Good Adultery Bad Adultery cleanup: it requires at least two instances of cheating with one portrayed as better than the other


* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Mario's affair with Carolina behind the back of his wife Ángeles is portrayed very unsympathetically, while Francisco emotionally cheating on his wife [[HystericalWoman Elisa]] with Lidia early on in the series is framed in a much more positive light. Whether or not the viewer actually finds Francisco's infidelity sympathetic [[YMMV/CableGirls may vary.]]
