He loves the idea of a wife. That's it.

No…? She’s basically his goddess. Their story is meant to follow the myth of the rosem wigrew and the nymph which is not well connected, I give, but based on their past, he basically thinks she’s on the level of an idol that should not have to lift a finger to do anything, while kinda also hating her for forsaking him. He’s mad, for sure, but it’s like, a deeper madness than “wife mine”. Stay for maxi at least, I admit he doesn’t get much better anytime soon
