Too Controlling Wife?

Did you even watch the movie at all??? She did stop taking the pill BUT told him when she was having trouble getting pregnant. They both went to fertility specialist who said he had a low sperm count due to his underwear so he had to change to boxers. There's even a scene where he is hiding in the attic because he was tired of the "chore" of sex to get her pregnant since she was following the ovulation/temperature thing. She set up the pillows and gave him wine and said he could watch tv. Do you remember ANY of this, or you blocked out those scenes from your memory?

She stopped taking the pill without telling him he was under the impression she was taking the pill. Clearly an act of deception, and unacceptable.
When a guy is banging random broads, then yes, he needs to take proper precautions to avoid preganancy if he wants to avoid the possible consequences. (Or make sure the girl can't locate him.) But with his wife, he should be able to rely upon her honesty regarding her birth control practices. -

Yeah, seriously. A lot of people on here seem to have issues with the opposite sex. I wish people would just understand. Men are not evil. Women are not evil. PEOPLE are evil. Okay, not evil. Sometimes selfish, frustrated, and careless, not necessarily evil. People do and say things all the time that are deceitful, it's human nature. Men don't do it more than women, and vice versa. If you disagree, see a therapist. Simple as that.
As far as the original topic, I know that when I tell a friend or my siblings about an argument I had with my spouse, I can't tell them what precisely happened. If I'm upset, I'll subconsciously make myself sound like the good person, even if it was (mostly or all) my fault. HUMAN NATURE. Anyway. I'm lucky to have a spouse with similar views, and if we were confronted with a friend who brought over an extremely disagreeable partner we would probably tell them where the nearest motel is.

Getting back to the original question, she blew her stack when he suggested Davis and his girlfriend stay over without first discussing it with Kristy. Then she has the nerve to tell him to promise not to get mad when she tells him she hasn't been taking the pill for 3 months. The point isn't whether or not he wants kids, it's about her doing something without consulting him that effects them both. She was furious about Davis staying over without her input, yet it's ok for her to work for 3 months on having a permanent resident in the house without at least letting her husband in on the plans ? Look at it this way, Jake wants to be a writer, would she have been cool with it if he said "hey honey, I quit my job 3 months ago, I've been working on a book every day when you thought I was working don't be mad"
Anyway who cares, all I know is Alec Baldwin was such a hottie 20 years and 50 pounds ago ! -

I think you make the best point (that hasn't been deleted, at least) and it really illustrates the double standard presented in the film.
Personally, and from a man's perspective, Jake
was
stupid and out of line to invite Davis and his girlfriend to spend the night. While Kristi used the opportunity to show her true potential as an hysterical bitch, Jake probably had it coming for thinking with his other head. Which only raises a further point that, in the given situation, just about the worst thing Kristi could have done was make Jake sleep elsewhere in the house. . . . .
But, Jake only made a decision that might have affected the couple for a single night. Kristi made a decision behind her husband's back that would have affected the couple for the
rest of their lives
. Why isn't Jake allowed to blow his top and punish his wife in some way for that? Instead, he eventually goes along with it? Something wrong with that picture.
If I ever go down, I hope I don't get the Potato Judge. -

(My wife reacted the same way when Alec Baldwin slept over at our house. Women just have this "thing" about Alec Baldwin and his sleep-over habits.)
