Wrong! You are pregnant/postpartum. Your husband with cancer starts doing weird out of character shit even going missing. Only to find out he was making meth?! If anything she wasn’t angry enough!
I agree. She would have left Walter if they were real people. But because it’s a TV show, this character had to stay to serve the plot. And as a viewer you see that and it makes you hate how she was written in the second half of the show.
Ehhh, it’s not THAT uncommon for older couples to grow some resentment. The whole boomer, “I hate my wife” DOES come from somewhere, and spiteful people that are legally bound to each other will do all sorts of stupid shit before they split.
… Though usually it’s from people a little more shitty than Walt. The sort of people who turn into selfish egotists a little easier than getting a cancer diagnosis and a bag of cash. Granted, the show did a great job showing how they were both flawed and both had a touch of ego in their normal lives. Walt’s just happened to explode feeding off his resentment of his old business partner.
In Skyler’s defense, she was staying because she was an accessory after the fact, not that she was terribly OK with it. I’ve definitely seen people make that level of dumb decision before, and about as big of life decisions, too, with far less payout than millions of dollars and a viable laundering scheme!
It has been a while since I watched the show, but if I recall correctly, she wanted to leave initially; then, she decided that it would be bad for the family if Walter got caught, so she stayed to help him launder money 🤷 It seems to me, she was ready to split and even cheated to force Walter to let her go.
I am not a lawyer, but I suspect that the more she was getting involved, the worse it was getting for her and for the family - she had two kids for goodness’ sake! So whatever legal reason they brought in the show made little sense to me.

Yeah i agree. My hot take: she acted accordingly and the audience was biased towards walter
