re: Why do we hate Skyler White with such purple passion?

She was a bitch from the get go.

Actually he was the bitch and she was always 100% right to shite on Walt. He was the one who quit on life b/c he was bitter about Grey Matter. He was a brilliant scientist and instead of going out and getting a job at a rival company that would utilize his talents he curled up into a ball and became a teacher at a mediocre public school and then somehow had the gall to be bitter about his situation when it was completely his making. Then when he got his second chance his stupid prideful arse refused to take the job at Grey Matter that would have paid him tons of money and completely covered his cancer treatments with their company insurance.

Instead he decided to be a complete a-hole and get involved in making meth. Not only that, once again his pride got in the way and he wanted everyone to know he was the top dog who made it which is what put a target on his back in the first place. Everything bad that happened to their family was directly b/c Walt was full of himself. Skyler only even got involved with his meth dealings b/c she was trying to make the best of the shite arse situation he put the family in.

I'll take it a step further and even say he straight up deserved to get cheated on by her. It's not like he ever gave a shite about what was best for her or the family so why should she care about his feelings at that point? He even said so himself in the last episode that he did it all for himself b/c he liked the way it made him feel. He didn't do it for the family even though he lied to her and himself about that. It was always all about him. People get confused that he's the hero b/c the show follows Walt but in the end he is the bad guy. He fricks over everyone he interacts with and makes everyone's life worse off than it was before (and that's if they were lucky enough to survive).
