Mrs. Homie and I watched this a few years ago. I don’t know if there were only a few episodes, or if we lost interest. The protagonist was a young woman, in an unhappy relationship with her boyfriend. They meet at a restaurant where she plans to break up with him, only he produces a ring. She turns him down, he’s crushed, and as he’s getting into his car to drive off, he’s run over or something and killed. So then she has to play the role of the grieving widow (of a sort), and she can’t bear to tell the man’s mom, who was extremely invested in their relationship, that she bad broken up with him minutes before he died.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?
