It's rare to see a male character in a tv show end a relationship for his valid reasons.

Never make someone a priority when they only make you an option

[adrianasvlogs]

Carrie - I married you what do you call that?
Doug- hitting the jackpot

[bobsiyt]

People forget… things got REALLY deep and passive aggressive between these two the last couple of seasons. I appreciated it, it showed how a married couple really grows resentment towards one another

[kennethg]

9 seasons and the producers finally wrote an episode where Doug's character stood up for himself, showed some intellect, and finished like a man.

[andreachristine]

Man, the feeling of hurt and sadness that Doug is portraying just made me tear up. He loved her and never wanted it to end, but he knew she wouldn't change. When he said they were done he stood there waiting for a response from her wishing maybe it wouldn't end, but she walked away which proved his point, and you can see it shattered him to pieces 💔

[marktestoni]

He was right, she didn't love him enough to take a chance, then just walks away without saying anything or skipping a beat. Spoke volumes

[kerrydavis]

When she walks away, I bet she's thinking "Good thing I kept the apartment!"

[dixnbutts]

Ahhh life was simple back then. Watching 2 or 3 of these episodes after school was soo joyful

[johnnymossville]

That feeling she has a backup plan really does hurt. You really have to commit to a marriage for it to work, through good and bad times.

[momsofthefuture]

The show got so deep at the end. I can’t watch it. This show is ridiculously well written. So many jokes, excellent plots and wonderful actors. Love this show.

Wow, Kevin James really delivered in this scene! Doug had some scenes when things got serious throughout the series but nothing like this... this is not "sitcom upset", it is dark.

[gregorypost]

Saying they were over was just him trying to see if she’d finally take that leap of faith.. and she said nothing and walked away.

[jessycassidy]

Good to see him actually stand up to her. This show was proof that it can happen to men too. She was always so demeaning and verbally abusive to him.

[iamsoboared]

One thing I never understood about Carrie is that she always acted like she and Doug had a terrible life. She had a two story house, a good job and a husband who loved her. Granted Doug did a lot of stupid things but I never for once doubted that he loved her and wanted her to be happy. But Carrie nother was ever enough, she complains about never having any money yet spends a fortune on clothes, when she saw others happy, and wanted everyone else to be miserable. She felt like she was OWED the luxurious life, the fancy clothes, the apartment in Manhattan. So ungrateful for what she had I would kill for a house like that! And look how fast she was willing to throw it away.

[blacksmith]

Through most of the episodes, it was one of those stories that made you wonder how it lasted as long as it did... she never ever seemed to be happy with anything he did.

[misterpoopnose]

See how she just walked away instead of just trying to work things out…
This actually helped me
Thank you I needed this

[YoungoneYoung-lmxe]

The sad part is that Carrie gave up waaay before Doug did. If she truly cared about him, she would've tried to change his mind and work it out. All throughout their marriage, Carrie always had a comeback for anything Doug said or did. This time she didn't.

[Gustamachio]

If she loved him she would have pleaded with him and committed to immediately getting rid of the apartment, but instead she turned and walked away, which in a way proved him right
