Good story Yan. I liked it very much.

I am a fan of American TV play. Here is the touching dialogue from< desperate housewife> about control and compromise.
Part1 :
Roy: times have changed, but a man's still a man and you deserves to have your wife respect .
Tom: ——She respects me plenty, Roy.You gotta understand about Lynette.She grew up without her dad, her mom was a drinker. So she had to be responsible for everyone.
Roy:—— Yeah, well, that is rough.
Tom: —— Yeah. It left her with this constant fear that everything could suddenly fall apart. And that is why she needs to control everything. Of course, she can`t. Nobody can . But,......,She can control me........if I let her . So I do, because it makes her feel safe. And that is my job as her husband,...... to make her feel safe.
Roy:——You are a good man . Scavo.
Tom:——I try.
Part 2:
When BOB and LEE get marry,Tom said below classic words：
If you are willing to break up over an ice sculpture,you guys should absolutely not get married.
Because,who gets to choose the ice sculpture,
who should take out the trash.
who has to stay home and make the mini pizzas.
That is the little stuff .
What are you gonna do when the big stuff comes along?
What are you gonna do when a tornado hits your house.or you have problems with your kids.
or one of you gets cancer?
At some point,the carp is going to hit the fan.
And that is why now.before you make the commitment.you have to ask yourself.
Is that person in bed next to you worth the trouble?
Do you love him or her so much that no disease,nodisaster could possibly pull you apart?

Yan,
Even though those were 'touching' scenes and dialogues, "Desperate Housewives" is probably the worst tv show about the way wives & mothers act. I know that it's American entertainment but they're the worst role model for any young women. Mostly, you see jealousy, manipulation, murder, infidelity & cat fights ... besides the cooking, family BBQ and sewing ... hahaha.

pretty much sums it up.

I would say "Sex and the City" as even worse.
