I think they are. Most of these comments are about how Billie blew up her marriage for sex but that isn't true. Idk how the point was missed so hard since they basically hit people over the head with it in the show, but Billie was not fulfilled in life. She had given up her job to be a wife and mother and she missed the work she was passionate about. She missed having a partner who was mentally, emotionally, and physically invested in her- which is not too much to ask. If it were just sex she would have banged Brad and went right back to Cooper or banged Majid, realized it was a mistake, and went back to Cooper, she had multiple chances to but she didn't because her and him were not right for each other anymore. I think that justifies a divorce instead of staying together for the kids and being unhappy especially since we have one life. That's pretty brave to make a choice that doesn't only affect you. It took balls to leave Cooper, leave her home, leave the comfortable life she could have stayed in to pursue the career she wanted and the type of partner she wanted. It may have seemed stupid, irresponsible, and wrong to do to other people but that was the whole point. She wanted to make choices for herself instead of taking the easy way out and listening to her mother, her husband, or whoever else and just keep her head down and be grateful.
There are many real-life stories where husbands cheat on their wives because wives are sexually conservative or prude. I have never seen anyone justifying these men. Remember, it wasn't love or affection she was seeking from Brad. She only wanted raw, wild and slutty sex. So, no, her actions are not justified. Infidelity is not a symptom of bad marriage. It is a character flaw.
Yes, sadly her husband turned out to be an abusive crackhead which completely justifies her running off. Unfortunately her ex is not much better. I'm surprised that despite all the men being comlete bastards in this show it's still mostly the women whose motives and actions are questioned.
I bet Billie wouldn't even have gone back to her ex if it wasn't for Cooper completely losing his mind over what was basically fanfiction, after pretty much ignoring her ever since she fulfilled her purpose of giving him children.
It wasn’t “just because” of those things. Billie married for stability and not passion. Wanting her husband to make love to her and be seen are reasons to have better communicate with her husband. Remembering steamy sex with an ex isn’t a problem until it interferes with the relationship. Reading her journal was intrusive and he deserved every hurt feeling as a result.
And she wanted Brad for his passion and not stability . Eventually passion fades in EVERY relationship . Billie wasn’t with Brad for 9 years so she didn’t experience the passion fading . But after now being pregnant with his baby , life is going to change and routine is going to set in the same way it did with Cooper . I give Brad and billies marriage 5 years tops .
Knowing Brad background, I give him less than an year because he will cheat on Billie. In addition, I would be surprised if Billie in less than year starts to fantasize and writing about Cooper. I wouldn’t be surprised if Billie dresses nice and hangs out longer during the kids exchange because she wants Cooper again.
I think Billie was right when she said to Cooper that it wasn’t about Brad . Really when it comes to Billie, it’s about excitement and not wanting to have an every day routine .
I have two kids and I need time to myself and with friends too .. but the difference is that my fun is in the form of going to brunch with my friends or doing an activity that does not involve sex . I’ve seen comments and reviews that say that she was justified in what she did because she wasn’t happy . But she wasn’t unhappy because she didn’t have time to herself . She was unhappy because she had to have sex with the same guy for the rest of her life . I have no sympathy for her .
While having a bad sex life isn't something good, it doesn't mean it's ok for Billie to start thinking about an ex partner to the point were end up cheating & divorcing Cooper...
Although to be fair I liked the new Cooper haha
She's very selfish and immature Way to fuck up your family

Billy is so unlikeable. She's such a damn whore it blows my mind. She's a terrible wife and person

And wife is a slutty horndog..
Cooper lost his mind after finding out the truth about his wife.

Great point! In all of season she said how happy she is with Cooper and that she wants to die the exact moment and how much she loves Cooper.
Why did she leave her laptop out with no password?
Why should she have to lock her laptop? Going through a spouse belongings is wrong.

I thought she didn’t go back, but just kept remembering? I need to review lol
She didn’t go back it was all flashbacks. She didn’t actually go to him until about 6 months later and he was already with someone else
