That's an outstanding assessment of Gwen and why I often find myself rolling my eyes at her. I get the feeling that by making her so "fallible" and "human," we the viewers are supposed to find ourselves reluctantly rooting for her in spite of infidelity, general incompetence, spazziness, et cetera. Yep, when I do root for her, it's very reluctant.
