Avery Stinson is a successful artist and runs a gallery along with her sister Kat and Kat's boyfriend Hugh. But Avery is still haunted by the tragic auto accident that took the life of her husband Jesse. Now, a new man, Alex, and come into her life after assisting in the rescue of Avery's little boy Jack during a kidnapping attempt. Without knowing much about Alex's past, Avery has rushed to the altar, and now must face the truth about the secrets of Alex's past.

One of those secrets is that Alex is still married to a woman named Melanie, who just keeps showing up throughout the film, despite an apparent restraining order. Melanie is clearly unhinged, yet Alex keeps defending her. "We had a history," he tells Avery, as if that will justify his bad behavior as a liar and a bigamist.

The characters in "My Husband's Secret Life" were a motley crew indeed. With the exception of the well-balanced sister Kat and the nice mom, Lisette, the other characters were edgy and erratic. Hugh seemed devoted to Avery at the art studio, but he also seemed to have had some past involvement with Melanie. Alex has to be the most incompetent attorney on the planet, based on his inability to argue his own case to his two wives. Even Avery, a pill popper, is capable of coming unglued at any moment.

The filmmakers kept up a lively pace to the film. But poor little Jack may require years of therapy after being tossed around like a hot potato. As an artist, Avery's masterpiece was the lifelike sculpture of the winged horse Pegasus. In the film's denouement, Avery was wise in standing behind the horse and rejecting the overtures of another suitor who could bring more misery to her fragile psyche.

This movie started with some promise well as much promise as there can be in a Lifetime movie. The plot killed this movie, it made no sense. Adoption and fostering are options. Who does what they planned? Sigh, this could have been better. The child too had no input save a few lines. Was he supposed to be about i year old ? He just seemed clueless and could have been better used. Awful all round.

This is quite a well made thriller with an attractive cast and an above average story for a Lifetime thriller. Helena Mattson who is very pretty plays a widow with a young son. She marries a man after a whirlwind romance. But as the title suggests he has a wife already. Brianna Evigan plays the wacko wife quite well. Things progress to an expected showdown but the way things unfold is exciting and the acting is pretty good. All that for a little boy?

Helena's real life sister plays her sister here.

Worth watching.

First of all the whole premise of the movie fails in the beginning. He didn't change his identity they wouldn't have been able to get a wedding license and the whole wedding wouldn't have happened. Then during the whole movie everyone still treats him as husband even though he can't be because he is already married.

The guy catches wife changing pills and says hold on I am going to turn my back to you and call the police. Promise you won't kill me while my back is turned.

She is told in the beginning that he only loves her for her kid and she doesn't immediately suspect he is just trying to steal her kid. She just lets everything slide like nothing happened. It is all very stupid.

I am also getting very tired of the writers crutch of oh my cell phone doesn't work around here. There are very few places now a days where a cell phone won't work stop writing that crap.
