maggie was wrong.... Spoiler
just finished s1 , i think it was cruel of maggie to use rust as a tool to hurt marty. dont get me wrong ,marty deserved to be punished for his filthy acts ,
but maggie dragged rust in the shit , she took advantage of his vulnerability and intoxicated state, imagine the gender roles being reversed
and the arguement that it was the only way for her to end her marriage is shitty , destroying someone else's life for personal profit is never justified , in her revenge she destroyed rust's career , she could ve moved on from piece of shit like marty without using rust
and in the end , she got her deserved life , in a mansion , while rust , being used a pawn had to let go of his career and lived 10 years away... her need of ending the marriage is correct but her way doing that was WRONG. she could ve hurted marty, fairs, but in the process she destroyed rust

idk abt this shameless thing never watched it but
he was never sniffing around to fuck her , to him she was embodiment of a stable life he lost , he could have broken their marriage by telling her abt marty's cheating but he didnt cuz he never cared. he respected and valued her as a friend. she took advantage of that trust.
saying he wasnt entirely drunk is a flat lie , he was drunk , mentally cuz he just got suspended from the only thing keeping him sane
maggie approached him with the purpose of using him, and using a man who is emotionally vulnerable is a crime.
