For Worse
Synopsis:
After three daughters and 30 years of marriage, Peter informs his wife that he has been having an affair and has fallen in love. He assumes that upon hearing this, his wife will immediately dump him. Unfortunately, she doesn't. Worse, she says she still loves him and wants to work things out, and the girlfriend, who has given Peter an ultimatum to leave his wife tonight or it's all over, doesn't appear to be sympathetic to his plight at all. A story of love, trust, friendship and betrayal - examining the question, "is old-fashioned, monogamous, committed marriage even possible anymore in today's world?"
