People make mistakes all the time, sure. But he was clearly taking out his frustration more-so at missing the event in person than not seeing the video, and that’s not cool either. He can’t really throw his “sacrifices” in her face when they were his choices to make. He wanted to prioritize his career there and that comes with missing things, and it’s not right to take that out on your wife for being human and making a mistake, especially one that would’ve been avoided if he had been present. He made his choice and, sure, he was disappointed, but he was an ass for how he acted.

If we were in a prefect world, sure. She made a mistake. Idk about you but I don’t treat my husband like shit for making mistakes and especially so for making mistakes that wouldn’t have been necessary without my own doing. And again, he was clearly transferring his frustration with missing the event onto her. Not cool. He chose to prioritize his career there and needed to own the risks that came with that choice.

I mean this was 2013 when smart phones weren’t as common, I was constantly having to help my otherwise competent adult relatives do simple functions on their phones at that time. And yeah sometimes you do need to let your partner vent, but I find it difficult to fault Pam for not gritting and bearing it when he was taking out his frustrations on her. It’s hard to sympathize the Jim’s plight when you see what she’s struggling with and that she was going out of her way to try and not stress him out, for example not asking for help during the lice episode even though she clearly needed it. She was shouldering a lot at the time and not taking it out on him and he was so uninvolved at that point that he didn’t even realize it.

Banter and bitchiness are different lol

He literally started it and doubled down when she told him to chill, literally the opposite of what you are implying. So no his reaction was not warranted lol.

Literally no she didn’t lol just rewatched the episode and if you call that bitchy then we’re gonna have to agree to disagree here. All I’m advocating here is personal responsibility and being a respectful partner, two things Jim faltered with during this episode in particular. As a whole he was a decent guy in the show, but dude SUCKED here.

Her tone was literally banter. Just because she fucked up doesn’t retroactively change her intent lol. Meanwhile his tone in the later phone call was deliberate and out of line. Again, idk how people like you can advocate for speaking to your partner that way over self-induced problems but Jim was an ass there. Hence his later apology and choice to be a more present father.

That’s… a statement yeah.
