I know the writers made the choice to end Rhoda's and Joe's marriage, but...Rhoda's narotic behavior ruined this marriage. In nearly every argument she starts with Joe, she's wrong. After years of complaining and pining for man (any man), she gets a 'terrific guy' (her words) and ruins it. If I had hot new husband, I'd tell my best friend to call next time and be on my marry way. I mean she's known Mary for years. She's only known Joe a few months and their relationship needs more nuturing than hers and Mary's. Instead Rhoda uses her friend's potential bad reaction and some twisted feminist bullcrap to defend her actions. This is blantt when her husband says, "I want to go away this weekend with my wife!" God! What a jerk! Doesn't Joe know he's supposed to do stuff like that with his mistress or his ex-wife for kicks. I know everything works out in the end but most of that's due to Joe calming down and letting it go. This would have been funny if it hadn't lead to a divorce. I don't know what happened in the episodes leading to the divorce. I'd wouldn't be surprsed if they wrote some stuff to make Joe look more like a villian and Rhoda.
