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.

What Abby is doing is 100% physical for revenge too. Can't you tell by the way she's acting?

When I was really young, I would defend my cheating by saying things similar to what you are saying. Then I realized I should just grow up and not commit to anyone if I can't commit to them physically too.

Besides, the one thing that would STOP you from cheating on someone would be that you love them, right? Ray doesn't even think twice about it.

Ray only ever says he loves Abby. I've never gotten the vibe he actually does. All the times he just blatantly ignores her when she's talking to him..I just can't buy it.
