Love is a cruel myth created to make women obey.

Men do not love us. They may be fond of us, but they think only of themselves, and when they tire of us...then all the words they have told us mean nothing. And if we are foolish enough to believe them, and love them in return...

Then we are heartbroken.

And we must simply live with this. It is as my father says. It is my burden to bear, and I must do my duty.

So it is. So it always will be.

	A bit over the top Lothiriel, don't you think? Has Eomer ever been unfaithful to you since you've been married? And are you going to just sit there and let this woman sweep in and take your man without a fight? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I do not know if he has. How would I know? I am not with him every moment of every day. Or even every day. He has patrols, and important things to do that take him from me for days. Should I fight, when it is what he wants? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What do you want? I don't care about him, we're talking about you. Has he said he wants to leave you for her? If you love him then fight for him, don't just meekly accept whatever life throws at you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know what I want. No. He hasn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay, that's a start. Do you love him? Do you want your daughter to know him as her father? If so, then don't let her just come in and get between the two of you. Especially if he hasn't said he wants to leave you for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do. I love him. But he does not love me. I am but his wife. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How do you know? Has he said he doesn't? What has he done to show that? So what? The rules of your home don't apply here. If you don't want to stay with him or your father we have plenty of space here in the house we moved into, you're welcome to stay here for a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He has not said so. Or done anything to show it. But he was so excited to see her! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I think you need to have a serious conversation with your husband. You need to find out what's going on in his head, he's excited to see her but that doesn't necessarily mean he's suddenly fallen out of love with you.

If you want him then you need to stake your claim, don't let him go without fighting for him. I don't care what your father might have told you or what your society thought was proper. All that matters in this situation is what you want.
