Synopsis/Details

Blake seems to have it all—a thriving career, beautiful twins, a handsome husband, and a picture-perfect life. But everything unravels when she discovers David’s affair. Devastated and questioning her own self worth, she retreats to her mother’s house and dives headfirst into therapy, self-improvement fads, and desperate attempts to “fix” herself, including spinning out about vaginal regeneration.

When David begs for another chance, they agree to try couples therapy—and 10 dates designed to reignite the spark in their marriage.
What begins as awkward and painful slowly transforms into a rollercoaster of reconnection, jealousy, and comic chaos. From a trying to relive their glory days at a concert, to a nudist hot spring, from erotic dinner parties to role-playing at Strip Karaoke, Blake and David rediscover both passion and pain. Just as they seem to be getting closer, resentment boils over. They experiment with dating others, explore wild sides, and test boundaries. But underneath it all, Blake begins to realize that maybe the problem isn’t just between them—it’s inside a system of sacrifice and silence she’s been complicit in.

When she finds out David has rekindled his affair, Blake finally walks away—for good. In the ashes of heartbreak, she rebuilds from the inside out: reclaiming her voice, chasing her career dreams, and learning to love the woman she’s become. And just when she’s no longer looking for love, it finds her.

10 Dates with My Husband is a bold, modern rom-com about heartbreak, motherhood, sex, and self-discovery—funny, raw, and ultimately, a love story about the most important relationship of all: the one you have with yourself.
