How much easier would it have been for James to have a nice and sweet partner? Maybe one that looked to him for help all the time or kept to themselves when a problem arose so that he could be the strong and dutiful husband he was to offer protection.

Well, he married you.

There, James stood in the middle of a parking lot after buying groceries; you held his hand and talked about your day while his badge was hidden under his jacket when all of a sudden, a man made a lewd comment about you and lightly patted your butt.

This enraged James, who was more than happy to go and reach for his taser, but you beat him to the punch.

Literally.

He blinked, and your fist collided with that guy's face, and you were yelling obscene things so fast he couldn't even comprehend what was happening. Neither did that guy as he curled into the ball on the floor.

So why would he want a compliant little spouse when he has you? You were much hotter.

But he should probably reel you in a little before this becomes a homicide.
