I know there are many times when I feel Debra was justified in being angry or hurt, then there are times when I felt it wasn't warranted.
For example, last night the episode abt the auction when Ray made jokes while Debra was holding the little curio as it was falling apart in her hands. She was pissed when they were home. I felt that wasn't a reason to be mad. He was making light of the situation. I don't think he was out of line nor was he making fun of Debra. I can see if he said something relating to her cooking, how she dresses, something personal like that.
IMO, he was funny as hell. :lol:

I think she had a right to be mad, I know I would have been! If he was a friend... she shouldn't have cared.. but he was her HUSBAND!

Yeah i agree too. I think it was justified. I mean its her husband, He's suppose to be the one to make her feel better not be the one that makes her feel worse about her self. If anything, if that was me I would of been worse then Debra. Honestly I think she handeled it well. She made him learn it on his own. I would of came out and said something to him or I would of got him. So I think Debra IS justified!!

for the most part I agree that Debra has reason to be mad at Ray's stupidity. but there are some occasions when she takes it too far.
In the case of the auction, while I understand her embarassment, I think had the roles been reversed, she probably would've laughed at Ray.
Another instance where she went too far was the T-Ball thing. When she attacked Ray for not supprotiing her right or wrong, she was asking too much. it isn't as though she supports Ray right or wrong.
Also, while the "swing Dancing" episode is mnostly Ray's fault, being such a shlub that he can't even take his wife out- I don't get how Debra and Robert didn't get why he felt jealous- as if a man's wife and brother never got together before.
What I never got about the show is how Debra never took Marie fully to task for the straight-up evil things she'd do. I mean everytime Marie would go into those "I just want us to be a family" excuses I want Deb to strangle her.
