Does anyone else think that Pam on The Office turns into a major ***** as the seasons go on?

**Contains spoilers if you haven t seen the show yet**

I love Pam in the beginning seasons of The Office. I think she is so sweet and cute and smart and she and Jim have such great chemistry. I applaud her confidence in season 3. But once she and Jim get together, it s like the two of them turn into a smug nightmare. At least Jim is still a prankster and, perhaps due to the fact that John Krasinski is a better actor, still appears lovable most of the time. Pam turns into this self righteous harpy.

Every other one of her lines turns into some talk-down to whomever she s speaking. Like when Erin sets up all the nice stuff for Michael when everyone thinks Donna is about to break his heart, Pam shuts it down and basically says it would be better if she was running it. And Jim does absolutely everything for her, including giving up his dream to start his own company focussed on something he absolutely loves, for her. He stays in smalltown Scranton just because Pam prefers it. Even when he s in Philadelphia working, which isn t even very often, she bitches and whines to him on the phone about how hard her life is when it is mentioned and.or shown multiple times that she is not alone. Her mother, sister, and friend help her raise the kids while Jim is away.

UGH! I cannot stand her. I love this show but I really wish they had taken a different route with Pam. She drives me crazy.

Anyone agree?
