I don’t think that men Should be encouraged to not prioritize nor care for their women. Judith was neglected, Brice even forgot her birthday, for 2 years, back to back, as we’re made to understand,.. if not that his excuse is “a job and his goals”,.. that’s cheating behavior/attitude too. I could well say he was cheating on her with his own “aspirations” or “dreams” (or a lack of it? I don’t know) or “other priorities. Bottom line is whatever you stop giving attention to, you lose, be it a talent or a relationship. I would’ve expected redemption for Brice & Judith’s relationship. I have seen couples who have at least a child despite one of them being HIV positive,& who are doing happily well! And if not so, why can’t Judith be given a chance to end a bad relationship and end up in a better happy one with someone else? Why doesn’t Brice get to have an experience that makes him into a better husband and partner? Being a church boy is not enough to make a man a good husband.
Then I don’t even understand why Melinda would stand up for and admonish Brice when he feels sorry for neglecting his wife. Brice immediately turned to Melinda and almost had an intimate moment with her save that she stopped him.
I don’t think Brice was a good husband or partner, neither did he give Judith a good relationship.
I also think that Making the women suffer for the misdeeds of the men is not okay.
