I agree with this. I kept finding myself wanting Phil to just tell everyone to frick themselves and that he never wanted the marriage to begin with. Instead they had him come in genuine and say it.

And the only reason he got married in the first place was because he wanted to have sex and Carol wouldn't do it unless she was married.

So much of the premise of this show is based around a single primal need: sex. They call it marriage or sex or "repopulation," but it's all the same thing, and it drives the plot. So while Phil comes off as unlikable a lot of times, he's doing what most of us likely would in that situation (or at least where his intentions come from).
