Why I married my combat companion.

After awhile running across the land without her following me around lobbing firebolts everywhere just didn't feel right anymore. Though in Dawnguard it was a bit grating having vampires kidnap her literally out from right under my nose.

Sadly the only game to give me the "romantic feels" is that brief bit in The Darkness where you celebrate Jacky's (you) birthday with his girlfriend Jenny. I won't spoil it, but it was a little moment of pure beauty in an ugly monochrome shooter and the game is like five bucks now so go out and buy it.

Skyrim: I've heard the word "soulless" used to describe the game, but nothing really cemented it like my marriage (both of them, really) to Ysolda across two characters. I picker her twice. She makes the most sense to me as a marriage prospect. Why, then, can't I tell her I love her?

Also, all these ad-hoc funerals for battlefield romances lost. Gonna lift a bottle of Nord Mead in your names next time I'm playing. I salute you, you sentimental lunatics. :')

You described my marriage with Ysolda to a par. And I try! I hung up the flower I held at our wedding (Sanguine's Rose) right besides our doorway. Whenever I come home I make sure I'm wearing the gilded elven armor I wore when I proposed to her, and then I go straight up and change into the white dress I wore at our wedding! She doesn't even notice :( I never take off my Bond of Matrimony, but I peeked in her inventory and she isn't even wearing hers! She's just keeping it in her pockets. I've tried cooking her meals and placing them besides her, but she won't even touch them. And it's not just how little she cares about me, it's that she doesn't care about herself. She's always dreamed of running an inn - that's part of what made me attracted to her in the fist place - but she does nothing to reach that goal. I have a giant mansion in Solitude that would make a perfect inn, but we tried moving there and she still just mopes about the house. When I found out about her selling drugs, I'll admit, I was happy. At least it meant she was still doing something with her life. Oh Mara, why did you make me your agent if you won't even bless my home with love!?
