  Today I attended a meeting targeted on how to handle the situation of children vs. lesbian/gay parents coming out. It was most enlightening. The most surprising though was that I met a lesbian DF sister from my neighbourhood "cong". We stared at one another for a few long seconds and then gave each other a loooong hug. She was not surprised to see me though, had understood for years. Quite a clairvoyant lady with a well-developed gaydar. I won’t give any more info on the open forum, but she has an amazing story.

  I agree with you, it does not resemble hardcore at all. I think it was done tastefully, and if you’d image it was a man and woman in the same scenes, no one would even raise an eyebrow.

  Shelly, so true what you said. Also, the statement of the previous poster is truthul. Many stays for various reasons, whether it be economical reasons, for the children’s sake, for convenience, for status, for having a more stable life. Whatever - what they loose in this is themselves.

  Of course I do not condone the cheating per se, but they were all victims in this, trying to adapt to the expectations of society and follow the expected pattern. (Is this R-rated in the US? Where I come from it is PG11 (it means according to law, children as young as 8 can see it with a grown up consort, but the content is of course so mature, that hardly anyone below 15 sees it anyway).

  I finally got to see it tonight. Actually I wanted my wife and me to see it yesterday, but we were both too tired. It was very touching, well-made. It was sad. The first scene that really hit me was the one with Alma, sitting on the kitchen table after she had seen it all through the window. Although I never cheated on my wife, I never fully became the husband and lover she wanted. She deserved better and I hope she´ll be happier, too. The rest of the film, was see without a dry eye. I guess I am way too emotional. Not much of a macho man, but I have learnt the tough way to show empathy.

  Maybe this is also an American JW phenomenon. I’ve attended quite a few halls in Europe as well, and ALL had windows.
