Not sure if this was a book, film, tv or what.... help!

How's this for a really random bit of a plot...

A woman had been having an affair, the lover either left her or died. The husband then stuck by her as she mourned/got over the break up even though he knew she was pining for someone else.

It is really annoying me. I can remember feeling the pain that he must be going through, but I can't even remember if I read it or watched it!!!

Any ideas? (I know this is soooooo unlikely)

It sounds like the film Brief Encounter - check out the plot on wikapedia.

sounds like the age of innocence but would be the other way round

Never seen either

[mylovelymonster]

No, not Brief Encounter, surely. Hubby never knew about Trevor Howard.

It's definitely something else......

Were they chinese?
Sounds like a wong kar wei film....

[BlueberryBeret]

I don't remember chinese. i'm still trying to work out if it was a book or film

While you're thinking of the other thing - Sense and Sensibility has the theme - Colonel Brandon by Marianne's side while she recuperates after fever caught while pining for Willoughby...........lovely book, and film with Allen Rickman vary lovely with great music and poetry.
