Psycho. She needs Lithium.

From what I can gather from Anne Stevenson's biography, Bitter Fame, Ted often left Sylvia alone when she was in one of her foul moods, rather than fight against it. Dido Merwin commented: 'I asked him why he never put his foot down...he told me it would only make things worse.' Furthermore, apparently, according to Lucas Myers: 'Ted also believed they would have been together again within two weeks.'- what does that say to you about their relationship and how Assia was regarded in comparison?

I think this film is a bit biased towards Plath, but it still pains me to see someone with depression getting knocked around so much by her husband.
-
She was already so utterly insecure so to have to deal with Ted's BS added to her problems and depression. It was a total downward spiral. It's so painful to watch her suffer like that.

@ashdolenz I think I read that she also burned the draft of a novel he was working on, which is even more a punch in the nose than what's already published...

see i know he has an affair, but what confused me was that she had trust issues from the beginning, did i miss something?

She did a good job in this and she sounds just like the real Plath too..
When her mother tells him "Just be good to her" I saw it in his eyes - he didn't understood the implications. He didn't know how to do it. But what else could a mother do? But beg for strangers for her children's sake. He didn't seem the faithful guy. More like the man in search for a muse not a household full of children. Sylvia was totally unlucky because with a sensibility like hers love was a crucial crossroads in her life. But I don't see her being attracted to the nice guy either.
