Thumbs down Donna was a hypocrit

I think Donna was a hypocrit in the episode where she brought one of her patients to the house and him and Fred almost got into a fight. Her "patient"
was openly flirting with her in front of Fred, told her he'd like to take her to the grand canyon, bragged about how much time they spent together, and even showed off the watch he brought her as a present. Fred welcomed this man as a guest in his home, and the whole time he was there he was completely disrespectful to Fred, and yet Donna did not once tell him to stop. (She even slow danced with him) Then when Fred finally had enough and tried to fight the guy, Donna yelled at Fred and tried to call off the engagement. That episode made me completely dislike her character.

I think Donna liked the idea of two men fighting over her.

Not only that, but she ended up leaving with the dude and didn't hear Fred's side of the story. You're right, he was disrespectful to fred in his home. I don't care if he was a "sick" patient, she shouldn't have brought him over there.

Yeah, Donna ran hot and cold. Sometimes she was so caring and concerned about Fred, and other times she was completely unreasonable, unfair and angered quickly about the littlest thing.

But undoubtedly, the nastiest of all classic TV girlfriends was Andy Griffiths, Helen Crump! She was a witch.

Fred was amazingly tolerant of her foibles, that's for sure. One of the only times I think Fred got back at her was during the reading of his will when he said she was an average kisser because she doesn't hug hard enough.
