Ladies and Gents: I was reminded in reading this of my reaction to a very fine CBSRMT episode, "Under Grave Suspicion", where Ralph Bell and Patricia Wheel have a "modern" relationship. It ends in betrayal and the rage carried in the dialog is, I think, unique to my experience with otr thus far. The role of the woman here is modern and liberated, where pretty much everything goes because she (and he?) are unprepared for a relationship that involves "commitment no matter what". Life does what it does, and this couple falls apart, but the wonderful insight of the show is the consequence of treating a spouse cheaply.........this one needs to be put up for a show of the week.
