I'm not going to cut up your post in quotes as I'm on mobile and can't be bothered
I'm not saying you're wrong, it just isn't what I took away. I can't recall anywhere in the first series where he brings it up, but it was a general tone and feeling I got from Walt that he blamed Gretchin, Elliot and Skylar for his position in life, everyone but himself. He's a stubborn person, but for all his faults I think he put all of his emotional issues behind him when he had a child, a disabled child at that. In order for that to happen he had to lose all of his drive and arrogance, it was an all or nothing choice he subconsciously made. I think Skylar gradually became the boss of the relationship in that vacuum.
He wouldn't have brought any of that up in that video because he was only just reawakening at that part of the show.
I'm probably talking complete bollocks though, as I'm trying to write and think off the top of my head without refreshing my memory as I'm desperate to play a game whilst my baby is asleep haha.
