what you said because it's very true
Some wives refuse to have sex with the husband for years, decades.
So the husband is married to a piece of paper, and when he has a second woman then it is his right and duty to himself.
Men do the same thing
@@nigellbutlerrr2638 then get a divorce!!! Don't cheat just get the freedom you so wish to have and spare her the pain and humiliation of your adultery
A married man wanted to have sex with me and I told him I wanted a man of my own a single man and I dident want to distroy his marrige, this girl could have done the same
The best revenge one can do to a cheating spouse is to let them have each other.
That's what I was thinking !
Yes. The old saying you made your bed lie in it.
This was not a good movie I mean she's a weak woman there's no way I would stay with a man who would go with a child. Their son and the young girl are about the same age they're both in college. If her and the other lady have been friends for decades then that means he watched a little girl grow up and then he goes and he had sexual relations with her no not it. She should have been divorced😑don't want her life 😳this is stupid! the movie piss me off.
Fully agree.
@@ZeraphineDoll yes😭💙
I have to agree. It wouldn't be the way it ended if i was the wife.
I went through a divorce over a year ago and realize I never really “dealt” with any of the emotions because I was so worried about my kids and keeping things “as normal” as possible, I dove into work to financially be okay and not lose my home.
I lost my dad a year prior and that pain doesn’t come close to this one.
Watching this a year later brings up so many feelings. Do you ever feel whole again after someone does this to you?
Yes, after a few years you will find the self value you didn’t think you had
Lots of luck DONT give up on yourself‼️
No, not me.
The only people without value in the relationship are the cheaters..try and think of it as..you no longer have toxic people in your life..the space they left is yours to fill however you want to make you happy..a gift....
Good for you. It takes a long time to get through your emotions so you are a strong person
Yes,because you are free,strong and came out better than he did. Good job
The daughter and mother look the same age.
One thing I really appreciated about the writing here, was how Baxter's character ended the last scene with the husband as a sort of 'I don't know' kind of decision. I think that was a lot more preferable to many, rather that her totally take her husband back again. It was a far more realistic outcome, based on the time frame, and the newness of the betrayal. She admitted she still loved him, but was honest enough with herself, to also say, 'I don't know if love is enough'. I just thought that was a really good way of ending that scene, with the two characters.
they were banging again the moment that plane pulled away from the gate.
Yes, I agree and understand.
She should have dumped him
Agreed, it was more realistic that way.
Great take
My 1 st ex husband got a 18 yr old girl pregnant n everyone knew about including my ex best friend. I felt so betrayed in lost for many yrs n it took a toll on my mental health not being able to trust anyone man or woman again. That was 30 yrs ago but it still brings up all of those feelings I can handle it now. Anyone that cheats is a liar n would sell their own mother to the devil.
Merideth Baxter will be Betty Broderick foreverrrrrrrr! Lol.
Yep!!!!! The best!!!
What a realistic movie.! Sometimes when horrible things happen, all we can do is pick ourselves up and keep on moving. No one ever promised us a rose garden. Excellent flick and acting. The 90's was the decade and ai miss it.Everybofy Have a Happy New Year!
I agree although it is very hard to do. Happy New Year to you too!!!
It is true that life has multiple disappointments, but to just "pick ourselves up and keep moving.," is sometimes not a healthy response. We have to grieve our losses, and acknowledge our pain. We can heal when we have grieved properly. Then, we can come through stronger, but we are not the same. All of the experiences of life contribute to who we become. I thank God for the gift if "grieving" and the
@@dianesullivan7717 you are right Diane. It is important to grieve. It is only then that we can move on.
@@dianesullivan7717 Sometimes you don't have time to grieve. Sometimes if you allow yourself to grieve too much, you may just as well open your own grave ,because I have seen folks fall into depression. So the pick yourself up is quite sound advice. Whatever one does, he / she needs to use wisdom and have balance in their life. For everyone that does not equate ,into one recipe. For sure pick yourself is wiser than sulking in your pain for a decade or so . So.
@@dimitrageorgiadi5087 That's true👍
That scene with her son's anger towards his dad was heartbreaking
Typical men. They only think with ONE THING. HAVE THEIR FLING AND THEN EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE THE SAME AS EVER. YOU EVER RECOVER FROM THE HURT. ITS BEEN 42 YEARS NOW AND IT HAS NEVER GONE AWAY
THERE IS A BIG HOLE WHERE MY HEART USTO BE. IM A ONE WOMAN MAN. SO NO ONE ELSE. TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE. 🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘
Why are you yelling at us?
Turn the caps lock off.
You'll still get attention if your comment is worth responding to.
Not just negative attention because you are demanding to be acknowledged.
Seriously at 16.14 , I thought she was in her bathrobe after a bath, until her mum asked her what is she dressed up for.😂😂
True
16:14 😂, yes!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 same
Me too!
A very cute wife with a golden heart, two wonderful sons .....and he betrays her. Unbelievable!
I kept thinking all her outfits were awful and her hair style was not attractive on her at all.
Marriage it's one couple only . For life 👍
You're a product of a bygone era.
Unfortunately that isn't a reality for many people these days
💘🤵👰🤞
Excellent movie! Back when commitments meant something!
I don't think this man was sorry for his affar. He enjoyed that sexual relationship. Men seem to be in need of a side chick I think he loved his wife but was not in love with her. That's why it was so easy to slip into this affair. He needed someone to need him? That's a cop out. I've heard it before in such cases. Didn't his wife need him? Didn't his sons need him? And that young girl was not going to end it. Telling her he wasn't available. He should have said that at the beginng! It could pick up again years down the line. (When he wants to feel needed ) He was always so nonchalant. I don'r think he or the girl regretted the affair...just that they were caught.
I'm surprised the young girl gave up so easily.
Gosh I love these older movies… so much better than the trash today.
Speak the truth!!!! 🌻
I don’t know if I can forgive Someone or a husband that had an affair! It’s too humiliating a death shot on my dignity!
@@orianna9200 right !
@@orianna9200 I did three marriages 3 times the last one I didn’t care that much
@@jovitavillalpando9127 Oh wow. I hope you’re not looking for a fourth because your Pecker Picker is broken. At least please don’t marry them! ;-)
@@jovitavillalpando9127 damn, I'm sorry that those men didn't treat you either the respect you deserved
I hate the sound of kissing amplified 😑😬
Husband was an idiot - ok he's got a young girl with the hots for him but I wouldn't look anywhere else if Meredith Baxter was my wife !. She's always been - and still is - a classical beauty !
What a fantastic movie. Meredith and Swoosie are great actors. Stellar acting done by all even the selfish daughter 😂😂
In all your comment you did not judge the cheating husband.
@@joyaustin6581 They were talking about the acting!
Nice daughter just wanted to give an old man a thrill. Ain't like she extorted money from him or left a trail of dead rabbits
Still don’t like the term “actor” for actresses.
They are women 👩🦰
The beginning sounds like a dog eating potato salad, And shame on Rob.
Love the ending!!! Cheaters always lose!!Good watch!!
Amanda shouldn't have been angry at Joan in the first place! She forgave her husband before her friend and that's such BS
Her friend knew and didn’t tell her, that’s really bad. Her husband shouldn’t have been forgiven before her friend though, but I guess when you share kids and life it’s different.
@@youcantfightme8282 Atleast she made her daughter move out
@youcantfightme8282 plus he supported her financially
I’ve seen this movie on my timeline so many times but always ignored it. I’m glad I finally gave it a chance today. Amazing!!! 👍🏾
Why most men have to ruin an almost perfect family unity for a xxxx!
I love how her boys had her back!! 🤍💪🏽💯
Me too! ❤️ boys love their mama
Boys do that.❤️
Swoozie Kurtz is the reel star of this movie, she steals every scene and she is hilarious one minute and dead serious the next , an incredible actress in every movie I’ve seen her in
Two of the greatest actresses of my lifetime
Agree
I’m watching her now on reruns of Mike and Molly
I never understood why anyone would cheat with people that are always in your life and close like sleeping with your wife’s sister or like in this case they really were so close like sisters. Cheating hurts as it is but in this case idc even if the girl was coming in to the guy and literally pouncing on him. It be better for him to just say no . There’s plenty of other options like his wife !!! Seriously though messing with people that you’ve known all your life It really destroys everyone around. It’s selfish.
Merridith was so good at these roles, specially the movie ''A woman scorned: one of my favorite ❤
I remember watching all these lifetime movies with my granny back in the 90s. That's all we used to do on the weekends.❤️ I miss them days😔
Man I absolutely love Meredith Baxter, always. 💕
Thank you for the upload Have a wonderful 2022
You are kidding 😜
John Terry is a looker
Great day time movie. Amanda's boys were a true credit to her.
