I'd also recommend American Beauty, though hopefully your situation is quite a bit brighter than that one. I found it very satisfying to see someone finally reach a breaking point where they could no longer defer their happiness and needs, and take responsibility for their own happiness by taking action to achieve it (albeit with some poor choices along the way). I don't recommend watching this one with the wife though.
Isn't that the one where he hits on his daughter's friend and ends up getting shot?
a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
