Infidelity in films


There are SO many films which involve some kind of infidelity.

Titanic: Rose cheats on her fiance with Jack.
The Notebook: Allie cheats on her fiance with Noah.
Mean Girls: Cady goes against the "rules of feminism" and kisses Aaron while he's still with Regina.
Love Actually: Two of the couples the couples have a type a affair, one of them is only a kiss.
Sweet Home Alabama: Melanie was technically married to Jake the whole time, so falling in love with Andrew would have been cheating on Jake but then she cheats on Andrew by kissing Jake.

The list goes on, but in all these films, apart from Love Actually you don't see the other side, how the cheated feel, (although you do in Mean Girls but it's not really serious).

It seems that films make infidelity seem less serious and it always results in a happy ending with hardly any conflict. When in reality this really isn't the case. But film makers have a motive which is to make money and apparently "two-timing, cheating mates sneaking around furtively in the dead of night under the cover of darkness and deceit sells tickets".
