The story lines are very weak and unrealistic. In real life keisha character gets everything in a divorce after only a year ! that is not a good message for anyone to see and think that the court system works that way. Her character has shown everyone that there is no consequences for what she did not only to Richard character, but how she lied to marcus about dominique about being the father and taking his money all those years, how she cost them there business for failing to pay here taxes and so much more and you never so… Read more »
I like the last episodes with Marcus’ daughter Pamela, because it had a good story line. They were serious and funny at the same time. I’m hoping that this series will remain on for another season because it’s getting good.
I agree…the kasha and Richard storyline is totally unrealistic and kasha is totally nasty. A eal black, white, latino, etc. man period would not put up with her mess. In addition, Mr. Perry’s domestic violence episode was so one sided and unfair. I am a black woman who grew up watching my father abuse my mother at the sound of her voice. So I do not condone men abusing women. BUt this episode tells black women and others it’s okay to poke a man in his face repeatedly and when he breaks call the police. That is exactly what happened… Read more »
Can you please do something about kisha and Richards story line. It is totally unrealistic. I was looking forward to watching this season since I thought there would be changes. I will not continue to watch this storyline.
I hate Kisha ‘s character. She is totally nasty. A real black man wouldn’t put up with her ********. Hurry up and write her off the show.
I LOVE FOR BETTER OR WORSE BUT THEY SURE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT KISHER SHE GET AWAY WITH EVER THING I LIVE TO SEE THE DAY WHEN SHE GET HER MR PERRY RE-WRIGHT HER PART SHE IS NASTY DONT LIKE HER

Angie, I agree that the ratings would improve if it were on TBS. We watched all of Tyler Perry’s shows when they were on TBS.
I refuse to pay to watch it on OWN.

I love for better or worse. And I do not believe it should be cancelled.
I love Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse. I think this is one show that should be saved! Please please DON”T CANCEL IT!
I agree this show was one I looked forward to on Wednesday where it should have stayed. Dateline doesn’t get it for me!!
This show was so bad when it started. I don’t know if it has improved in any way, but I don’t care to watch it now. House of Payne never got great, but it at least improved somewhat by the end of its run. Meet the Browns was the best of Perry’s shows because the drama wasn’t heavy-handed and it had Brown, who is hilarious.
I totally agree. The past season was horrible. The horrible script to the tired laugh tracks. OMG, the Keisha storyline! That was way over the top. I stopped watching.
I really liked “Meet The Browns” and “House of Payne” but since all of Tyler Perry’s sitcoms are on OWN, I am not able to watch them. I really wish he would return his shows to TBS so that I would not have to pay extra. (I have DirecTV and they charge for OWN.) Although I like Tyler Perry’s sitcoms and movies, I will not pay OWN or any other network just to be entertained. I only have basic DirecTV and I cannot afford a penny more. Oh well, I will continue to wish him well while I not watch… Read more »
