The thread in Newcomers is almost closing so I thought I'd get back to you about the show here.
Spoilers..................
I thought the last episode was the least well-written one out of all of them. I didn't buy it. I can see that he was jaded and not invested in being a 'good' partner - having affairs and lying to his wife etc. I also question if he learned anything during therapy and if he truly did some inner work on himself. To turn around and basically do the same thing to his now wife seemed like he's not learned anything. He got into marriage because she got pregnant and he wanted a child - like that's just so not stand up behavior or even learning from his mistakes. He's totally okay being the WAS and inflicting the same damage that he experienced. That's a terrible message from all of this.
Like I would never do that - I'd rather stay single or not get into something serious if I wasn't going to truly commit to that person.
I could see her wanting to spend time alone and not be involved in anything serious. The scene with her OM was quite good - it would've been cathartic for the LBS to see that the exW was done with OM and had no interest in anything long term.
But I still felt that them hooking up was on the unrealistic side. I mean I'm sure it happens, but I think it's less frequent.
Overall, the show is good, but that last episode kinda didn't work for me.
