    You can be a good guy and still not be a good husband.

    Very true, but all she said is that he wasn’t a perfect husband. That’s not the same as ‘not a good husband’.

    never protecting his wife from the abuse from his mother and saw her mother wither away

    Is that shown later on? There’s only 1 panel in the 1st chapter with the mother bragging and never really mentioned again. She herself calls her life boring by complaining about very superficial things like dress ornaments and height, nothing mentioned or shown that she’s withering away. It all feels like luxury problems for nobles, especially in the type of setting it is. Makes it hard for me to be sympathetic to the idea.

      Yes, it happens later.

      While I agree with you that it was a bit much, it wasn’t the protagonist that did this. It was her daughter. I really, really suggest you read it all. It’s one of my favorite rofans out there. Absolutely top ten for me.
