Another episode about Marge in prison is "Orange is new Yellow", there Marge also felt less stress in prison than in own house. Homer said he couldn't believe that Marge prefers prison to home. What a cynical view.

Rita had stress as mother and wife, but she herself made so many children, so she brought whole stress on herself.

The writers often paint wanting to be free from stress or mistreating or discomfort as a selfish thing. Examples are "Making the Grade" and "Pipe dreams". I don't see wanting to be free from needless misery as anything selfish. Animated film Rio 2 showed it even worse, when main character said to his wife that he wants to go home, because her father treats him like a dirt and the wife called him out for selfishness. That made me think the best for them would be a divorce.
