This is the only affair she knows about. In season one she has a suspicion after her friend Francine told her about her husband's affair. Betty doesn't ignore that, she confronts Don though her shrink because she knows that Don listens in on her sessions. She's not that submissive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4642584784595208250.post-54397916262529324392011-02-08T17:02:16.705-05:002011-02-08T17:02:16.705-05:00I agree with the statement that in today's cul...I agree with the statement that in today's culture cheating and lying is unacceptable in relationships and is usually met with either divorce or a break up. <br />I also agree with the observation that Betty is naïve with regards to what her husband does while at work. <br />But what I do not agree with at all is the fact that in the 1960's people put up with cheating differently than they do today. For example, (Spoiler alert) Betty finds out Don slept with Bobbie Barrett and expels him from the Draper residence for weeks and refuses his multiple requests to come home. She only lets him back in when he swears that he did not sleep with "that woman". Being naïve, she believes him finally. <br />Again, cheating wasn't taken less seriously in the 60's, but it was not talked about like it is today.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08432070022137612904noreply@blogger.com
