"A Tree Falls" was a great episode, Ross!

Well, I never said that Marie was more at fault than Jack was, nor that Jack didn't have any responsiblity for the deterioration and ending of his marriage, because I definitely think they BOTH share the blame. However, my main point is regarding Marie's behavior, and I still stand by the fact that she was a total bitch at the end. There was absolutely no reason for her to put Jack through that grueling interrogation in his office and bring up horrible demons from his past. To serve what purpose? Just her own personal satisfaction in seeing him crumble. Also, she made it seem like she was willing to work things out with him when he quit his job and was going to move with her and their children, when all the while, she had no freakin' intention of doing such a thing. IMO, she planned it all along, and to me, that's just hateful. Don't get me wrong, though. Like I mentioned before, I understand that an affair is an extremely painful and hurtful situation to go through (Believe me, I know, because I have been through it myself) and it can be very difficult thing to get past, if you're even able to. And, numerous times, I have called Jack an ass for what he did to Marie regarding the affair, and other things, but at the same time, I feel I can call Marie out on her behavior during the divorce.
