Antman: the wife is one of the worst characters since Loki

Unlike Thor, Antman is actually a fairly competent film.
However, there is some flaw with the drama. The wife.
She doesn't want Scott to be with their daughter, because he committed a crime. Ok.
However, you forget that it's commonly mentioned that he was a Robin Hood act.
He's not a very unlikeable character or a bad father figure-like character for the daughter.
He's an a lot better character written or moral compared to the wife, and the two seemed to never have chemistry on screen, albeit this could be due to the lack of breakout Paul Rudd was compared to Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man.
If she said, "I couldn't wait ten years for someone to be the father," or something like that, maybe... But no, she just says, "It's cuz you commited a crime."
And then she marries a cop, despite Scott doing such a brave thing for the world, very symbolic of a character who is (double negative warning) anti-anti-1%.
This is the happy family picture at the end of the film with the two dads?!?!
Like, what did the mom learn from the film that made her think that he wasn't any more brave than he previously was?
No, it's cuz he couldn't get a job, because of his likeable criminal past! Etc..
Like, this lady is a friggin robot. Not saying it's the actress' fault, but the lines in the scenes given are quite nonsensical.
He has an Electrical Engineering degree.
What does she do for a job, or as a mother?
