Allie Crawford seemed to have it made. She was married to Wade - the sort of man who made other women ‘’drool’’''drool'', had a job in a high-profile Manhattan PR firm and two kids whom she adored. What could be better? What could go wrong? Well, it looked as though something was going wrong when Allie found Wade locked in their laundry room with a decidedly glamorous blonde. There had been a bit of a blip in their marriage whilst Allie was breastfeeding their younger child, but Allie thought that Wade had learned his lesson and would be careful about hurting her in future.
Most women would be a little nervous with that back story but Allie had a bit of history herself. Her father died when she was young: she was in the plane with him when it crashed. Her mother was at home - wedded to a bottle - whilst her husband took their daughter away on a trip and quite possibly was also using it as an opportunity to further an affair he was probably with Allie’s best friend’s mother, who also died in the crash. Fatherless - and with a mother who was no support at all - Allie seemed to be looking for a father substitute as much as a husband or partner.
