Absolutely LOVE this show! The actors are so REAL and genuine...they do an amazing job. It's the kind of show you wish would just go on FOREVER!! My husband and I watch this together and I love it. Lots of FEEL GOOD moments that can bring you closer together. There are also so many story lines that people in all different situations can relate to. I highly, highly recommend this show.
The most recent episodes have been a little difficult to watch for me. We are in the middle of season 5 and Julia and Joel have been having a hard time in the marriage. Joel's job has been very demanding of his time and they have been feeling a DISCONNECT. This will happen to all of us. I have mentioned before, that it is just normal that there will be times of disconnect in our relationships. That's not the bad part. The bad part is when we don't recognize it until it's too late, OR we recognize it, but don't do anything about it.
In Joel and Julia's case...they just can't get on the same page. And in the meantime, there is another parent from their kids school, Ed Brooks, that has formed a friendship with Julia. They have formed feelings for each other and when Julia recognized that this was not appropriate, she tried to tell Ed that they can't be friends anymore. Needless to say, that conversation ended with Ed kissing her.
This storyline really hits home with me. My husband's affair started the same way. He formed a friendship with another woman and he felt connected to her in a way that he had NOT been feeling with me at that time. In this type of situation, the persons involved don't go into the friendship looking for an affair or planning on one. IT JUST HAPPENS. IT JUST HAPPENS people.
Julia didn't know what to do...she was confused for her feelings for Ed...she feels like he "Sees" her. It is just SO crazy, because this is what my husband had told me about the woman he had the affair with. "She understood him".
She went to her older brother Adam and I LOVE the advice he gave her:
"Julia, listen to me, whatever is feeling good right now about Ed, is just related to how bad things are feeling with Joel, alright? And it is not worth it. It's not about him, this is about you and Joel. And you've got to focus on your marriage. It's about you and your family. It's not worth it, ok? You've got to get this guy out of your life and forget about him. Figure your stuff out with Joel. "
Isn't that amazing? I wish that everyone had someone like that to talk to...to get them back on course when confused. I hope that can speak to any of you out there that might be feeling a disconnect with your spouse and feeling like turning to someone else who you feel might understand you better. DON'T DO IT. IT'S NOT WORTH IT. YOU CAN GET BACK WHAT YOU HAD WITH YOUR SPOUSE. YOU CAN! The disconnect doesn't mean it's over and the new connection does NOT mean you might be meant to be with that other person. But you need to TALK TO YOUR SPOUSE about it. Get help if you need to. But your marriage CAN and WILL get better if you both work on it.
The other part that really hit home was the part where Joel confronted Julia and asked if she was having an affair. BEGGED HER TO TELL HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON. That if there is anything he needed to know to TELL HIM PLEASE!
I had a moment like that before finding out about the affair. I confronted my husband and asked "Is there something going on?" And he did just as Julia did and told me No, there's nothing going on. But I'm telling you....WE FEEL IT. We may not be able to articulate that it's an affair or whatever, but we FEEL THAT SOMETHING IS OFF. I talked more about this experience here: http://mrdarcycheated.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-freaky-journal-entry.html
I just WISH he would have talked to me about it!!!! I had NO CLUE that anything was feeling off in our marriage. I would do anything to go back and have him tell me the truth in that moment. JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER PEOPLE! The truth needs to come out for the fixing to begin.
Not everyone has a happy ending to these situations. Sometimes the betrayed party feels that it is too hard to get over and would rather leave than work on it. Sometimes the one who betrayed decides to see if the grass is greener on the other side. But I am CROSSING MY FINGERS that Joel and Julia can work this out and we can see more of this:
