Dramatic question

[kenaz]

So.... is it better to kill off the completely inconvenient wife who is only evident in canon because her son wasn't hatched from an egg, or have her Go West, somewhat petulantly? Trying to not to entirely demonizing a non-character, while also not wanting to be overly sympathetic, and leave slashy husband some leeway for technical infidelity without making him a total cad.

Talk amongst yourselves.

Could there be chance that they agreed to have an open relationship from the beginning? She can still travel west, but there at least would be an understanding that if he wished to take another lover it wouldn't be considered infidelity.

I've thought about that, but I'm not sure it's a fit for this particular story. Everyone's too angsty! :)

That's what happens when one jumps all over the broad strokes without stopping to think through the details. :(
