I've seen people who get great rage over cheating in a marriage and know other people who think that there had to be something the other person did wrong. Other people have different standards as to what constitutes adultery it seems to be different for everyone.
In this show it seems as if the parents grew apart after the kids left and the kids are still trying to figure out how and are angry at themselves for not seeing it and blame their father for the whole mess, because their mother is perfect. Which would be consistent with their upbringing with a hardass dad and a super caring and do anything for you mom.
I really enjoy the way this show has managed to stay away from manufactured drama. You don't really have the moment where you say, "Wait, why the hell would someone act like that?" The characters are diversified enough to provide the appropriate reaction and create the appropriate drama.
Uh, oh, didn't think I was enjoying this show as much as I am.
