  Oh my gosh I have been WAITING for the comparison.<br><br>Also definitely Tom annoyed me more. Only because Steve did less evil. Tom, after everything Lynette&apos;s ever done for him, was incredibly ungrateful. He can&apos;t even keep a house clean when she went to work. And then had the audacity to leave her for another woman at one point.

  I often think about the fact that Tom never once bought the pizza Lynette liked. It is a small thing but shows you exactly how he felt about her, that she wasn&apos;t important enough to him to even get her a pizza she actually liked?

  FYI, your thumbnails made me think that the video will be Ai too. You can easily make them<br>In Canva and not use Ai because I think lots of people don’t even click because the thumbnails are partly Ai. Love the video!

  Capable people know how to built and manage things. They are confident and take pride for this quality. &nbsp;Same thing becomes curse when they are surrounded with incapable people. I have seen it in marriage as well as work place. Personally experienced as well. Real question is why capable people stay around incapable people for so long despite extra work and hurt. I feel there is unconscious trade. She takes care of him and things, in exchange he gives her validation and feeling of being accepted/chosen. As long as inner acceptance is absent, struggle goes on. Unconditional self love is the path forward.

  Miranda would have never married Steve if she didn&apos;t accidentally get pregnant. &nbsp;Lynette married Tom on purpose. &nbsp;She want 1 child, he forced 7 children on her. &nbsp;He was worse. &nbsp;If Miranda and Steve didn&apos;t accidentally produce a child, they would have had a romance that petered out at some point.

  The thing about Tom and Lynette is: she chose to stay with him for a reason. And that reason is that she can put the blame for anything going wrong on him. We see Lynette having problems with other people having power or (in her mind) owning her things with others and she hates it. With Tom she can just put all the blame on him and be the more competent one. It&apos;s not healthy, but if she were a healthier person they wouldn&apos;t have ended in the situation they are in to begin with.<br><br>A woman without her need of control and want to be above others would have told Tom no after the twins, she would not have kept agreeing. Or she would have left him, gotten a well paying job (we know Lynette has no problem getting) and hired a nanny instead. <br><br>But Lynette needs a bad guy so she can feel better and Tom is perfect for that, because he perfected weaponized incompetence. They are both terrible for each other and the reason they stay together: Lynette gets someone she can feel surperior to in every way and Tom can get away with whatever nonsense he wants to with little backlash.

  Oftentimes people are choosing dysfunctional adults or have to many babies in order to not see their own potential and power. <br>They are sabotaging themselves by proxy.

  Tom was a manchild. Steve at least grew in between him and Miranda breaking up in season 3 to them getting back together in season 6. Miranda never had to give up her career for him.
