RITA IS NOT ANNOYING! The series has been built and progressed on three solid fronts. ONE: Dexter and his hunts. TWO: Dexter and his day job. THREE: Dexter and his private time away from the other two. Rita and her kids along with Dexter's relationship with them is truly one-third of the show. Not in screen time to be sure but it is a big part of Dexter's life and all three play off of each other.

He is striving to appear normal and it takes an effort for him to do this, it does not come naturally. Dexter is Dexter for all the reasons we already know and his life is as complicated as anyone else's and its that complication factor that makes him very interesting to watch. If one of these three parts of the show were to go away then the series would suffer! Rita is not meant to be anything other that his girlfriend and now the mother of his child, leading to their wedding. It's called family!

Too many people keep saying Rita is this or that when her character is just as important to Dexter as the other parts of his life.

I can't believe how she is acting. She actually said "No doesn't work in a relationship" meaning saying no to her doesn't work. She constantly berates him. She doesn't allow him any imput in how the kids are raised, but she expects him to pay for them. The way she treated him at the roast was so wrong. She should have becked him up instead of giving him dirty looks. BTW..Rita should be telling Astor to stop being rudeto Dexter. Not yell at Dexter. He works to bring home money, stays up with the baby all night while she sleeps, and she still doesn't think he is involved enough? What does she want? His blood? He hates living in the suburbs, and she doesn't care. All she cares about is herself and her kids. Im tired of it. She needs to stop forcing people to do what she wants, and she needs to stop taking advantage of a man who just wants to please her. No wonder her last husband beat her. He probably couldn't take her saying"what were you thinking?". It translates to "why am I not getting my way?"
