Gladly helping your boss evade taxes but completely cutting off your husband because he cooked some meth? Yikes.

Edit: SPOILER: And then cheating on him with said boss and tells Walter straight up.

    TBH I think Skyler's a really good character, and part of that is she's kind of a shitty partner at the start. She's a total narc (she throws a shitfit about her kid getting drunk, about pot, about shoplifting) but she's also not working despite them clearly being a poor family. But then you kind realize why she's doing it-Walt's a genius working way below what he should be doing, and that's rubbed off on Skyler so much that she's doing a similar thing.

      Skyler is a well written character but you're 100% she's a shitty partnerand you shouldn't like her. Also if Walt is bad then Breaking Bad is copaganda.

      Isn't Walter unhappy about Skyler suggesting she go back to work? It was my impression that he pushed her into a stay-at-home role early on in their marriage. Maybe pushed is a strong word, but he definitely exerted some influence over her decision to be a stay at home mom.

        His whole scheme is basically to remain the family's sole breadwinner even after he's dead, so i'd say you're on to something there. It's not as if Skyler would need him to provide for the kids, and that scares him more than the cancer.

      Yes she is a great character but that doesn't make her any less of an asshole, just like Walt's the biggest dickhead in the whole series.
