 Dear ABC Family,

Sleeping With the Enemy is not some cheery romantic comedy, as you portray it in your previews.  It is about a woman who fakes her own death to escape an abusive husband, starts a new life and finds a new love, only to have her husband track down down stalk them, and eventually attack them.  I pity the people who tune in to your station who are not familiar with the movie and expect a cute romantic comedy, which your previews indicate it is.

Thank You,

Me

Yup. Especially since, IIRC, the movie opens with the implication that it's a perfect, happy idyllic-post-romance-movie-marriage...and then we learn that it's all a facade and is really a deeply abusive relationship where the woman is so terrified of her husband that she will fake her own death to escape him, because she knows he'll never let her leave him...and she's proven right.
