Stories about third parties in marital and romantic
relationships which are abundant in movies have now infiltrated television. So
if you have loved No Other Woman, The Mistress, Secret Affair, and the like,
then you’d definitely enjoy My Husband’s Lover over GMA 7.
Unlike the usual femme fatale third party, this show talks
about homosexual and bisexual relationships. The guy is still the guilty party
but this time around, the third party is not another woman but a man. Countless
gay men get married and have kids with women but it doesn’t change their
homosexual nature. This is what My Husband’s Lover is all about.
The first chapter of the program chronicling how Vincent
and Lally’s relationship started including how Vincent’s homosexual past with
Eric preceded it is worthy to be applauded. The story had recently progressed: Vincent
and Lally’s twins are in school, Vincent’s parents disapprove the young couple’s
plans to build their own home, and the house is to be designed by Eric, who
became an architect and had recently come home from the U.S.
I’m sure the next chapters will be more daring and
thought provoking but for now, let me just say that this show certainly
deserves viewing time for all moral and societal issues it is presenting. It presents
homosexuals and bisexuals and how they are treated by their families and
society in general (either acceptance or disdain).
