Totally agree with what you’re saying, but I’d say that there’s a difference between “judgement” and “feedback”.
I’ll give feedback that she’s totally unreasonable, and she knows that I’m not judging her or thinking less of her for it. There’s a mutual trust thing around feedback like that.
Not only say whatever, they address jealousy. They have a secure relationship, and both of them have moments of insecurity, maybe more so Bob, but they both address said insecurity and come back together.
Unfortunately for me, I thought that Bob and Linda portrayed something unrealistic or unreasonable. Because every time I felt insecure in my relationship, my ex would blame me, and then hang out with her guy friends I’ve never even heard before.
I mean, not really? Gene and Louise call Tina autistic because she’s socially awkward, but it’s more of a gag than anything. Bob even tells them off and says she’s not. I wouldn’t really describe the scene as the creators actually saying she’s autistic.

They’re also autistic (pretty much everyone in the family and most of the show it), so that definitely has something to do with it.
“Everybody is autistic” has gotta be one of my least favorite internetisms.
They straight up talk about it in the very first episode.

That was cannibalism, not autism. (An easy mistake to make, I know.\s)

Yeah, they do, but you should refresh your memory about how that scene goes.
