my one criticism is they use the same lazy trope of having the female partner hugely overreact to trivial things without allowing any kind of explanation so they can do the break up and reconciliation story arc.
"I saw you in a mildly compromising situation with that other woman which could possibly have been totally innocent but I'm going to immediately assume it wasn't and instead of asking you about it decide unequivocally that you are cheating on me and I will be at my mothers/sisters/best friends until you do something in the storyline to show how you've grown as a person and then I will immediately forgive you and we can do the happy ending bit of the story"
That’s a bugbear of mine. Lazy plot locomotion device.
Also when the accusee seems incapable of saying any words that might help their cause in any way.
