Fair points. Someone just pointed point that I am reading too much into the character, and I am guilty of that, for sure. I had to go back and read lots of posts about the MC and people's complaints about him. They are right, when I think about him without my own added dimensionality.I did say he doesn't need to be Super Alpha. He just needs more of a personality other than, "Yes honey you can do whatever you like, say could I watch? No? Okay then no problem. What's that? You wanna bang Alice now too? Well Can I have Lyida for the night then? No. Okay honey no worries I don't have testicles or a personality so I'll just let you make all the decisions."
Sorry man that's not a very convincing Knight at all. This guy has less personality than Ned Starke. It's too much and I'm not saying it's irredeemable or he can't love his wifes tremendously. Instead just show his thoughts sometimes other than compliance. Maybe have him stand up to her once in a while. "No Honey, if this is going to work and I'm going to start Sharing Alice then for an EQUAL partnership is time you start sharing Lyida." We just want anything that shows he's his own person because right now he doesn't feel like one.
