Default Why Did I Get Married?

I know this is not a new movie, but my husband and I JUST saw it last night on DVD. Anyway, I enjoyed it because it sparked hubby-wife discussion and because I could actually relate to some of the material in the movie. We ended up debating the whole cheating thing with my husband's idea that a long marriage should not be thrown away for an affair that led to nothing while I feel like an affair is grounds for divorce whether a couple has been together for a year or 20 years. Also, I could relate to "Perfect Patty" in that I've always been expected to do the right thing, so it's a big deal to me when I mess up. Likewise, I saw myself in Shelia, who has issues with her body.

Has anyone else seen this movie? What did you think about it? Could you see yourself in any of the characters? What comments do you have about the situations in the movie? How do you feel about the 80/20 rule?
