Dirty Harry

I keep hoping that Dexter will find that Rita is an evil serial killer (as opposed to a less evil serial killer like Dexter) so he can "slice and dice" her. She is manipulative, selfish, self centered, unbelievably self-righteous, and completely controlling. I fast forward through most scenes with her because she is so irritating.

Are the writers really trying to portray the character as a good mother and devoted wife? If that is their intention then they can only be pandering to control-freak women who are obsessed with infecting every last detail of their husband's (or boyfriend's) life and thoughts.

Dexter's need to have Rita in his life is really creepy and nauseating.
