On the one hand, I try to have some understanding in regard to Hutch and Vivian being placed in a desperate situation, one which (despite Vivian's bad judgment) involves manipulation and victimization by a sociopathic slimeball boss. Without the victimizer, there would be no victims.
On the other hand, regardless if the initial effort by Vivian to try to deal with the situation was motivated by good intentions and concern for her husband/family circumstances, how could she not ask herself the question: Even if allowing my husband's boss to have his way with me could save his job, do I really want my husband to be working for a man who would expect such a thing in exchange for keeping him employed? (and furthermore have her husband remain at a job where he has to face this man and take orders from him on a daily basis) So even if her intial action was sparked by good intentions, she seriously did not think very far ahead in terms of consequences. She may have believed that she was the partner with the plan and who was trying to take control, but she ultimately acted impulsively without much forethought in regard to eventual outcomes.
