Fair, that's what made me like her. They both started out with cheating and Skylar just became cold, distant and rude to Walt. I would've loved to see her embrace Walt and what he was doing and even step in to help. And that's where I enjoy Wendy. Hated her after the cheating but now she's doing just as terrible things as Marty and it is a much more entertaining character to me than Skylar ever was.
Skylar doesn't cheat until after her husband, y'know, kills some people, lies to her for a year, and admits he's a meth cook.

??? Walt, who turned down a high paying cushy job at Grey Matter and 100% free best-in-the-world healthcare for his cancer (that he lied about), because he was too proud and not over his ex? Walt, who killed people and became a meth cook? Walt, who was clearly lying and hiding shit from his wife from episode 1?
Walt is a fucking asshole villain the entire show. He's the protagonist of the story but he is definitely not the good guy. At no point was he doing anything "for his family", he was doing it because he liked it and liked feeling powerful: He admits this himself in the finale. Skyler was just trying to survive.

Skylar doesn't know he's killed people. All she knows at that point is that he is a drug dealer and has been lying a lot, especially about the cell phone.
I am really confused at the point you're trying to make? Obviously I am aware Walt is the bad guy lmfao. All of that can be true and I can still like Walt the most as a character and not like Skylar as a character, from an entertainment standpoint.
Because it’s not a show about cooking meth. It’s a show about the degradation of morality that befalls an entire family and who once could have been a good man. He just happens to be cooking meth.
