Did Grissom do right by Sara when they jumped the broom?

Gil Grissom's (Petersen) two decades spent fighting crime isn't an issue for loyal "CSI" followers, but the fans do remain divided when it comes to whether or not Gil did right by Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox) when they were married. "I love Grissom, but Sara almost died more times than I can count on one hand and he never seemed to care," Redditor u/octoberpanda posted. "She's been shot, stalked, targeted, potentially contracted an 80% lethal disease, etc. Even before they separated he never made an appearance."

"I don't know about everyone else, but I thought Grissom was a great husband," u/Tricky-Royal3950 wrote. "I'm a huge Grissom/Sara fan and I still agree, he was a pretty terrible off-screen husband," u/ThisOldMeme weighed in on the debate. Another Redditor couldn't have cared less about Grissom and his sometimes beloved. "I hated the relationship with a fiery passion, so I was fine with him being a lousy husband," u/Intrigued_by_Words commented.

But Redditor u/Stellaaahhhh arguably nailed down the issue by admitting both characters aren't without their faults, which ultimately contributed to the problems in their marriage. Operating under that assumption, it seems the "CSI" writing team would be more to blame for Grissom and Sara's debilitated union than Grissom himself. U/Filmfan-2022 also pointed out that an unnamed writer who worked on Season 13 was allegedly caught up in a divorce and added that angle to the storytelling to create another obstacle for Sara.
