      But she also constantly emotionally abused him, made fun of his manhood, of his earning potential, of his sexual prowess, of his ability to be a father, witnessed him constantly suffering, somehow made that his fault, and yet expected sex from the man, expected him to please her.

      Like, he’s not any kind of a role model. His character was intentionally written to be despicable. But at the same time, like, holy fucking shit, he would have been so much happier if he had just divorced her. She would have been so much happier if she had just divorced him. It was entirely toxic. there are no redeeming qualities from any of the characters in this show.
