When marital infidelity becomes obsession a woman lost her pride and finds pleasure in her pain. She return its life to discover new cases of the husband and forgets itself and her job.
In real life it happens but peoples don't talk about and life go on ( like mother's Ruby, in the movie) Love with infidelity can be like drugs and the wife needs support to run away and to find a normal (happy?)life. "House of Secrets and Lies" is a good movie and I believe that many peoples ( mainly women) will be able to be identified and, perhaps,to have a new vision of its situation.
