My Take on Acrimony

[5 min read]

So, I finally watched Acrimony-hold on, don't close the tab or leave this page just yet. It has become a touchy movie some people would rather avoid and while I can understand the ravings, I think they are quite unnecessary.
Anyways, if we must apportion blame, let's do it right 😁



Here’s why:
1. One reason we’re advised to not let our feelings cloud our judgment is evident in Melinda’s action. I mean, if you’re not comfortable with the decision(s) your partner is making and you know it might affect you in one way or another, speak up and let your partner know you aren’t cool with it. Melinda wasn’t comfortable about Robert’s use of her money, but she rationalized; oh, the battery will hit soon so there’s nothing to worry about. Well, I love him, and I can do anything for him😏...

2. Okay, here’s where I think Robert is at fault. Yeah, you have your project to work on and that’s alright, but when you notice whatever it is you’re doing is starting to put a strain in your relationship with someone you claim you love, then take a break, sit your partner down and discuss it.💁

And yeah, he should have gotten a job

3. Another vital thing is that no matter how bad we want to apportion the larger share of the fault to Robert, let us also bear in mind that we heard the story from Melinda’s point of view. Robert really did love her (Melinda loved him more) even though I think it was a fast move for him concerning Diana.

And let me know, do you think he was a con artist like Melinda claimed? (I know my answer🤐😎)

4. Also, Robert didn’t fight for Melinda. I mean you’ve been in a relationship with someone for 18 years(right?) and the person says she wants a divorce, you just almost passively go with it?

No man, no. You don’t do that🙅; You fight for love. You fight for her. For real! Even after the divorce and the battery hit, I think he should’ve tried again with Melinda [not telling her he had made it though, because that information alone would’ve made Melinda change her mind, but he should’ve tried without involving money... Okay maybe involving little money]

5. Another thing, the divorce may have been avoided if Robert told Melinda, from day one, that he was in contact with Diana about the battery. You know?

6. Learn to let go. She divorced him. She should have lived with the consequences of her action (hard sturv though)

7. Someone said "There are some people you are not destined to make it with, no matter how much you love them, or how long they have been together". Do you agree?

I honestly can’t remember the other things I was going to write😩😌, but this is already long enough.

Oh, one more thing, if you are or ever get to be, in fact, imagine you are in the shoes of Diana, would you try to get them back together or would you go with the flow like she did? (I don't even know if she loved him or was just there for the money)

Anyways,
Tyler Perry deserves accolades for getting people riled up over this. 👏👏👏

However, these are my opinions though cos hey, what do I know? I’m just a lady satisfied with leading a single life for now.
