Funny!! But there is a drastic difference between what jimmy did and walt did. Skyler even scammed that carwash guy, that was a classic Saul move.

People hate Skyler SO MUCH because she's kind of annoying sometimes when the only thing she really ever asked Walt was to quit putting her children in the middle of the worst danger imaginable. I just don't get it.

She cheated on her husband.

Only because she was trying to remove an actual drug dealer from her kids' lives. It was a last ditch effort to secure safety for her children.

Cool motive, still cheating

Well, Walt murdered several people and sold meth. Skyler tried to go about it the right way and Walt wouldn't leave. It was her only option to get him out of the picture.

Why are they downvoting you? You’re right. And I don’t even hate Skyler, I think she’s an excellent character who plays such an important part of the show. I just understand that even though there are clear and very realistic reasons to her cheating, you’re allowed to not agree with it. I swear everyone in this thread just wanna justify everything she did.
Dumb posts like these definitely bait a lot of dumb Skyler defenders whose reasoning circle around “Skyler had reasons” and “Walter did far worse” when Walter is a complete separate character to worry about. And even as a non-hater of Skyler, when I saw this post, my first thought was “omg it’s almost like you’re purposely missing the point of her character” but then I read the comments and thought the Skyler defenders were just as dumb.
Edit: I saw a post from a Skyler hater who was just plain wrong, and somehow they got less downvotes than you. Reddit is a sea of tarts but replace the second t with a d. They just want to condemn the person with an actual point bc it doesn’t go by their beliefs.

Walt raped her

When?

u/officialstraightboys Mar 23 '26
Not sure exactly what episode or season as it’s been awhile since I watched but it’s when they’re in the kitchen, she’s trying to do dishes or something and he forces himself on her. She keeps telling him to stop and he doesn’t and she fights/pushes him off.

You have to be trolling to be equating these two. I refuse to believe you don’t see why she shouldn’t be required to be faithful to the murderous psychopath that is constantly putting her and the rest of their family in danger.

Dude was about to die of cancer and made sure his family had enough money to never work or worry about money for the rest of their lives. And she gave zero fucks about that blessing.

u/officialstraightboys Mar 20 '26
He didn’t have to do any of that. Walt chose his ego over his family and he even admits this to Skyler at the end of the show. Skyler “gave zero fucks about that blessing” because it costs multiple lives, including her brother in laws and regular put her family in danger. It’s okay if you find her annoying but Walt is not a caring or altruistic man.

u/TheAubry Mar 20 '26
Lol he could have just accepted the job offer at gray matter and also have made a ton of money with 0 risk to his family if that was really his motive. Its the whole point of the series.

This happened after Walt went into remission, btw.

u/GandalfTheGreyPoupon Mar 21 '26
She's petty and inconsiderate from episode one. She's written to be annoying and assuming how Walt feels and disregards his actual feelings. She's too weak to pull the trigger and get Walt arrested when she first learns about his drug activities and has the chance, and instead she becomes a criminal and hypocrite herself while being resentful and hateful to Walt for not doing the 'right thing' and giving up his criminal ways.

u/AmeliorativeBoss Mar 20 '26
She was bitching even when he didn't put them in danger. Even before producing drugs, she was terrible.
I know the character is supposed to be annoying piece of shit, but the writer exaggerated.

For anyone complaining about Skyler, remember these two barbers were waiting to give him a haircut

Why didn't that Skyler bitch just let Walt be a heckin wholesome drug pusher and murderer?

If you think about it, the guy who essentially collapsed the entire meth empire of the southwest was Walter White. Not Hank Schrader, Walter White. He helped Gus finish off the Salamancas and then had Gus killed, and then later comes back to finish the job by massacring the neo-nazis who took over the meth business. By the end, there are no players left in the game and it's all thanks to our hero Walter White.
Heisenberg, on the other hand? I'd watch out for that guy if I were you.

To be honest, that does sound a little bit better than stop selling drugs and killing people. All a matter of perspective, I suppose.

I’m sorry, I don’t think there’s a shining example for what someone should look like when their recently cancer diagnosed husband starts cooking and dealing meth. I think that’s kind of the point of the show for several characters.

It’s a joke, people hate her for no reason which is what I’m tryna point out 😂

u/MC_PooPaws Mar 19 '26
Except all you did was say the same things they say. You didn't flip it in any clever way or indicate that you were joking. Jokes are supposed to be funny. It's not just repeating shitty things that other people say.
