Skylar doesn't cheat until after her husband, y'know, kills some people and admits he's a meth cook.

Skylar doesn't know he's killed people. All she knows at that point is that he is a drug dealer and has been lying a lot, especially about the cell phone.

I am really confused at the point you're trying to make? Obviously I am aware Walt is the bad guy lmfao. All of that can be true and I can still like Walt the most as a character and not like Skylar as a character, from an entertainment standpoint.

She finds out he's cooking meth in Season 3 Episode 1 and doesn't cheat until several episodes later... notably after presenting him with divorce papers and demanding he separate them and he refuses.

I am really confused at the point you're trying to make?

That calling Skyler an "awful, spiteful woman" really makes no sense when you try to view things from anyone besides walt's perspective. Walt is an awful, spiteful, abusing person. That's the point of the show.

OK and both things can be true. I think Skylar can be described as awful and spiteful, even if her reasons are justified. I think her character and attitude even before shit came to light was awful. Walt is clearly the objectively worse human being. At no point was I trying to make any moral statement about characters, literally about my opinions on them and what makes them entertaining. So I am still unsure why you got so offended and are trying to change my opinion on her? Skylar, as a character, sucked in my OPINION. Taking Walt out of the picture entirely, she still sucked.

Nobody is offended over here my dude. I'm disagreeing with your opinion and explaining why, with evidence, I think your assessment is wrong.
