GPM+give+ultimatum

You gave him the ultimatum of respecting you or else, and you got or else. He has decided not to divorce you per-se but has had you "committed" to a nunnery to learn the proper role of a woman in a marriage.

This life is much harder, you must give up all your possessions, including your clothes. You are given a very basic robe of black as your only possession. You live in a small room which has only a very hard hay bed and a small desk. Your forced to take a vow of silence, and if you speak you are punished severely. Your daily schedule is listed below, the only exception is Sunday where you spend more time in meditation or prayer rather than work.

This life is horrible, you pray that your husband comes to rescue you from this misery. You have tried to run away at least twice and have been caught both times.

You have heard that there is a disease that kills everything in it's path, and it's heading this way.

You have heard that the heretics in Arabia are pretty amazing people. A nun visited the city of Cordoba in Spain and returned with quiet tales of the Al-Hambra a beautiful palace. She says they actually bath there and smell wonderful. Thats' crazy everyone knows that water is unhealthy and to be naked is a sin.

This nun continues to talk of the beauties of Arabia. One day I would like to see this land.

Your husband has arrived and is giving you a choice to return with him or to be divorced to the church to serve as a nun for the rest of your life. He states that he is heading to Arabia with or without you. What do you do?


 * ~ Stay in the Nunnery ||~ Go with your husband ||
 * While life was hard in the monastery/nunnery it was harder and more dangerous in the real world. You had some greater protections as a woman of God than other women. However this was a very hard life with no real opportunity for change. || A chance to see Arabia, and free from this monastery. However you now know your husband will never give you the respect you ask for. ||
