The Grovel / Revenge Films

Go To

In stories about cheating spouses who leave their partners for ones with high specs such as good looks and/or money, there will be a point where the high-spec partner will end up losing it all or the cheated ex-partner will become even more successful than them, with the cheating spouse trying to get back with the victim afterward. However, the cheated one and/or their new spouse will have none of the cheater's hogwash and send them packing. Therefore, this warrants Revenge Films a The Grovel subpage.
