So at this point it's time to make a decision...

Look, we were all devastated when Michelle slept with David. Probably one of the most gut wrenching things I've seen on a TV show I like. Michelle also now knows about Brett and his fling (sorry can't remember her name).

So what do you choose? Make up or break up?

I feel really bad saying this but there is very little time in this show dedicated to their family and children so for me it is hard to be sad about the impact to the kids. The negative consequences to the kids really is the only thing that would make me say stay with Michelle but it's just really not been a focus of the show.

I hate the David character and I hate that Michelle caused this thing to spiral out of control. I felt so badly for Brett when that happened. He may have been distant for a time but marriage is longer than a temporary funk and working through those tough but short times is a part of any marriage. To give up tens of years by sleeping with someone else just because your spouse is having a rough time for a few months is sickening to me.

I love the new girl, she seems like so much fun which is I am sure was the intention of the writers.

I am really torn on this and really think Michelle deserves the punishment of losing Brett because of her wreck less behavior.

But, although such a minor part of the show, I can't let the kids suffer. As much fun as I think the new girl is, I think you owe it to your kids to try and get past this disasterous time. However, if the distrust and paranoia of another cheating situation become too much to handle mentally then I think you call it quits. But my choice for them would be to truly attempt a make up and give it your best effort primarily because I don't think the kids deserve the break up and everything that comes with it.

What do yall hope for in the finale?

I'd like to see them back together only because I think they really do love each other. I agree that the new girl is very likeable and fun. What Michelle did was wrong but Brett does have some mental issues and that probably wore on Michelle after awhile. I am still mad at her for betraying Brett. He's so crazy about her..I don't know why she did it. It seems like there could have been a better way to deal.

Now that Michelle knows it makes everything real and not only forces Brett to make a decision, but also puts them on a more level playing field. The emotion was so real in that episode that it almost gave me butterflies. I've been in a similar situation and when my ex found out about me dating someone new I was definitely put at a crossroads. I was going back and sleeping there when I wanted and selfishly enjoying the best of both worlds. We had a baby at the time and I used that as my excuse. The feeling of new attraction is so strong but there is always a coming back down to earth moment.

DarkShades: File this comment under "None of my business" but, what does "We had a baby at the time . . ." mean? You were now divorced and, once the child was no longer a "baby", you stopped taking advantage of "the best of both
worlds"? Poor kid!!! Hope you've spent some of the time since your split up trying to "grow up" a bit and to look at your responsibilities a bit more maturely. You'll find yourself feeling a lot of regrets later on down the line if you fail to clear up your messy relationships very soon.
Good luck!!!
