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.

Why not have them both act like adults and agree to separate? I doubt Galadriel and Celeborn had screaming rows when she went West and he did not.

Tbh, it really sours me on fic when the female character is demonized for the benefit of the slash paring -- even if I happen to ship the pairing in question.
