Facing an affair...

I watched 'In the mood for love'(2001) the other day, set in 1962 Hong Kong, where neighboring apartment dwellers Mr. Chow (Tony Leung) and Mrs. Chan (Maggie Cheung) discover that their oft-absent spouses are having an affair. This realization parallels their own mutual attraction, but fidelity and decency ensure that their intimate bond remains unspoken though deeply understood.
the story almost like one of my favorite movie, 'Cousins' (1989, Ted Danson, Isabella Rossellini), met at a family wedding and being left alone while their mates steal away(having an affair), the two spouses commiserate about their cheating partners, and they eventually find themselves falling in love and hiding their burgeoning relationship from the people they care about the most. A story as much about family ties as it is about finding romance in the most unlikely of places.

both about an affair of their spouses, where in the end, they end up facing their own feeling, in Love "Very Powerful word, especially in situation like that"

The different is the ending:
Cousins, it ended where they put guts to break all odds and live together, go sailin around the world with they real loved ones.(Divorce and all that crab)
In the mood for love, ended in very true asian culture, where we're suppose to not disgrace family name by divorce or having relationship with someone that already marriage.

If this kinna dilemma ever happen to you, what will you do? sometime culture really makes us suffer more, so many things aren't suppose to do.
"I'm tryin to make chicken salad than chicken sh*t" Cousin - Ted Danson

I often wonder why this kinna things should happen, why we're so weak in our feeling, does it make us strongger or weaker?

haha... it all depends on the person. But sometimes, people get too comfortable... and if they are the type of person who wants life to be continually interesting... they'll get bored with their relationship and... they won't actively search for another relationship, but if one comes.. they won't turn away... just my opinion... -jimmy
