Story in a nutshell : Husband Brian gets married much too early in life, loses his business, declares bankruptcy, uproots his wife and family without consulting them regarding their relocation, and then loses his father to terminal illness. Secondary to all these psychosocial stressors, Brian has a midlife crisis, loses faith in his religious beliefs, and decides to "get some strange" on the side with a female serial philanderer who is less attractive than his spouse. Brian creates a convenient excuse for his midlife crisis affair : his devoted wife Anne does not respect him or listen to him or let him watch sports programs on Cable TV, and that is the "cause" for his infidelity. Never mind about the loss of his business, recent relocation, or the loss of his beloved father. Wife Anne is to blame for his infidelity in his eyes. Wife Anne loses over 20 pounds in one month through starvation, buys sexy new clothes, gets Cable TV in the home, grovels in front of her unfaithful husband, and then gets him back at the cost of her self respect. She sleeps in the nude and has sex with Brian when he comes home to her while still seeing the other woman. Brian lies, gets drunk and gets a DWI. Codependent wife Anne and oldest daughter Danielle drive him to and from work every day because he loses his driver's license. Daughter Danielle becomes depressed and attempts suicide twice. Brian creates disruption and havoc in the home but Anne is ultimately responsible in his eyes. Brian is emotionally abusive and gives his wife the finger while they are conversing about his affair and how to restore their marriage while seated in a hot tub at the health club.
