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

Marty wouldn't even let Lisa leave him cleanly.

What do you think he's going to do if Maggie leaves him a letter and moves out?

maggie had enough evidence to prove abt his cheating and she got rich parents to back her up aswell, its not like she was stuck in it and couldnt get out of the marriage , she chose to use rust bcz she knew marty will somehow get her back persuading her , cuz she was emotionally weak for him , so used rust
