Also that time Walt tried to rape her.

Tried? She said something like "she wasn't strong enough to keep him out of her bed" or something that I took to mean he pretty much did.

I more meant the time Walt came home and Skyler had the green face clay poo poo on and he tried to bend her over the kitchen counter while she was repeatedly saying no and trying to shove him away and then Walt Jr comes home and sees the face clay poo poo smeared all over the fridge.

Walt's birthday handjob in the pilot seemed fairly voluntary all around, if a little sad and underwhelming, though it got cut in all the subsequent airings didn't it?

It was not not not so great
There's the actual sexual assault sometime in season 5A. Following the line "when we do what we do [for us, it's good]" or something like that.

A big part of that is the writing. Notice how Kim very clearly did not ask what Jimmy was doing at the Dog House at 1 AM. She is smart enough to know that something is going on, but decides to not persue it. If Walt were to stumble home with bruises at 1 AM, you could bet that Skyler would demand a full explanation immediately.
How loving dare that woman want to know why her husband got beaten up!

This dude murders people a lot in his line of work as a meth kingpin who sells poison to people who don't care, and he's awesome and correct, but a concerned wife who wants what's best for her and her family is a bitch and the real problem for asking such unreasonable questions as "where the gently caress did you disappear to for days?"

Say what now?
Being a meth kingpin is an exciting job that I want to watch. Being a nagging housewife is not. In real life Skylar is totally justified in asking where Walt was. In the show she is a boring interlude between meth adventures.

How the gently caress do you watch the entirety of Breaking Bad and think that Skyler is just a "nagging housewife?" What's more, if we accept that premise, why watch a show where the writing and/or acting of an absolutely essential character is that one-dimensional and grating?

If you just want Crazy Drug Adventures I'm sure there are plenty of shows that can scratch that itch and are bereft of strong female characters and/or family drama.

Yeah when he tried to bang her against the fridge against her will that wasn’t *~*actual*~* sexual assault.

Take your pervert war elsewhere.
The conflict between Walt & Skyler is really similar to the conflict between Jimmy & Chuck. One of them, the protagonist, is clearly dangerous with questionable morals, but we love them and sympathize with them and want them to win regardless. The other character is morally upstanding, but rough around the edges when it comes to personality, the complete opposite and the foil to the protagonist.

It's not an outright identical similarity. Skyler was probably never considered a main antagonist, while Chuck proudly took on that spotlight. But the fundamentals of the conflict are there. A sympathetic antihero at odds with an unlikable antivillain.

I hate this comparison because Skyler never once worked against Walt when he was genuinely attempting to better himself.

The camera panning underneath the desk when Kim was at work, for the love of god show, please don't make Kim cheat on Jimmy with Schweikart. That plot is overused as is, but when Jimmy just lost his brother as bad as the blood was between them, it looks absolutely loving spiteful on her part.

Skyler hater fan fiction:
The show opens Walt kicking the door to his own home open. He pulls out a gun and shoots Sklyer and Walt Jr. "Consider this a divorce, bitch!"
Jesse bursts in, his eyes wide in disbelief? "Mr. White, I thought you were just going to serve divorce papers?!?"
Walt: No half measures, Jesse.
Jesse: What do we do now?
Walt: It's time to push the limits, Jesse.

Unless she actually shows up on BCS no more Skylar talk.
