A guy, in how many years of marriage,

working steadily and providing a very nice lifestyle and helping to raise two kids, yells and hits the refrigerator a few times is "violent?" Not screaming obscenities commonly (verbal abuse), not destroying the house, not slapping, pushing, or hitting her or threatening her with physical injury.... "violent," Dave? As for the affair, that didn't seem to be very important to her, did it? After all, she said she'd never cared for him, never loved him--- she just didn't care. I believed her since it didn't seem to be something she repented of saying. That's why it wasn't a very good film. That surprise was a key to the film yet there was NO warning. The abortion seemed and the result just seemed like a melodramatic manipulation. It's a peeve of mine that Hollywood (and many popular novels) aren't content to hold the mirror up to nature, they feel a need to exaggerate it, to overly dramatize it.
Now, if the wife truly was the Bohemian she was portrayed, she would have known where an abortion was available. In those days, it wasn't very hard to find a moonlighting professional, assuming you could pay. She, obviously, had the means.
