Should have ended up with Emily/Sarah
Call me old school but I think he should have stayed with her Mom just because they had a child together.
shareNah, that's a poor excuse (or a good one) to stay with someone and pretend you love each other.
Its very important for a child to have both parents don't get me wrong, but it'll never last in the end if love is not there. Both the male and female will be locked up in a cage cause of it.
As seen the kid still has a good relationship with both her parents which doesn't always happen.

On the bold: I have a friend whose parents almost separated (not divorced) but it took several years for them to reconcile and work out their problems. I would guess the dad had/has some sever insecurities and mental problems which contributed to the horrible communication and aloof relationship he had with his wife and kids. Problems still occur, as it does in all relationships - married or not, but the parents are friends and it's clear they care for one another. Since the kids never had a close relationship with the father it never really bothered that the parents stayed together. One thing my friend told me was that his older brother, who was still in elementary school at that time, said "Why don't you just divorce him?" to which his mom replied "No. I don't quit." It worked out in the end.
One thing I learned about my friend's parents' scenario was that working through rough patches is a must for any couple. If you can't do that then getting married should be off limits. share
Ah I see.
I do agree that couples must have a tough skin and it seems lately people loose patience a lot quicker.
Every couple will a def go through some rough days/moments, its just how you handle and recover from them. I guess Emily & Ryan could have tried harder for the sake of their kid + them as well since they clearly did have feelings for each other.
But if the relationship really felt like such a chore idk if staying together like that would be the best, at least try to stay friends with the parents though/seeing the kids every now and then which also doesn't always happen. But what do I know lol
In that regard I like Will smiths approach, saying Divorce is not even an option
Don't know what Smith's approach was.
I guess Emily & Ryan could have tried harder for the sake of their kid + them as well since they clearly did have feelings for each other.
Don't know, from what I took from their relationship was that their union was out of convenience for the most part. I never sensed true feelings of want/need for each other. That's just the way I interpreted it.
But if the relationship really felt like such a chore
This what I got from Emily and Ryan. They were friends out of familiarity, and I felt that both, it looked like, acted rather nonchalant about the divorce. It just a "meh" type of attitude.

Yea I didn't agree that they should have stayed together. Oh well, good movie though liked it.
