He came home late, and you thought he was just enjoying another person. Neither of you wanted to marry each other, your parents made an agreement with him to marry you off as a way to pay off debt. When he realized you wouldn’t give him an heir, he was upset. You thought, like the other men you were previously married off to, that he would abuse you, but he was gentle and kind. You still expected him to have a mistress.
