Is it just me.....or is Peter ANNOYING!

I watch hot in cleveland and I really love that show, I will, on occasion watch Happily divorced once in a while, not as good as hot in cleveland but still amusing. Does anyone else find Peter really annoying?? I mean sometimes I think the show would be better WITHOUT the gay husband always stalking around and bossing her around, I know its supposed to be about a divorced man and woman but very very few women would allow their ex, especially if he lied for years and years about being gay, basically stealing her youth and betraying her life and destroying it, most women would want to kill him! the fact he lives there is unrealistic. They should have him move out and become more of a character actor, with less scenes, and make her the major focus, the gay card is really getting old and stale anyway, seeing him prance around all the time. I think the show of HER being a divorced woman trying to put her life back together would be better, does anyone agree??

Aw I find Peter adorable and funny. He's my favorite character.

The scary man killed the attractive crying man.

Its not that I dislike him but does he have to be in almost EVERY scene?? Like "checking out" Fran's dates and prancing around? I hope too see MORE of her and Elliot in the future, they have great chemistry and he is a "man's man" and she deserves it. I hear in real life Fran Dresher married a gay man and did not know for awhile! I hope she find happiness with a real man off AND on the show!!

You hear? That sounds so "maybe, maybe not"?? This show is about Fran Dresher real life turned into a comedy series. After being married for 21 yrs her she & real life husband Peter divorced. He later came out as Gay.

Just for the record, I'm not a Dude, I'm a Dudette!

describing that their situation is actually not unrealistic at all!

He has become way too annoying

"especially if he lied for years and years about being gay, basically stealing her youth and betraying her life and destroying it, most women would want to kill him!"

Well, as a gay guy, I have to say that I'm lucky that I live in this current generation. I mean, society still has a long way to go. I still get death threats. But that's beside the point. But I imagine that if it were 30 years ago, I would've probably forced myself to marry a woman bc of the world. Not just family pressure, but everything.

He didn't aim to lie to her and betray her. He grew up in a different generation. It can be argued that even today, gay men are pressured to marry women. My friend actually came out to his parents last year. He is 27. His parents are still introducing him to women, hoping to change his mind.

Granted things were much harder for gay people decades ago, and it is understandable that they wanted to "fit in" by getting married, it is still completely and utterly dishonest and horrible to do that to someone else.

Men and women do NOT have to get married AT ALL, and did NOT have to get married decades ago either. Yes, there would have been other stigmas that that decision would have brought, but at the very least someone else's life wouldn't have been ruined just so a gay person could hide who they were and/or fit in to the perceived notion society has for people.

What's worse, remaining single and screwing someone on the sly in secret, or marrying someone you have no sexual attraction to, who DOES have sexual attraction to you, allowing them to devote decades of their life to you before you then divorce them when society's views toward gay people is more accepting?

Personally, I think if you're so selfish as to lie to someone, crap all over your vows even as you are saying them, just to make YOURSELF feel better/feel like you fit in to society, with NO regard to the person you are marrying, then you have no business getting married in the first place.

Yeah, I get that things are tough when you're gay and yadda yadda yadda but Jesus. That doesn't give ANYONE the right to screw over someone else's life to make themselves feel better!
