The British drama "Doctor Foster" tells the story of Gemma, a strong woman who experienced her husband's derailment. sublimation.
1. All marriages are riddled with holes because no one can maintain a marriage that emphasizes sexual and emotional "uniqueness."
Gemma slept with their accountant, Neil, to get her husband's financial status. Neil and his wife Anna are also friends of the Gemma family.
Neil admitted that he always wanted to sleep with Gemma, and said he continued to cheat during his marriage. He told the idealistic Gemma that there are two types of men: those who cheat, and those who cheat undetected, that is, all men in marriage cheat (or have thoughts of cheating).
Gemma cannot accept it.
Every marriage is riddled with holes.
2. All friendships are riddled with holes, because true friendship confronts the incompetence and evil of oneself and others.
Anna and the Neil family, as good friends of the Gemma family, deliberately concealed it from Gemma after they found out that Gemma's husband was cheating, and went on vacation with her husband and the mistress.
After Gemma had sex with her husband's finances, Neil asked her if she could continue. "Neil, I blackmailed you!" Gemma said, puzzled. "I actually never liked your husband," Neil told her. "He's arrogant and stupid."
When Gemma confronted Anna's family, Anna admitted that she was completely dissatisfied (jealous) with Gemma's "better than everyone" state. Anna found out that her husband was sleeping with Gemma. In slandering Gemma, Gemma lost her job and her life changed dramatically.
Every friendship has a ghost.
Even so, please don't be too disappointed in marriage and friendship.
One, Anna said something very interesting after she found out that her husband and Gemma were sleeping. She said she always knew that Neil was cheating, but she didn't mind.
"We may not be perfect, but we understand each other's needs!" Anna told Gemma.
Two, when Gemma was injured, Anna ran over and called an ambulance. There is also a scene at the end of the first season. After the divorce, Gemma leaves for work in the morning, and neighbors Anna and Neil wave hello to her.
Therefore, 1. All marriages are riddled with holes. No one can maintain the "uniqueness" of sex and emotion in marriage. Maybe it is "understanding" that maintains marriage.
2. All friendships are riddled with holes. A true friendship confronts the incompetence and evil of oneself and others, but true friendship may be the same. Even so, people can still choose to reconcile with themselves and each other.
