Let me ask the people who side with Miranda over Daniel these questions:


If a loving wife and mother found out that her callous husband wanted to divorce her on their son's birthday.
Don't you think that you would have sided with her?
And if a joyless workoholic husband drooled over another woman and destroyed his son's birthday party?
Don't you think that you would have lambasted him?

It's funny, I never even considered the fact that she asked for a divorce on their kid's birthday. Having said that, I always found Miranda to be miserable. The worst we saw him do was quit his job to go to his kid's birthday.

reply

But I don't get why Miranda didn't talk to Daniel about it if she was so miserable.
Oh yeah, she decided to not talk to him because she looked down on him and wanted to exchange him for a "better" man.

Daniel decided to quit that job because he didn't think that a cartoon should teach kids to smoke.
That is really admirable to me.

reply

The fact that she found a man so soon after is telling about her character.

reply

Really, she was obviously drooling over him the same day that she demanded a divorce from Daniel.
So it's clear that she only took the birthday party as an excuse to be able to get another man into her panties.
