  Also, the way that she apologizes to Dean for answering his phone is so heartbreaking. It lowkey reminds me of how someone might attempt to placate an emotionally or physically abusive partner to avoid a blow up

  I actually felt bad for Lindsay. She tried so hard to make Dean happy, when in reality, he was the problem.

  It’s interesting hearing the point that Lindsay’s mom is way too involved in her daughter’s life when Lorelei is way too involved in Rory’s life. One mom pushed for her daughter to be a housewife and one pushed for her daughter to be an Ivy League student. And you see in that confrontation with the moms how the two of them just stand there silently upset.

  Lindsey was never the villain. Rory was. It boggles my mind that we pick the mistress' side after everything she did to destroy their marriage. Dean is the worst husband and Lindsey deserved better.

  A bad wife not even close. Dean was the bad husband. <br><br>I think she was naive due to being young. Since they were married young, the house makes sense. <br><br>The 50s housewife comment from Dean in the earlier seasons holds truth here. Lindsey becomes just that when she married Dean. She stays home and cooks for a man that expects that instead of appreciates it. I am fine with her being a stay at home wife. What I am not fine with is that she has to walk around eggshells with Dean and gets yelled at when she asks valid questions. <br><br>He just yells at her a lot and I hated his treatment of her. She did nothing wrong.

  in my opinion, you can see the change in Lindsays personality. when we first see her, shes clearly confident and secure with herself around her friends and at that time; Dean. her parents definetely must have been controlling but outside of the house she was a well conditioned person. I don&apos;t think she was forced into the marriage but rather saw it as a chance of independence while making her parents happy. but when she got married to dean, she realises its just another controlling environment she can never please, and she slowly loses that confidence she radiated before.

  No matter what we think of Lindsay,dean and rory betrayed her. Adultery isn&apos; t right just because somebody doesn&apos; t like Lindsay.

  I ALWAYS sided with Lindsey here and felt awful for her. I was shocked and appalles when Rory and Dean slept together and I hated that entire storyline. When Dean goes home and Lindsey was so happy the meal she made actually tasted good just made me feel so sorry for her. And I thought about what a jerk Dean was.<br><br>While I think what Rory did was horrible, Dean did lie to her. Told her his marriage was over. That it wasn&apos;t working. Etc. Dean is the true villain here. He lied and cheated. <br><br>That said, Rory knew he was married and should have said that they can&apos;t be together until he&apos;s divorced. <br><br>The whole situation is terrible and poor Lindsey. She was a sweet girl who was trying to be a good wife to her husband who was in love with someone else.

  I hate the “she does nothing” and “why doesn’t she get a job?” Part. They agreed to be a traditional couple. He goes to work. She handles the whole house. Being a stay at home mom is not nothing. It’s a lot of freaking work and raising humans is a lot of work. Then he decided he didn’t want that anymore so we’re supposed to think it’s ok that he cheated. It’s so dumb. Lindsey was highly misrepresented in this show in order to make Dean seem justified for cheating. She tried to make him happy. And he only used her as a rebound. Her reaction was fine considering she just got married and cheated on and is so embarrassed. I feel so bad for her. Dean is a jerk. There’s no other way to see it in my opinion.

  I&apos;m so glad you made this video! Lindsay was such a disrespected character by both Dean and Rory. The only thing &quot;wrong&quot; with Lindsay is that she wasn&apos;t Rory. As much as I love the Gilmore Girls (and that extends to THE gilmore girls lorelai and rory), I can also 100% acknowledge how Rory and Dean were completely in the wrong for what they did to Lindsay.
