So he was doing her a favour? Isn't he a father as well who should think for the best of his children too?
So in other case he would just leave her with the children?
Demanding 3 meals every day served or else is kind of disrespectful to someone you used to love.
- Tichy 14y ago3 meals a day might benefit the children, too. Not fighting in front of them is probably also a good idea. What does he propose that is bad for children?
- klepra 14y agoWell, poster above me was implying that his demands were reasonable, as he is staying with her and children. If she wouldn't agree to him, he would leave and left her with children, that is not exactly unconditional love for his children and also sexist/macho.
- Tichy 14y agoIt's not a given that staying together is best for the children. If there is constant fighting, separation might be better for all of them.
- klepra 14y agoYou are right from today's perspective. But you have to keep in mind that was early 19th century, maybe seperation than was harder for wife and children. EDIT: I meant early 20th centory...

- randomdata 14y agoThat is how it reads. I certainly wasn't there to know what really went on, though I think we can assume these are the issues that caused the relationship breakdown in the first place. It wouldn't be very fair for her to live in the lap of luxury while he solely provides for the home and does all the housework on top, even if they had a prior love for each other.
