Merchant

You have chosen to marry an aspiring Merchant. Your husband seemed like a wonderful person, but now you realize he thinks of you as trophy and nothing more. While he is nice to you, he has no interest in your thoughts or you as an intellectual equal. You are expected to run the household wherever that may be, and do whatever he asks or orders you to. He has said if you fail to do that he will either divorce you or claim you are unfaithful to him and drop you off in a nunnery (monastery for women). He does have some good qualities, he works hard and is successful, he buys you anything you ask for, but you wish he would also respect you for your mind.

Do you stay with him, and hope to get him to respect you or do you give him an ultimatum and possibly end up divorced or in a nunnery.




 * ~ Stay married ||~ give ultimatum. ||
 * This was a normal way of life for a woman during these times. Even in the peasentry they were considered property, but being alone was even worse. || A woman standing up for herself was usually a woman already married in a good relationship or a woman who would remain single. If you end up divorced it's considered a drastic insult and will possibly end up with you never getting remarried as no man wants to marry a women with the reputation of being a divorced woman. In fact you might end up in a nunnery anyway. ||
