The Bully | |
Why Did I Get Married? / int_1b60dcba | comment |
The Bully: An adult, husband version with Mike. You can clearly see how much joy he gets out of insulting Sheila's appearance and putting her down in front of anyone within earshot. And unfortunately since the only person who ever calls him out on it is Angela, his friends are effectively enabling his behavior. | |

Why Did I Get Married? / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: As much as Mike degrades Shelia throughout the film, two particularly cruel moments stand out; first when on the plane to head over to Colorado, he refused to publicly defend her after being told to get off due to her size, insisting that he had been telling her for months to lose weight and the second time was when she bought some lingerie for him and he laughed at her and told her she looked bad in it. | |

Secret Test of Character: Terry pulls one on Dianne after she comes home and insists she will try to do better after the big fight they had where she accused him of sleeping with his assistant. Terry, straightfaced, tells her the assistant is pregnant with his child and asks what Dianne wants to do about it. Clearly shocked, Dianne continues insisting she is willing to make that work. Terry then reveals he was lying, to the relief of the assistant that he didn't tell ahead of time that he'd test his wife. She reveals she has a boyfriend, which relieves Dianne immensely. | |

Why Did I Get Married? / int_443b78cd | comment |
Tranquil Fury: When Angela reveals during dinner that Mike cheated on Sheila with the latter's best friend, Sheila is shocked and then gets angry. She sits at the dinner table angry for a few minutes. Then when Mike gets up to leave the table, she takes an empty wine bottle and smashes it on the back of Mike's head, stands up, and leaves the table (still angry). | |

Why Did I Get Married? / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Angela comes off as loud and obnoxious, but she has moments that show that she cares for her husband and friends. A good example is when she had the guts to reveal to Sheila that Mike and Trna were having an affair during the infamous dinner scene. Patricia comes off as self righteous, but she’s still a decent person most of the time. | |

Why Did I Get Married? / int_775a1af6 | comment |
Married to the Job: Deconstructed. Dianne's job as a lawyer comes first, even to the point of forgetting Terry's birthday. She also forgets to pick up her daughter from school a few times, and she has had a heated argument with Terry which almost led to a divorce. It's reconstructed in the end when Diane and Terry make up, and it doesn't become an issue in the sequel anymore. | |

When You Coming Home, Dad?: This is the issue with Dianne and Terry's marriage. The former is too caught up in her job as a lawyer to pay attention to her daughter and she ignores her husband most of the time. It even causes an argument that got so heated that Terry was willing to divorce Dianne. Luckily, they reconcile at the near end. | |

Why Did I Get Married? / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: At the beginning when giving a speech to her class, one of the students asks Dr. Agnew how are things in her marriage, especially in regards to the loss of her son. At that exact moment, Gavin walks in to inform her not to miss their flight and she replies happily as she points him out, "Well, that's how our marriage is." Rewatching the scene, you'll notice that a), Gavin wasn't exactly happy to see her, and b), Patricia stealthily dodged the student's question. In watching the the film further and particularly the sequel, we learn why. | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
Why Did I Get Married? / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: Debatable with Trina, as she seems to be embarrassed and remorseful when the truth about her sleeping with Mike is revealed. However, she doesn’t apologize to Sheila so it’s likely that she’s sorry about being caught rather than her actions. Patricia has guilt over her son's death, which she indirectly caused. | |

Why Did I Get Married? / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Mike in a sense. For a filmmaker who tends to have the villains of his movies sent to prison, shot and left broke and be scalded with grits, the worse punishment he receives is being left with a Gold Digger and receiving a stern talking to from the woman he abused and demoralized throughout the film. The fat-shaming Jerkass who got Shelia kicked off the plane in the beginning of the film vanishes after that scene and is never mentioned again. | |

The Friend Nobody Likes: Mike is a borderline Hate Sink to the audience, but even his friends don't really seem to enjoy his company all that much. He really only interacts with the men and he starts arguments more often than not, and the women seem to dislike him except for Sheila, who is an extreme doormat. It's possible the women really just like Sheila and put up with Mike so they can spend time with her. | |

Stupid Evil | |
Why Did I Get Married? / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Mike, for bringing Trina along to their couples retreat. It would be one thing if it wasn't already glaringly obvious he's having an affair with her, but not only does he take a non-married girl with him to the retreat, he literally is still fucking her on the trip with other people around including Sheila. Angela sees him sneak out of his room into Trina's, so he's either so stupid he doesn't think it's a bad idea or he's so overconfident with getting away with it that he still sleeps with her while his wife is under the same damn roof. There are no words for how idiotic this behavior is and it of course gets him caught in the end. | |

Annoying Laugh | |
Why Did I Get Married? / int_b871de85 | comment |
Annoying Laugh: Mike's laugh can seriously grate on the nerves. It's a very awkward sound, and most of the time, he only laughs after he's said something horrible about Sheila. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
Why Did I Get Married? / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: Dianne & Terry give out good points during their argument that (almost) led to a divorce. Terry talks about how Dianne is to fixated on her job that she seems to forget about her family. He also talks about how he just wants her to spend more time with him. When Terry talks about how Dianne is selfish for getting her tubes tied without telling him, Dianne makes a good point about how Terry doesn’t have to carry a child and miss work if he ever plans on having kids. She also isn’t wrong about how demanding her job as a lawyer is. | |

Rage Breaking Point | |
Why Did I Get Married? / int_c819533b | comment |
Rage Breaking Point: Marcus has two: when he gets so angry after finding out that Angela gave him an STD and let him think that he caught it himself that he tries to choke her and after being fed up with her and Keesha's fighting that he tells them off and storms away. Sheila hits it when finding out Mike and Trina are having an affair and he's divorcing her. She hits him with a wine bottle, knocking him out. | |

Hate Sink: Mike is a good example, being a verbally abusive philandering jerk to Shelia and even having no qualms of wrecking his friends' marriages by telling their secrets (and yet they rather quickly forgive him.) He gets better in the sequel, though. | |

Easily Forgiven | |
Why Did I Get Married? / int_f36c4f98 | comment |
Easily Forgiven: Mike, Angela, and Dianne. While Mike does get a whack on the head, divorced, and ends up with a gold digger, somehow, his friends forgive him and are still in his life after all he put Sheila through. Angela cheats and gives Marcus an STD in addition to the constant nagging and verbal abuse, but she gets to keep her marriage. Dianne neglects her husband and daughter (though she does have being a lawyer to blame) and gets her tubes tied without at least discussing it with her husband first, but she too keeps her marriage intact. | |

Why Did I Get Married? / int_f6b2bfb7 | comment |
Mike in a sense. For a filmmaker who tends to have the villains of his movies sent to prison, shot and left broke and be scalded with grits, the worse punishment he receives is being left with a Gold Digger and receiving a stern talking to from the woman he abused and demoralized throughout the film. | |
