Who else couldn't stand Paul's wife?

I've only finished the first season. I think she's a decent woman trying to deal with someone who refuses to open up. She made some mistakes, but she's actively seeking resolution and Paul is just not at all helpful. He should have cancelled or postponed sessions and spent a lot of time with his wife, talk to her and fix the problems. Then deal with the kids. Instead he ignores her then attacks her.

Maybe in later seasons she gets worse, I dont know.

My husband showed the exact same reaction which strikes me as curious. What I saw was a woman who had become embittered over the years by the lack of communication and with no access to Paul's sanctuary (=his practice). She had been shut out for years & let herself become some sort of victim. She feels justified to cheat on him and even escape the marriage for a whole week, leaving not only Paul but also her children to fend for themselves. Being the adulteress in this relationship, this was the easiest way out for her to cope with her guilty feelings. But clearly in between there were some tiny signs of remorse and she tried to reach out to Paul. To me it seemed he was refusing these attempts, sealing the miserable end of their marriage. In couple's therapy she clearly came off as self-righteous, not putting herself in Paul's shoes and playing the offended one. But it was a sad way to learn of his feelings, he should've shared that with her sooner. Although my husband points out he didn't come to terms with his feelings for Laura until shortly before that shared session with Gina. Which rich, complex characters, with flaws and good sides and all. I found both people portrayed very realistically.

This thread is a perfect example of what IMDB used to be. I posted in here under IMDB a long time ago, and now found it and reading it back. No cursing, no politics, no trolls, some rather perceptive opinions and a generally very interesting discussion.

It is so sad to see the sewer that MovieChat has created in its place.
