It bit him in the ass, though, as she was a genuine bitch to him quite often.
I don't picture Gloria acting up enough in her youth for Archie to lay a hand on her, especially under Edith's protection. If they had a son, it would've been a different story. And as far as abuse - things have gotten so out of hand these days it would be considered abuse if you look at your kid the wrong way. -

I'm sure Gloria being a girl had a lot to do with it. He lectured Edith more than once that a bratty kid should be hit, but he would've left Gloria's physical punishment to Edith, but you get the idea she never layed a hand on her. Judging from Gloria's behavior in season one, you get the impression she didn't cause too much trouble as a child.
If they had a son, that's when you would've seen Archie in punishment mode. -

I was becoming aggravated just reading that. I'd be bitching at the mother, but that's just me.
Government handouts are a possibility, but so is a hefty child support arrangement. That's one reason I'd be terrified of marriage (I'm 54 and single).
