All the “bad” things she does in the show are a result of Walt being uncommunicative and/or getting involved with violent criminals. If Walt just accepted Elliot’s job offer and got a legal income, Skyler would’ve still love him
shes ugly and a cunt
>>223220457She acts cunty because Walt starts acting distant and unreachable out of nowhere. Imagine your husband of 15 years got terminal cancer and his solution was to become a degenerate drug dealer.
>>223220437She laundered the money. She was a co conspiritor. The writers really fucked up her inconsistent character.
>>223220437The title "Breaking Bad" refers exclusively to Walt.Nowhere ever in the show is it suggested the title also refers to Skylar, Jesse, Saul or Mike.
>>223220457/thread
>>223220943It also refers to JesseAs per the phrase "break bad" in the show
>>223220514It's also the fact Walt is hiding stuff while giving her shit for stuff like her own "secret" smoking.
>>223220514She was a cunt before anything even happened. She was a very performative wife. She only acted nice to him if people were watching. Then shed be a control freak if he was doing something she didnt like, like him "buying weed".

>>223220992Well the smoking was going to give them another disabled child
>>223220437Not exactly.Women tend to get bored way more easily than men do.She still would have fucked ted regardless.She would have wanted thr attention that her timid husband doesnt give her. Or at least she feels he doesnt give her. He gives the same amount he always did. That amount that once won her heart and soul.But they both changed over the years.That lackluster handjob set the tone for things. She was disinterested before he even got sick. She would have stayed with him but been looking for escape no matter what he did.Thats how women are. Its a sad reality. But its true.
>>223220437>Be housewife >Your son is autistic or some shit>Husband on terminal cancer and a drug kingpinYou'd be cunty too
>>223221017Man that millennial woes quote was so right
>>223221177That doesn't explain why she's a cunt (and ugly) before the plot begins>son has disability>mother most affectedU a hoe
>>223220437It literally doesn't even matter how moral any of the characters actions are. She gets in the way of the main character and is therefore annoying.
>>223220437Except her bitchiness I'm the beginning before even the cancer diagnosis.>Lame handjob for birthday and won't even put the laptop down>hen pecking over bullshit like which credit card to use for shit they needed anyway
>>223221020Yeah and odds are she was smoking and drinking during her first pregnancy. Her toxic womb doesn't exactly have a good score
>>223221051This. No self respecting married woman does the happy birthday thing for her boss for the whole office to gossip about. Odds are they were fucking long before she throws herself at him as "revenge"
>>223223981It was Walt. He was poisoned at Los Alamos.
>>223220720It's a practicality of being a TV show. The story would have worked best if she didn't find out until Gus dies, but then she'd be completely irrelevant and have no reason to be on screen at all for most of the show. That's why TV is a trash medium.
>>223221051This. Skylar was with Walt and I'm sure part of her had feelings for him simply because they're married and he's the father of her children, but she did not have a genuine desire for him. There were instances of it, like when they fuck in the car in the school parking lot, but by that time Walt had shifted into the criminal life and gained the confidence and bravado she desired. If Walt had just taken the money, kept his head down, and toed the line, even if he were cured and went to live on the rest of his natural life, she would eventually cheat on him. That unenthusiastic handjob is the mark of a woman that is not attracted to her husband. Does it out of obligation.
>>223220720They captured a typical woman's lack of accountability pretty accurately. She was willingly there when it meant money and power for herself, then clutched pearls and cried like a victim of Walt when it caught up to them.
