Trigger shows are
Scandal and Being Mary Jane
I can stomach "the Haves and the Have Nots," simply because of the vile way the wife treats the AP's she knows about....

Crazy Stupid Love. I enjoyed that movie and get that they reunite at the end, but it is not the same anymore. The Notebook is one I love, but haven't watched it since D-Day, so who knows for me anymore.

Turned on 'American horror story'. Little scary show, why not?? First 30 seconds wife walks in on husband screwing a student in their bed. Super fun. I was able to watch oddly enough. It was real. It wasn't glorified fantasy lurv... Shouldn't have watched it though, hubby almost came unglued and we haven't watch any more episodes.

Unfaithful: Stories of Infidelity
I know, that seems ultra-obvious but it goes a little deeper. It's the way the present it. Most of the stories are of couples who stayed together (or remarried). What disgusted me was when the the MC would talk about the BS role in the A. It got a little blameshifty at times.

I hated how the BH was supposed to "win back" the WW and the BH's friend tells him he is the reason his wife strayed.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is very triggery in the beginning. This is one my favorite comedies (before dday) and has become therapeutic after my dday because it makes me laugh. I had actually forgotten about this movie after my dday until I caught it on cable. It kicked started me out of my own BS fog.
I love the part where the Sarah character flashbacks to moments in their relationship when her ex, Peter, had put up with all her demands and she realizes he did so out of his love for her, and when Peter flashbacks to those similar moments and sees how she basically took him for granted. I laughed so hard when Sarah and Peter tried make-up sex and he couldn't "get it up", and she asks what's wrong with him, and then he responds - "...maybe the problem is that you broke my heart into a million pieces, and so my cock doesn't want want to be around you anymore! Ok? EVER!"
Look up "Forgetting Sarah Marshall scene "You're the goddamn devil!" on youtube to watch the scene.

I am actually watching "The Descendants" as we speak. For BS, I think it's a great movie... If you're far enough past DDAY.

I read "The Great Gatsby" in high school but didn't remember much about it except that it was in the 20s or 30s or whatever... Went to see the new Leo DiCaprio version not long after dday.
OMG!! The entire movie is about infidelity, plus it has a very depressing ending. Really wished I had remembered the plot; I would not have gone!! Beautifully shot and costumed film, and Leo is great, but HUGE mistake to see it when I did.

Him: Someone else's problem

Saw The Wolf of Wall Street and was in a low funk for several days afterwards. It's not so much the confrontation scene with his wife over his A, which was hard to watch, but it's excessive in every way. People living with no morals, no scruples and no real consequences. I'm having enough trouble getting my mind around how separated my fWH got from his integrity - how dishonest and self serving he was. Seeing DiCaprio doing it on the big screen for 3 hours was more than I could take. Yuck.

Another one!
The Signal
The freakin' movie starts with a WW leaving the OM's bed, who tries gives her a mix CD and tries to talk her into leaving her BH.

IIRC, "Schindler's List". 
In addition to the other truly heartbreaking things in the film.
"I will stay with you only if you promise, no one will ever mistake anyone but me for Mrs. Oskar Schindler."
Also, another TV show: was watching "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited". Seems like there wouldn't be as much infidelity in cartoons, right? Wrong. After what happened with "Batman Beyond", you'd think I would have learned.

Can't remember if someone here wrote about "Rid of Me"? There's another one. Though the BS winds up much happier in the end, through her transformation process, and the WS and OP just look… lifeless. It was a very interesting contrast.
