"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?""

"i'm not interested in psychoanalyzing lollipopfop or arguing with anybody who jerks off to photos of julie benz but i will say RITA SUCKS. "

"It's a good thing Rita sucks, because then people won't have to jerk off to (her) photos so much...
Just sayin'...

"I just found this thread. All I can say is Please do not hold it is as You can break something.

Come on guys THIS IS a TV program. If it is Rita you hate then remember she has a script and if she causes this much interest in her character THEN She is doing her job and doing it well.

If it is Julie Benz you do not like. Well to each his own. I like her, are you cruitics willing to get up and show your self so we can see what you are like? Go and hide behind your ICON, and do not show your self. If you want to then go ahead and post your picture and post your voice and we will be critical of you.

Hate is a four letter word too ya know..."

"I'm not thrilled with how things are going right now with Rita. But it seems like many viewers have trouble seeing her as a human character like all the others. Deb screws up sometimes and we're supposed to still respect her. Dexter screws up A LOT more than anyone on this show. I don't want her to cheat but it's not shocking that an emotionally blocked off relationship would come to this. It takes two people to cause marital issues. I'm ready to forgive Rita as I've forgiven every other character. Dexter is asking for this to happen in a way. How can he expect a perfect marriage to anyone? I'm impressed they went this long without problems. I don't want Rita to be a cheater but let's face it. Most TV characters are... Dexter is in a better position to forgive than anyone. He's more than guilty of lying and deceiving... and even cheating."

"I would never call Rita a slut. Dexter's a super slut then. I think it comes down to bringing these characters to a human level. Rita's potential affair makes more sense than Dexter's or Deb's. Marital complacency has to be the #1 cause of affairs. Dexter's been emotionally blank or seemingly so for several years. All the years he's been with Rita. Unless the writers totally dropped the ball, Rita is not the kind of person that would do this for no reason. Rita's been significantly more open than Dexter. We can't say he's open, honest or faithful. His dark passenger is an ongoing emotional affair. Both Rita and Dexte need to wise up if they want their marriage to function. I think that's where I'm at on this. It's wrong to cheat. Dexter's not there for her and she has every right to leave him for it. Cheating is not the answer here. Since Dexter constantly lies, I feel like people should have forgiveness for Rita. It's not exactly like she's a habitual decieiver like her husband. She's a good wife to him.. and has loved him even though he's never sure if he loves her."

"YES I care too much about Rita :) AND I know I'm gonna get burned. Just let me hope it works out ;-)"
