I'm guessing that if they tried to make a TV show out of your marriage, it wouldn't be as good as Better Call Saul. Not everything that's great in life makes for a good TV show, so try giving TV show characters in a tragedy a little slack for not winning the life lottery, at least at the end, because that's the whole point.
My life is like a fairy tale, what can I say ?

You're not supposed to cut them some slack, they're both despicable
Of course they are despicable, but if they weren't despicable the show wouldn't be any good. Better Call Saul without despicable characters is not a TV show worth watching.
I'm not saying it's a bad show, I'm just saying it's a show about bad people

I may be a hard man, but I am honorable, Mrs Smitty is the same
Of course it's a show about bad people, that's the whole point, Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman. You got to be trolling me right now, lulz.

No, I'm just saying, as Jimmy & Kim started down the path of reckless stupidity, they ceased to be like me & mine

In that way. They didn't stop being like you in other ways, and them being recklessly stupid makes the show better. So how that somehow ruins the ability to relate is beyond me, sounds like hyperbole on your part, or overdoing the compartmentalization.

I didn't say it was a bad show, you said they were like me and the misses, but that was only early on

They're not like us at all now, and I am not worried about them getting their comeuppance,

that's the the whole point, now they will pay for their sins and it shall be righteous

They are who they were the whole time, even in the beginning, so if you related to them in the first season, how you can't now, is beyond me. Whether you want to see them get their comeuppance or not is besides the point.

I don't relate to couples who commit crimes while lying to each other, as they degenerated into that I found less and less reason to like them, now they deserve a tragic ending, that's the whole point

If by degeneration you mean they found situations that allowed them to be more of who they truly were in the beginning, then yeah they degenerated. Not seeing the huge change in them that you are seeing apparently, the seeds of it were there all along in Season 1,and even before the series started. Same goes with Walter White, he was always the despicable asshole he was at the end of the show, including before the series even began.
