How was she betrayed, I watched the movie, there was no betrayal. Mel was a hot tempered lady with an unstable mind not necessarily triggered by Robert. Robert never betrayed her, she betrayed herself.And wanted back a man she violently condemned .
A man another woman picked up from the dirt where Melinda left him, cleaned him up and made his long time dream come true.
Diana was the one who made Robert successful not Melinda. And if Robert was still dirt poor Melinda would not have wanted anything to do with him.
It was Educational , I hated the ending but so far it was fun to watch.
