the RELATIONSHIP ADVICE meme RULES ○ In the subject line, pithily summarize any issues your character may have in their relationship/with their canon love interest/ship partner/love life. Surely there's some trouble in paradise? ○ Others will give advice on how to be luckier in love, whether to pursue someone or not...or maybe, just maybe, if it's time to call it quits with someone (DTMFA).

My husband's always so tired after hunting the stag that all he wants to do in bed is sleep.

[encorevivante]

[bluequartz]

If you hunted a stag all day the way he did, you'd be just as tired, if not more so. Is your husband hunting to keep your family from going hungry, or is it something he enjoys?

If you're bothered because you missed out on spending time with him, why not help make his rest more comfortable after he spent all day hunting?

[encorevivante]

It's a hobby.

Well, I'm trying to make his rest as comfortable as possible, of course, but usually he just pecks my cheek and turns away immediately to sleep. Unless I am to climb across his dismissive back, I don't see what other comforts I can offer.

[fallenone]

I will refrain from innuendo’s.

A husband should pay attention to his wife. Perhaps madam needs to put her foot down and demand time be set aside for her needs too, marriage after all is a joint affair.

[encorevivante]

Well, while I whole-heartedly agree, I would like to see you put your foot down anywhere near His Majesty, the King. My feet are smaller than yours, so I really stand no chance.

And what innuendos are you referring to?

playing him circa 1938 and handwaving whatever jamjar they're in

Must be a good problem to have. Most people are too tired to have sex because they work.

works for me!!

[encorevivante]

[ For a moment, she looks very offended by this, less by the notion of work and more the mention of sex. How inappropriate! ]

Seeing as -- having sex with my husband is supposed to be my work, monsieur, I'm actually trying to perform my duties. Please believe me when I say, I'm doing everything I can.

[alligatus]

[ Hmm!! Sounds familiar. ]

Is he solely inclined towards amusements, neglecting the companionship of his fair Lady?

[encorevivante]

Pretty much.

I would be happy to share in his interests with him, but he -- he doesn't let me in and without his permission, I'm not allowed to take any initiative of my own, at least none that involves him. I'm his wife, I must wait for him to realize he holds not only his own happiness in his hands, but mine too!

How do you get people to stop believing you had an unfortunate hook up?

[strongarmofthelaw]

[hooked_on_kaballin]

Have a better one.

Then you can always counter with some version of "Yeah, I also scored this...whatever....they can't all be bangers."

My best friends are dating and I’m jealous. I’m just not sure which one I’m jealous of

[isparkled]

Still getting icons together, but how can I not?

Is it wrong to love two people?

[berrybloomers]

[encorevivante]

Rather, at times, I think, it's necessary. Can something which is a necessity to us ever be wrong?

Re: Is it wrong to love two people?

[carried_away]

Why would that be wrong?

What do you do when they put work first?

[didnotcareforit]

[canofpeaches]

Can you work with them?

[sisterimperator]

That's simply a necessity.

[heartoftartan]

[wincing]

Is that... entirely correct?

What do you do when you are unworthy of her affection?

[arasakadogs]

He lied to me about being the enemy - and a Communist spy - for twenty years. How do I trust anyone?

[ezrapound]

There’s this guy. He’s not the usual kind I’d go for at all.

[claires]

Not in a million years. But I’m— he’s exciting. Nobody else comes close. Should I give it a shot?

[ Who she’s talking about is reply/CR dependent. ]

Not inherently sure why the Church will not let me court the King and His wife.

[alligatus]

[ idk i just felt liek i shoul d put this here fucking humor me,,, ]

[traitors]

It's the Church, it's there to make people miserable.
