didn't even imply that. i'm just comparing these two characters. i'm fine with people liking him/not liking her, what i don't understand is why they HATE her when she's mostly helped that druglord. plus it's just weird to hate a character who is living in fear. why are people cheering for her eventual comeuppance more than walt? "i hate cheaters", "she helped walt", and "she's kinda bitchy" etc. are all awful explanations that don't really hold up when examined.

cmon, she didn't know walt was in the meth business, but if anyone saw their significant other act the way he did for the months leading up to that they wouldn't just sit there and take it. cheating isn't really "cool" ever, but she knew something was up and gave him multiple chances to be honest with her. there's a reason she announced it to him so casually. it was just a move to even the scales in their relationship.
plus the affair did lead to her two badass moments: "I fucked Ted" and "Did he tell you about my affair?", but i digress.

i guess i just ready it as her weighing in on an ongoing discussion, i don't think she came across as whiny.
