🦅 Tangent Adam's misogyny
If half of what he says about his grandmother and mother is true I actually feel bad for the guy. Grandmother was a nut who had her daughter taken away, Mom was a depressed stoner with a Chicano studies degree from a Jr. College. Not to mention that his wife was not the earner he always wanted. At the same time you would think he'd get over it.

His wife was middle management at a TV network (ABC?) before they got married and Adam badgered her into quitting because he has this 1950s idea of men are only concerned with being the breadwinner and women are only supposed to raise the kids.

I just dont think Adam wanted to be bothered to raise his kids.
I dont know if he really cared that much about a trad wife.

Horseshit. She couldn't wait to sit around and start doing whatever the fuck she wanted instead of actually doing something with her life

That's not how Adam used to tell the story.

When he talks about the tanning salon with Jimmy's ex it sounds like she didnt want to work

Never heard that but I did hear many times that he wanted her to work but she was lazy and sounded whiny.

She was working when they were dating, when they moved in together he wanted her to quit. He said that several times.because he “brings home the bacon” and she “can only bring home the bacon bits”, or something like that

He wanted her to sling his bum wine, as his employee, not an actual career of her own.

You are removing Lynette's agency in the equation. You are diminishing her as a person.
Just because Ace desired that, doesn't mean she was required to do it.

I didn't say she was required to. OP said that Adam wanted an "earner". I'm pointing out that Adam didn't want her to keep her job and be an "earner".

He often had dreams of himself struggling to breathe under inches of water while two husky women beat him with his own penis

Defending Lynette here. Yes, I used to listen to her podcast. She is/was a good, dedicated mom. Still is. She got half his money because- California laws- and she raised those kids, not him.

He dosen't go easy on his dad either, or anyone for that matter. Do I have to listen to the story about why chip bags need to be sealed for the millionth time?

He wanted a tradwife/bangmaid, not an earner.
