She was always making it clear that she had settled and that she thought she could've gotten a more successful husband if she had gone to college.

Yeah...that was a running theme. Doug knew she was way out of his league...and always was worrying she would realize it too.

And she kinda always did - she had that, one foot in and one foot out the door vibe and her character played that part depression - where she's always complaining about Doug and trying to improve him to make herself feel better about settling.

There are multiple episodes where she's so embarrassed when Doug tells her friends or co-workers that he drives a delivery truck. She's always saying, yeah but he's working on better things - this is just a stepping stone - and Doug's like - what? This is me.

Not that Carrie was awesome - she was a paralegal - not exactly the Supreme Court. But she was conceited and somewhat narcissistic but Doug always brought her back to earth.
