Why would walter divorce Cynthia

[-]

TheYoungMinarchist@reddit

She didn’t really tie the room together

[-]

It may be a dumb theory, but I like to think that they had an amicable divorce and Walter is still close to her and likes Marty Ackerman. Walter never seems to bad mouth her or anything. Granted he might be written to be the kind of henpecked husband/ex or something but he might not be.

veapman@reddit

Walter put the piece away

Cleercutter@reddit

Were you paying attention to the dudes story?

[-]

Gnarly-Gnu@reddit

I was bowlin'.

[-]

tinglep@reddit

You can imagine where it goes from here.

[-]

Gnarly-Gnu@reddit

He throws the rocks?

[-]

Due-Manager9618@reddit

Don't be coy.

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

She’s off in Hawaii with Marty Ackerman!

(Serious answer: there’s no way it was Walter who did the divorce filing in that relationship. The ex already has a boyfriend, and Walter’s a vet with anger issues not to mention deadbeat friends. I mean, c’mon.)

[-]

NerdOfTheMonth@reddit

I can’t see Walter in any functional relationship.

(Calmer than you)

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

The unspoken message is FUCK YOU AND LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!

[-]

nojoblazybum@reddit

Is that some kinda Eastern thing?

[-]

gherat@reddit

Far from it, dude.

[-]

FrustratedPCBuild@reddit

Yes, I’ll be at practice.

[-]

thebenn@reddit

Dude, are you still coming to practice?

[-]

FinklesteinShitKid0@reddit (OP)

If you will it Dude there is no dream

[-]

Johnsendall@reddit

I’m going with John Goodman’s thought that Walter never served in the military.

[-]

SuccessMean6849@reddit

He's got buddies who died face down in the muck!

[-]

Johnsendall@reddit

He says.

[-]

iMaxPlanck@reddit

Oh no, Walter definitely did. He’s a carbon copy of a Vietnam vet relative of mine who received a 💜, 100% disabled, overweight, carries a gun, huge asshole, probably a great bowler.

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

That's fucking interesting, man. That's fucking interesting.

[-]

HereToPatter@reddit

Man...I did a J earlier and got super confused when you said "Walter's a vet." I was like..."ooohhh that's why he's watching Cynthia's fuckin pomeranian!" Then I remembered Sobchak Security and thought, "is he a vet AND a security specialist?!" Then I finally realized I'm a fuckin idiot.

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

Sooner or later you’re gonna have to face the fact that you’re a fucking idiot.

[-]

Lafcadio-1@reddit

😂

[-]

iMaxPlanck@reddit

Are you employed sir??

[-]

FinklesteinShitKid0@reddit (OP)

I'm finding it hard to defend most,if not all of Walter's actions even jokingly. With the exception being he divorced prior to Watching His Buddies Die Face Down IN the Mud

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

The centrality of a close friendship between the Dude (a radical draft-dodger antiwar activist) and Walter (post-traumatic stress Vietnam vet) is one of my absolute favorite things about this film. I’m an elder Millennial so that stuff’s all before my time so I only appreciate it intellectually, but I suspect younger audiences miss it entirely.

[-]

Thencewasit@reddit

Shut the fuck up Marky.

You are out of your element.

[-]

TattooedBagel@reddit

Again, 100%!

[-]

bankrupt_bezos@reddit

Before your time? Far from it. We got the same dynamic with the second go-around there when the aggression would not stand.

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

That’s a Swiss fucking watch if I understand it correctly.

[-]

FrustratedPCBuild@reddit

These days that’s the best message from the film.

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

I wouldn’t go that far. I mean, they’re both poor and anti-establishment (and they love bowling). Creating more people with those first two in common has not exactly been a great development since the Early Nineties.

[-]

steppenweasel@reddit

Good point. I’m sort of a Dude to my best friend’s Walter, and it seems harder than ever to hold onto a connection these days what with all the conspiracy theories and extreme political views floating around.

[-]

vhmike@reddit

Friends the square community wouldn't give a shit about.

[-]

TattooedBagel@reddit

(Re: serious answer, I 100% agree with you & your reasonings except that iirc their divorce was 5 years previous. Doesn’t mean the BF wasn’t originally a side piece, but plenty of time for it to have just been all of the other, very rational reasons lol.)

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

What in God's holy name are you blathering about?

[-]

turgy22@reddit

OP said wrong answers only.

Am I the only one who gives a shit about the rules around here!

[-]

MornGreycastle@reddit

This is not 'Nam. This is Reddit. There are rules.

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

Mobile, dude. Wave of the future.

[-]

Gnarly-Gnu@reddit

Are we gonna split hairs here?

[-]

MarkyMarquam@reddit

They said they were nihilists.

[-]

RedPhule@reddit

Say what you will about Pacifism, but at least it's an ethos.

[-]

BassBootyStank@reddit

Fuck me

[-]

cntUcDis@reddit

110% the truth

[-]

Danimal1002@reddit

She was a fucking strumpet

[-]

L-Ron-Hooover@reddit

A human paraquat

[-]

D-Flo1@reddit

Plus owing money all over town

[-]

itzTHATgai@reddit

Those are some tasty pastries, Walter.

[-]

AdultishRaktajino@reddit

Caught her eating some sausage on Shabbat.

[-]

vidvicious@reddit

I would imagine Cynthia initiated the divorce. Walter doesn’t seem like the most pleasant person to live with, and probably caused a scene or two during dates.

[-]

barren_field_of_fks@reddit

Man, if my fuckin’ ex-wife asked me to take care of her fuckin’ dog while she and her boyfriend went to Honolulu I’d tell her to go fuck herself.

[-]

HCPage@reddit

First of all Dude, you don’t have an ex

[-]

Gnarly-Gnu@reddit

Second, this is a fucking show dog with papers.

[-]

BassBootyStank@reddit

I’ve seen a lot of show dogs, Dude, and this one is a fraud. Is Cynthia even real!?

[-]

Thencewasit@reddit

You want a show dog? I can get you a show dog.

Like it’s so hard to pdf fake papers. There are ways dude. You don’t want to know about it.

[-]

Axle-f@reddit

Stay away from me BassBootyStank!

[-]

itzTHATgai@reddit

Can't leave him alone. He'll get divorced.

[-]

FinklesteinShitKid0@reddit (OP)

OVER THE LINE!

[-]

Apprehensive-Nose646@reddit

He no longer digs her, man, in the parlance of our times

[-]

Top-Ad-6902@reddit

She kept taking his underwear; the whites.

[-]

alien_bait_yourself@reddit

He didn’t like her boyfriend.

[-]

dick_jaws@reddit

Walter was busy working late hours building Sobchak Security.

[-]

Desperate_Jump_3062@reddit

Its part of his sick Cynthia thing He probably took the Being Jewish thing too far. Walter is Polish Catholic

[-]

Known_Boobs@reddit

That BITCH rolled on shomer shabbos, even though he told her a million fucking times...

[-]

Fedakeen14@reddit

Because she didn't respect the ruling made by the Supreme Court, which roundly rejected prior restraint.

[-]

Gusano13@reddit

She didn’t give a shit about the rules

[-]

NewRec8947@reddit

Cynthia probably divorced Walter after he shot holes in the roof one too many times.

[-]

TuneLinkette@reddit

Wanted him to roll on shabbos.

[-]

GuitarSingle4416@reddit

Walter didn't get divorced..... She did.

[-]

Flimsy_Maize6694@reddit

She has papers, Dude

[-]

Bubonic_Batt@reddit

This is a complicated case

[-]

Top-Spinach2060@reddit

She divorce him.

[-]

Teacherforlife21@reddit

Turns out she’s a communist sympathizer

[-]

davster39@reddit

She divorced herself !

[-]

Ted_Fleming@reddit

That dog is no where near a Pomeranian

[-]

RJS7424@reddit

Her work was commended as being strongly vaginal

[-]

RJS7424@reddit

She was caught acting in Jacky Treehorn movie

[-]

RJS7424@reddit

She probably owed money all over town too

[-]

RJS7424@reddit

Some Chinaman took her from him while they were vacationing in Korea

[-]

RJS7424@reddit

She crossed the line in the sand

He couldn't fix the cable.

[-]

IcyTake@reddit

Even Lenin knows that Cynthia divorced Walter… Where have you been?? Probably jerking off manually to a beaver picture.

[-]

jeffbas@reddit

[-]

TheMaveCan@reddit

Why would Cynthia divorce Walter

Because he's a stolen valor lunatic that has a propensity for pulling out firearms over small disagreements in public

[-]

biplane_curious@reddit

He became more orthodox than she was.

“SHOMER SHABBOS!”

[-]

armyofant@reddit

I think she did the divorcing. Walter is pretty unhinged.

[-]

Popular-Bug69@reddit

Pretty sure she dumped him. lol. TBF I'm not even sure how the Dude tolerated him. I am chill AF vibes and if I have a "friend" who rages constantly... no, I don't...
