It's just better to watch The Wedding Singer.

As the audience, we know Adam Sandler's character believes he loves Drew Barrymore's character authentically, but in no way, shape, or form could her character know for sure. A deeply traumatic experience every single day, especially during the pregnancy? Wow, how did so many people not think this one through??

I know a couple who've gone through this for about 15 years - he had a sudden brain cyst create a traumatic brain injury and changed into a different person (angry, uncommunicative), didn't remember their idyllic marriage or having kids, and in the end, while he's recovered a lot and high functioning, she's just formally separated from him. I am her friend (vs his) so what I've seen her go through is so heavy and intense.

So just, even the Adam Sandler character makes no sense because this is a grueling, burdensome experience to be married to someone who no longer recognizes you. It's more one-note male thinking to assume he can maintain the love as long as she's as cute and pretty as Drew Barrymore.
