I am better about dealing better when infidelity shows up in a book or onscreen or in a song — but it took awhile.
On occasion, there is still an aspect so realistic about infidelity in a film or show that it does hit harder than other times.
That said, my wife and I chase after fun and funny stuff to watch more than anything else. Comedy shows, stand-up comedy shows, old sit-coms, rom coms, pretty much anything that can make us laugh or smile is what we look for, since that is how we’re approaching our M now, grabbing a hold of joy at any chance we get. Travel is great, because it is just us on a new adventure and tracking down our adult kids is also a great joy.
Baseball is one of my favorite things, and I rarely hear about any wacky off field issues about players M during a game.
Until you get there, if triggers are still prominent (first three YEARS of recovery, no way I wanted to be ‘entertained’ by infidelity), I would say looking up the content is still your best bet.
For example, Vikrant’s list is decent, but Longmire has infidelity in it (or flashbacks to it) and while Tommy Boy is a very funny movie, it does include the verboten topic.
