Question of the week #7
The marriage at the centre of the show is the one between Philip and Elizabeth, but there's another marriage that looms large as well: the one between Stan and Sandra. Both marriages have problems.
So here's this week's question: To what extent are those problems similar, or are they entirely different? You can expect spoilers for the entire first season in the comments.
(There's no expiration date on these questions, so if you're reading this post months later and feel like jumping in, please do.)

And tangentially, I find it incredibly frustrating when fans pick a side and decide the other one is just completely wrong (or even a horrible person). The whole point of the show is about to what extent it's possible to understand "the other side," the least we as fans can do is try to understand each of the characters' individual points of view.
