However, I can not see how someone can fall out of love overnight. I mean, even parents who love their children who commit murder or rape still generally love their children. Me, I took several years (way too long) to fall out of love with my ex. Even then I still have a love of some sort for her (as together 10-yrs) and still care, but should have split up 5-years ago. Falling out of love with a husband overnight, to me there was no love to begin with, hence maybe the name of the programme "The Beautiful Lie" which is actually not so beautiful. IMO

Got halfway through the first episode and was deeply bored .I found the characters deeply annoying...it's based on Tolstoys Anna Karenina and I actually don't remember Anna being in love with her husband.A bit of miscasting going on there too in my opinion..the male lover I find very unattractive .I can't imagine hoardes of women running after him..and what kind of name is Skeet!!😳xxFreya

re: the lady falling out of love with her husband...can be answered by asking "how can you even fall in love with someone else that isn't your husband??" Rhetorical question indeed... You do so because that's....just.....you....and it works for you and yay for you.... As for the throwing away the marriage.....lol marriage is just a piece of paper in the big scheme of things.....well....maybe it's a few pieces of paper; that transfer money....Lol....but none of which has a direct influence on free will....so I guess it all depends on the level of sanctimony that we as individuals place upon such a piece/s of paper/s. - Posted from rhpmobile

I HONESTLY fckn do....If you fall out of love with someone overnight, or as soon as meet someone else..THERE IS ONLY ONE FCK ANSWER...HONESTLY.."you were NOT in love with the first person"Therefore you probably are NOT in love with the second person.AND most likely have no fckn idea what fckn LOVE is.. SO.. stop using the word, and further perpetuating the fckn lie!!!!!Jesus fckn Christ..This is fckn teenager shit..I worked it out when I was 16..And can quite openly state that through ALL my relationships.. all my five children's mothers, all my flings and "Likes" an "Squeezes" .. the CLOSEST thing I have EVER felt to love.. EVER.. (When I honestly renegotiate those relationships) is right now, with a non sexual friend I have in a life a long way separated from THIS life, My WORK life, AND sex itself.

Freya, I started watching and made it through two episodes before giving up. I too found the male lover unconvincing and unattractive. And you're right, Anna was never in love with her husband. Cavey, hit the nail on the head there in my opinion... if you can fall out of love so easily, then you weren't in love in the first place.

Quoting 'Stirry' As for the throwing away the marriage.....lol marriage is just a piece of paper in the big scheme of things.....well....maybe it's a few pieces of paper; that transfer money....Lol....but none of which has a direct influence on free will....so I guess it all depends on the level of sanctimony that we as individuals place upon such a piece/s of paper/s. . Those pieces of paper are suppose to symbolize the love between a married couple. We have been married for over 20+ years because we see marriage as not just a piece of paper but a strong loving commitment. The most important influence on free will is moral responsibility. Its not a question of sanctimony but how reliable your moral compass is and the decisions taken from that. Being morally irresponsible=divorce. We have had a fantastic time on these adult dating sites because we have a strong moral commitment to each other, which has allowed us to add another positive dimension to our relationship. Mrs S is the perfect hot wife.

It's a 6 parter with interwoven love stories...the seven year itch...the flattering younger man...the guy blinded by love of a neurotic unbalanced woman, jilted by others...and on and on...I'm finding it a bit slow....but they are all real life type people who I can relate to. Well cast ...other than having too many ex comedians. It's no worse a morality/ fairy tale than other stories themed around love found and lost and the consequence of differing decisions. The two main characters are ex tennis pros who met on the circuit...well surprise surprise that life after professional sport is different. The actress who is Anna has a wonderful warm glow about her.

Based on what I've heard, though, I don't want to - I loved Anna Karenina, and whilst I enjoy a decent adaptation of a text, I don't think this is it. As for falling out of love - if it happens easily, it wasn't really love, in my opinion.

Its amazing how many people get wrapped up in TV shows, reality or otherwise and think it is real life. Even reality TV is pre-orchestrated to please the public and get ratings. I've met quite a few people whose perceptions of Americans comes from watching TV instead of actually visiting the country. Pick up a book and read fiction, non-fiction, whatever. You'll be better off.

To be honest I have no idea as marriage is the only long term relationship ive had, so I have nothing to compare it with.

If you weren't married to your partner; would you still be in a relationship with them?? I'm assuming yes....which I think is just beautiful to be honest.... But I think we've said the same thing....despite your original response being worded much better.... You see marriage as a sacred symbol of your love.....once again I think that's great.... But the marriage itself isn't needed in order for you to share what you have with your partner; which is what I was getting at when I said it doesn't really have an affect on a persons free will....therefore in the big picture; the marriage itself is just a piece of paper that holds no real power over people unless they hold a level of sanctimony in it..... As jaded as it may sound; I still believe in both love and marriage, but I think it's a reality that we too often ignore..... :) - Posted from rhpmobile

I fell for a narcissist like that , that fast. They have a magnetism about them it's very hard to ignore and it's what they do. I left my husband who was a cheater for a man like him . I did not physically cheat but emotionally I did . I left because he was all consuming and promised all my husband didn't.And like the show, he proposed to me but he was planning to fuck his married co worker. I had to turn it off as it was to close to home for me. - Posted from rhpmobile

Can you please choose another term for clarification. Sanctimonious reminds me too much of Alan Jones, its off putting.

a crap show. I watched all the episodes in a kind of hate-watch thing. Terrible dialogue, awful characterisation. All of the characters were self-absorbed arseholes, and if you're going to make your characters so unlikeable then you should make an effort to flesh out the reasons why they're like that or give them some sort of depth so the viewer can at least understand their motivations or relate to them on some level. There was none of that though, and it was just endless whining and stupid, selfish people doing stupid, selfish things and making stupid, selfish decisions which made absolutely no sense and were given to context to make any sense. The ABC has and can do so much better.
