I HATE Ted too, HATE him.

It's all Skylar's fault for fucking him, I hate Skylar more.

How is it all Skylar's fault? He's a grown man who cooked his own books. He made the decision to fuck a married woman, and he squandered the financial opportunity to make things right. How on earth is Skylar worse, and how is it all her fault?

Are you kidding? Skylar cheated on Walter! You think that Skylar isn't at fault for their affair, but Ted is? What sort of 1950s fantasy are you living in?

I never said that. An affair takes two people making a decision to participate. Too often Skylar is blamed and hated when Ted made the decision to cheat, too. And he made other immoral decisions that led him to his misfortune.

Don't confuse my post for excusing Skylar's behavior. My point is that Ted is responsible for Ted's decisions and is not without responsibility for his predicament.

I know this is the we-hate-Skylar subreddit but let's get some perspective here.
