At the end of it all if you're unhappy in your marriage speak with you spouse, repeatedly. If you're spouse is unwilling to acknowledge the issues within the marriage & dismiss your feelings, just leave. Don't concern yourself with the longevity of the relationship or what people will think. The longevity is irrelevant when someone is unwilling to do the work within the relationship to repair it. Other people's opinions about your relationship is irrelevant because you're not married to them. Just leave. Legally sperate or divorce
Yes. I think that’s also the point of the story. It’s the advantage of hindsight and retrospect that we have that helps us make better choices moving forward.
Although I feel bad for Judith’s character I think TP wanted to convey to the audience to be cautious of the lure of temptations because it can result in disastrous consequences. Instead of giving us the Hollywood forgive and forget fairytale he wanted the audience to understand that when you choose the acts of betrayal which only serve to satisfy one’s own desires although you might be forgiven by a partner it does not mean you will remain with the one that you betrayed. I think we as woman feel A type of way with this movie because Judith the wife was the adulterer and not her husband. Where usually it is the husband who is the cheater. But despite the fact that Judith remained HIV and lonely she was forgiven by her husband and she accepted accountability for her actions hence Judith’s circle of betrayal and forgiveness was full circle.
I understand his sentiments, but I don’t agree with his execution through this particular story given the circumstances of her background. Thank you for watching! I appreciate your feedback. 😊
I don't blame Bryce for not addressing the three blokes It's 3 against one. He was never gonna win that You got to live to see another day If it were one person then yeah I could see
True. I think Tyler Perry intended for that scene to demonstrate Judith’s perspective on being unprotected. But I wouldn’t advise anyone to engage in a situation like that.
@expressculturetv oh yes, even the martial arts instructors always say that if you can get away from a fight, just get away from it, and they're not kidding me because you never know who the other person may be affiliated with
I think the misconception of HIV/AIDS is due to changing society mindset. Judith could be living a bountiful life whether being HIV. She could still have healthy children, a healthy relationship. Educating all communities is that HIV/AIDS is not a death title. As long as a person takes their meds and be safe for themselves and for others. Shame on Tyler Perry for setting this message out.
This was clearly a men revenge story. I don’t condone cheating but I don’t like that Tyler lets the men cheat with little to no consequences. But the women he has to cheat they get the worst kind of punishment. She cheats on her husband and just happens to end up with an abuser with hiv?
She definitely deserved better, yes she was wrong for what she did, but for him to just leave her and then get this supermodel wife and kid is ridiculous... no restoration, no redemption... Tyler Perry is supposed to be a Christian but never makes movies about restoration because God restores... It's just sad
What do him being a Christian have to do with stories he create. A marriage will not be happy 24/7 Judith was wrong ended up with hiv and y’all wanted him to stay
I agree. She got screwed over in the movie and everyone acted like she was cray. Overbearing mom and boring lowkey aggressive hubby. She was a good person who wanted a lil fun in her life instead of antlyfe.
I don’t think it was even about the fancy gifts at first with Judith. I think that it was the fact that he was pouring into her dreams, unlike her husband.
I've always felt this way and agree with every word that left your mouth. If ANY husband of mine forgets my birthday twice in a ROW!! "WE'RE DONEEE!!" I don't care how you want to sugarcoat it. And I don't care how bad you're with dates. No excuses!! And if I can't feel safe with you or around you when being verbally attacked. Smh Why am I even married to you? #YIKES
@@nenep1872 I agree with you. I'm not just discussing a birthday remembrance though. Especially for Jehovah's witnesses. Anniversaries, it could even be a critical doctor's appointment for our autistic child. Forgetting dates, appointments and being emotionally and mentally absent causes issues. Anyone knows this.
🤔 NO Judith didn’t DESERVE better since she had a FULL BLOWN AFFAIR/CHEATED!! Yes Bryce forgot her birthday 🥳 1 time & wasn’t emotionally available but NONE of that JUSTIFIES her CHEATING w NO MOFO PROTECTION which RESULTED in her getting HIV!! IF she had LISTENED to her mother it MIGHT have turned out differently!!!!
Bryce was a neglectful husband, forgetting her birthday and leaving his wife emotionally unfulfilled in their marriage. Bryce was equally at fault for the demise of his and Judith marriage!
That is a cop out answer. Her choice was her choice. She didn’t have to cheat on her man. She could have filed for divorce and then found herself with somebody else.
It made no sense how fast and recklessly she fell for Harley.. she was an educated woman who could've got a better paying job in a different environment.. plus her going on business trips and working one on one with Harley was bogus as hell ..yea Bryce was rigid and didn't have her back on many levels ...i agree with everything you said and enjoyed this immensely ❤
Uh oh! Looks like some folks took this the wrong way. In tp media, husbands do much worse to their wives and don't go out bad like this. At least charles would eventually get to live a healthy life. Mike was dying of cancer, but wouldn't have to live with it forever. The punishment is a cautionary tale that simultaneously seems rooted in misogyny
Both were wrong but bringing his wrongs up in the same space as her wrongs suggests comparison and the two do not compare at all. Its like saying i blew up his car because he keeps forgetting to bring home what im asking from the store. I know thats not what they are saying its just bringing up mistakes both of them did in the same conversation without making the distinct clarification that we are talking about two separate mistakes that do not compare suggests comparison. Though i do agree that the point of origin of judiths unraveling was her man taking her for granted. BUT all marriage counselors and people who have successful relationships know thats when you soeak up and talk your talk to your person and they should make it up and change. Not go on a cheating spree and destory the relationship the two dont compare or go together at all.
@KingComp67_-io3iz not just that. I don't think they had the proper tools to be married. Their communication sucked. The taken each other for granted. I personally believe everyone should do premarital couple therapy before you get married. Cuz the part that killed me. Is why didn't Judith tell her husband she was unhappy and started finding another man appealing. That would've woke him up
@@lenanash798 C'mon now, when she/a woman says "she is unhappy" is when she mentally left the relationship and or left the relationship not directly to his face.
@@lenanash798 I completely agree with you. Brice and Judith got married way too young. You have to bare in my mind that Judith grow up very sheltered. It was just her and her mother, her mother was extremely religious, always going to church so that's all Judith ever really. She didn't know life outside of Brice and her mother. Judith didn't have the experiences that normal ppl did. So when she got a taste of Harley's world, she went wild. Neither Brice nor Judith were ready for marriage. Judith was bored in her marriage but that still isn't grounds for cheating. If Judith was bored, she needed to express that to Brice, this is where the communication comes in like you said. Brice was also very unsupportive of her dreams. Judith wanted to open up her own marriage counseling business but Brice kept on telling her no, to wait until they are more financially secure. Brice also forgot her birthday and that pushed her away even more. In spite of all of this, Judith is still majorly wrong.
I agree I think they got married to young however Judith made vows to her husband to stay faithful and I don’t care how you put it she deserved the ending she got.

This movie was ridiculously rudimentary and unrealistic 😂 It was literally released at a time after HIV treatment was a thing, hell there were 100k walking around with it & looking perfectly healthy in Atlanta alone! So contracting HIV had Judith aging 30 yrs and limping around like Ms. Sophia on parole, but Brandy’s character didn’t age at all??? 😂 Tyler was unhinged way back then but y’all wasn’t ready to admit it 🤣
Similar deal with the family that preys. Yes, Andrea is wrong, but that was still her money and her ex had no right stealing it when it was clearly in a separate account. That never sat right with me. All the while, in diary of a mad black woman, Charles gets taken care of while, Helen's happy ending involves being the struggle bus. Even in family reunion, Carlos still has his.money after a temporary punishment of horlt grits. Smh
Great overall breakdown but i disagree at the end . The husband had flaws but under no circumstances should anyone be cheating on their spouse especially more than once. And at the end i mean she did contract a virus so it would be hard for her to be with someone else.
I agree. Judith was wrong anyway you slice it. I don't think the wrongs her man did measure up to the wrong she did to him. Yes, he could have stepped up his game but that doesn't mean walk out on your husband after cheating on him multiple times. What he was doing doesn't compare at all to what she did.
Despite her "initial reservations"... just thought I'd reiterate that. We almost ALWAYS know. That's our queue to get away before we have the chance to be love bombed, manipulated and distracted.
