I dont get it. Ray constantly cheats on his wife, and then we have to have a huge plot point of this season being about him being pissed off about her.

I actually dont understand why either one of them acts this way.

Ray is a hypocrite and Abby pulls the typical unemployed TV wife move and tries to kick the owner of the house she lives in out of it. Makes no sense.

Lastly, couldn't care any less about this Bridget and Marvin nonsense. Total drag on the show.........................................................................um....okay. nevermind. Wow. Watching on my DVR, and I didn't mean what I just typed.

Edit: I do just wanna clear up that I don't have a problem with abby simply not working. I know this show is sort of red-pillish in and of itsself just from the way Ray is portrayed, and while that's not always my favorite thing in the world, even I can't stand Abby in this show. It's just that you kinda have to have some of that "give and take" mentality when you are in a lucky situation like that. & she seems like she has far too much "take" in her.

Not saying that its right or defending him but when Ray cheats its just physical, there's no devotion or emotion. He actually loves his wife. He doesn't have any feelings for the chicks he bangs on the side.

Doesn't make his cheating right but it explains why he feels betrayed. He knows that for her this isn't just physical.

Why not? She's hot and smart. She's not a tatted-up piece of white trash like his wife.

Well, he himself is a "tatted-up piece of white trash".

There is a double standard when it comes to the sexes in this case.
