Do you feel bad for this guy? I think if he had just shown the wife her place with a few slaps on the face then he would have had a perfectly fine and happy life.

Yes and no.
Well meaning dude, but ultimately a coward.

Not everyone can be a badass like you, anon.

You don't need to be a badass to not let a crazy bitch walk all over you and destroy your life and family.

You don't need to be highly intelligent to understand sarcasm.

Why should I feel bad? He's got a talkshow and everything.

No? He had a fulfilling and pleasant life. I don't understand why people say it's a sad book; it's really one of the best lives a person can hope for

This guy is right. The book shows several lives that are more sad than his, his daughter's, arguably Edith's, her father's, Masters, both the crippled guys, and Sloane. It's only easy to feel bad for him because we're with him for the entire book and grow to like him. If he wasn't the focus, we'd think he's one of the better off characters.
