[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone understand this plot line? Why is he moving out? Some other guy kissed her - I get that, she shouldnt have let it happen, but he is not even willing to work on it??? There doesnt seem to be an end game here and he doesnt even want to try. I think its terrible and would be really sad if a marriage really broke up like this with no development or therapy or discussion.[/quote]

I've been a fan since Season 1 -  Joel was the long suffering stay at home dad while Julia worked and worked to make partner. When Joe wanted to work part time on some small jobs, Julia was not supportive initially. As I recall, Julia messed up on a big case and decided to quit first and tell Joel later. She took him for granted for a long time and became jealous when he became the breadwinner. Then finally Joel has a successful business and a huge client and Julia shows up accusing him of having an affair in front of said big client. Julia disagrees with Joel on Victor's education and SHE opens the door by commiserating with Ed...The kiss with Ed was the final straw....Joel had all he could stand and he couldn't take it anymore. Their marriage was falling apart the whole time due Julia's selfishness and Joel's quiet resentment, which finally was revealed this season.[/quote]
