Dr Foster, Psycho Bitch or Woman’s Hero?

Have you seen Dr Foster? I love the series, I think they should have carried it on.

But thinking about her behaviour when she finds out her husband of 14 years has been having an affair, is it normal or does she completely lose the plot?

I’ve watched this series so many times, it’s one of my go to programs when life takes a twist for me.

Her whole world crumbles around her when she realised her husband had been having an affair for 2 years and she had no idea. The first time I watched it I felt bad for her and could relate to her feelings and behaviour to some extent, she seemed to carry out the actions some women in that position could ever dream of having the courage to do. However rewatching it with a different mind set she is completely mental and needs to seek professional help.

But who determines someone’s level of appropriate behaviour? As long as you’re not breaking the law is it acceptable? Socially there are unwritten rules we have to abide by. Why do cheating men feel the need to lie about what they’re doing when they’re asked? Why do women seem to lose their minds in that situation?

I’m a little crazy just in general. Could I behave the same way? Absolutely, I think we all have it in us! Would I want to? No, But why? we’re all human we’re all built the same but why do we all react so differently?

Something happened on Friday nothing to do with my relationship or even related to my life. But it really hit a nerve for me, it upset me so deeply. I’m not the only one there’s others in our circle that felt the same. Yet speaking to the mr on the evening he was completely unfazed by it and I still even now on Sunday can not understand how he is not effected by it and he can’t understand why I’m upset about it.

It’s consumed all my thoughts from the moment I found out Friday morning. Sometimes there are really shitty things that happen in life that you have no control over whatsoever. How do we cope with them? Why can I not just switch off my feelings and just not give a dam? Why do I bloody care so much? Aaaaahhhhhhh!!!
