[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 80872, member: 3485"] How many of you all have seen the movie "The Family Man" with Nicholas Cage? [spoiler alert] The premise of the film is that the Nicholas Cage character is a high-powered corporate raider type living a playboy lifestyle. Years before he had walked away from a relationship to pursue his career. On Christmas Eve he reveals his true, selfless character when he defuses a robbery in progress. Turns out the robbery is a test from heaven and the robber was a very unusual angel (played by Don Cheadle). The angel gives Cage a "glimpse" of how his life would be if he had married the girl (Tea Leoni). He learns that love and family are more important than material things and appearances, and that the ruthless workaholic deal-maker is not his true nature. So there is a scene where the Cage character learns that his alternate self had been fending off a neighbor's advances for years. He decides that he is going to consumate this affair and approaches his best friend to for help arranging it. To his surprise the friend is very angry, hurt and disappointed that he would ever consider infidelity, and tells him he'd be crazy to mess up his marriage. So how many think that scenario is believable or typical of the "average" guy (if there is any such thing) with respect to: -- the "alternate" husband being aware of and avoiding the other woman's designs, and -- the friend refusing to condone the affair rather than helping pull it off? in my opinion the split is about 2 to 1 in favor of guys who would behave honorably.
