Get Out While You Can, Doug
Listen, I understand no person or marriage is perfect. There is no doubt that Doug has his flaws.
That having been said, this dude has the patience and restraint of a saint...I try to be a pretty level-headed, compromising gentleman towards the ladies (mother, sister, significant other, etc)...However, even I think that by now I would have snapped and called it quits if I had to deal with Jamie's constant nagging and berating.
She faults him for not being invested in her family...Why? They live six hours away and all she does every episode or two is talk about how dysfunctional her family was/is....If I was constantly hearing about how much baggage my in-laws were, I certainly would try to keep a healthy separation too.
Not to mention, let's remember how much s h i t this guy had to eat when the experiment first started. He got a front row seat to hear his wife imply he was ugly, a liar (the smoking thing), and a mooch (his parents paying certain bills)...How did he respond? He found it in his heart to forgive her cruel critiques...Meanwhile, he has to leave a wedding (which he voluntarily served as the celebrant at) to attend a MEMORIAL softball game planned a year in advance, and instead of showing him the same kindness, she chews his ass out at every turn.
She is a very pretty woman. But alas, the more this show goes on, the easier it is see why she was single for this long.
Cortney has her bitchy moments; Jamie is just a permanent one.
