* DracoInLeatherPants: Wilson is often seen as the "perfect" husband for Sara; however, most people seem to forget or even ignore the fact that he never had any true feelings towards her. This is an overreaction to people being understandably annoyed by Phillip's treatment of Sarah by never making it to her wedding, where it's obvious that even if Wilson is a terrible awful person he'd still meet that very low bar of attending his own wedding. Sone people take this observation way too far and just erase all of Wilson's faults entirely.
