This is for the people who don't get why a lot of people are so much more upset with Skyler than Cirrus even though Cirrus made mistakes as well.
Although Cirrus also fucked up these past couple of chapters, the issue here is that the difference in their traumas arranges it in such a way that largely favors Skyler and puts Cirrus at a disadvantage. That’s why any pain Skyler inflicts does more damage than Cirrus’.
To put it into perspective: Cirrus can’t stand being abandoned so he’ll immediately apologize to any argument to please Skyler. Skyler’s trauma response is the opposite. He’ll guard himself and protect himself so he can’t get hurt again; prioritizing himself.
Skyler protects himself due to his trauma while Cirrus is willing to hurt himself as long as Skyler stays with him. So while they both are traumatized, Cirrus’ trauma response compared to Skyler’s puts him at a higher disadvantage than Skyler. This means the pain Skyler can potentially inflict on Cirrus is much more damaging than anything Cirrus can do to Skyler. That’s why more people are hurt and dissatisfied by Skyler than Cirrus.
