The Problematic Relationship Between Alice and Hal: a concept


IT IS NOT ROMANTIC WHEN THE MAN THAT SENDS YOU TO A CONVENT TO HAVE YOUR CHILD BECAUSE YOU WONT HAVE AN ABORTION THEN MARRIES YOU AT THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN WHILE YOU ARE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. 

HAL IS A CONTROLLING ASSHOLE AND HIS BEHAVIORS IN HIS MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIP TO ALICE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A FORM OF ABUSE INDEPENDENT OF HIS TENDENCY TO MURDER.

Yes, it's amazing, isn't it? They think that he and Alice have this healthy fulfilling relationship and it's like...even if we discount the fact that he tries to KILL HER AND BETTY IN SEASON TWO it is definitely toxic and at the very least borderline abusive. I would go so far as to say that it is clearly abusive but accept that opinions vary.

Alice has been led astray this season so they are using the fact that Hal has manipulated Betty into seeing him again as wonderful signs that he is a good father and Alice is the worst person ever bc she shockingly has no coping skills.

And, no, Archie/Fake Grundy was never properly dealt with.
