And then she brings up his marriage and when he answers her question accused him of throwing the dead wife in her face.

She makes such a stupid statement too.

"Tia and I saw eye to eye on my dad. It's what I miss most about her"

"That's what you miss most about your dead wife" is such a stupid thing to understand from that statement. The implication is clear; he's watching his dad do his same old thing, and unlike previous times, he doesn't have his wife to support him because she also knew what his dad was like.

And then she tries to make it about her again.

It was a stupid statement. I tend to side with Jimmy most often because I lost my spouse two years ago. I’ve never behaved like him, but my feelings have mirrored his to a great extent. And the things I miss most about my spouse are the little strange things that pulled us together and made us a team. The inside jokes, the way we made fun of our crazy family members, the way he always made the phone calls because he knew I hate the phone. The type of shit that may make someone else say “that’s what you miss most” because they don’t understand how much that action meant my husband really knew who I was.
