Well now I hate her... she just had revenge sex.

Thanks but that’s not acceptable to me.. I detest people that can’t control their impulses even if it’s to get information.

I've been watching it too. Simon is a scumbag...like all cheaters. When he says 'It's been 2 years' as Gemma (sp) should be over it by now only a BS can understand how stupid that comment is. Great show so us BS'S know it's not just us who goes through that crap when it's no different for a beautiful sucessful intelligent woman. I'm rooting for her!

Ok I got a little triggered but I’m over and love Gemma.. love how she broke that glass house down... and yes I felt her pain and anguish and how she would reign it in. I did that so many times and the nail thing.. omg I did that. Left a permanent scar.. it was the only way to internalize without going completely mad.

Binge watching season 2.

Wait what nail thing? I think i.missed that part, I'm usually doing homework when watching TV.

Not reading above because I'm only just a few episodes in....but whoah. Whoahhh. Thank you for the recommendation. SO good (maybe good not choice word) A bit triggery as so many parallels (, 'crisis' age of WS, her reaction upon the realisation, the crazymaking) but weirdly comforting.

Edit: when she said 'I'm too smart to be that woman. I am not that woman' shivers

OMG. I binged watched a few episodes today because I was home with a cold. So much of it was so realistic. Triggered big time when she was searching his office and car. Oh and the hair. I found a hair. Darn it! My Wh is so cliche that damned Netflix has a show about it! lol

Ok completed Series 1.

Can I just ask, I keep reading reviews that the plot is "preposterous" and crazy. Is this just how far infidelity has knocked me that I understood the plausibility of it all??? That to me it seemed like a fair representation of what could happen? That for me it didn't FEEL too far from the truth? That she acted out a lot of what I felt?

Nothing seemed too crazy to me. I've felt just like her. I FELT crazy. Often. The anger and sadness was overwhelming and the only difference being I didn't 'act out' any of it. My WS was remorseful from the moment he knew I knew. It is only my husband's apology and remorse that held me back from inflicting any kind of humiliation upon the AP. If my WS was as unapologetic and unremorseful as the Dr Fosters WS then I can imagine I would not have held back in wanting to make him and the AP as uncomfortable and humiliated as possible. I have heard worse stories in here!!!!!!!

Sure there were a few things that were a little more exaggerated but honestly not much! Is it people who have never gone through the trauma of infidelity suggesting she's crazy and the plot is crazy???She just acted out how I was feeling. I even had the burning desire to swim into the ocean like she did (I didn't do it, just thought about it). At timed the grief/anger/hurt was so overwhelming I remember thinking I didn't care what people think of my actions and I don't care what happens to me. The difference being I haven't acted on my feelings and the character did?

I really believe it's only thoughts of my children and my WS being remorseful immediately that stopped me acting on my emotions. I don't know...I liked the show because it was nice to see the revenge fantasies played out!!!!!

Maybe this has made me crazy hmmmmm

Just wait till you get to season 2...!!!

"Just wait till you get to season 2...!!!

from what I have read the 'crazy' might be more clear in season 2....but even season 1 was called crazy and unbelievable but it wasn't that absurdly off base for me lol!!!!!

They clearly researched BS and WS online writing/scripting season 1 I reckon.

Hoping to start to binge watch 2 tonight....

Season 1 was very believable. However the Season 2 plot does get pretty wacky in my view.

. Arghhhh I can't watch S2 yet. it I was really surprised reading articles and comments about season 1 being unbelievable!! I liked it because it was believable for me! Not so excited about S2 being crazier but all my 'non affair' friends have told me how fab it is! Scandal gets ratings I guess *sigh*
