So I married Aela, and we have since moved to Solitude to my big beautiful decked out mansion. But, alas...I am no longer in it. We used to go all over and smash baddies together, it was wonderful, and we stole a glance in the wilderness, and I knew she was the one. But the spark is gone. It all started with the move. When we first married, we lived in a quaint little cottage in Whiterun, it had all we needed. But money complicated things. I now own mansions all over Skyrim, and I thought we would be happier in my Solitude mansion. But, things just aren't the same. I guess the simple warrior girl in a big mansion in Solitude just no longer keeps me home at night, and I have found myself wondering what life would be like with some of the more proper young ladies I encounter throughout the land.

This brings me to my point, can I divorce Aela and set her free? I mean if I am not in it, I don't want to keep her tied to me. It's not fair to her. We have grown apart and I think she may be happier with Farkas or one of the other companions. Besides, her real home is Whiterun...

What can I do? I assume the laws of the land have not yet adopted divorce. What action can I take?

You can't get divorced but you can get widowed....If you know what I mean...

Oh..how awful. She has been such a large part of my life. She has cooked, and run the store very successfully.

But, purely speculation, if she were to pass away tragically, for which I would mourn her loss and keep vigil for weeks, say at some point in the future down the road some way would my Aela want me to remarry? Would she allow it? (can i get remarried)

Yes I believe, it's possible to remarry, not sure though

No, you cannot remarry without console voodoo. You can't do better than Aela anyway, so just learn to accept it.

Maybe I am to quick to want to throw it all away. Would you suggest moving back to Whiterun? Maybe getting back to our roots will help us. I mean obviously we once had something that mattered, so we can still find it.

Ech.
Get out of your character.

And all NPCs lose all their personality and quirks once you marry them.

They all spit out the same lines and cook food and give you small amounts of free gold.
The only difference between a few of them is the voice actor/actress.

At least Aela is one of the few marriagable females that you can still take out with you after you marry.



If you're on PC:

Simple solution: Break up with her and give her your Whiterun house.

I think in the divorce she'd be entitled to a lot more...

When we got married I only owned that home in Whiterun, and only had furniture in the bedroom and living room (typical bachelor).

Unless I could find a cause of action against her, she'd have a right to 50% of what I have earned since we married. Boy, I don't keep good books, but off the top of my head thats a bunch. I mean I own homes in Riften, Markath, Solitude, I am the Head of a College, would the college be in jeopardy?

Anyone know if there are any good divorce attorney's in Solitude?

In this video game you cannot divorce a game character and remarry another game character. Use the mod posted above to re marry another bunch of pixels.

Taking RP to a whole new level..
Not sure if I like.

Skyrim marriages are forever, so choose wisely

Whos to say shes entitled to half of what you earned? After all, I mean this is Skyrim, not the modern world.

The Executioner.

UPDATE:

I have decided to give Aela and I another run at things. As soon as I get home (real world) I will go home (Solitude) and talk to her. I think I am going to suggest we move back to Whiterun and see how it goes. Once there I also am going to let my current housecarl (that guy from Markath) take a hike for a while and see if Aela and I can rekindle some of the old flame running around the countryside and raiding dungeons and forts. You guys have taught me something, and helped me understand what marriage in Skyrim is all about. Marriage is what you put into it, and I haven't been putting enough effort into our relationship. Only time will tell if this will work, but if we're both willing to work, I think we're gonna make it. That and she makes a mean homecooked meal pie thing.

If not she is getting Fus Ro Dah'd off the throat of the world and I'll just slay hos as a widower for all of eternity. But I hope it doesn't come to this.

And Drew you raise a valid point, but I couldn't find a good attorney and even though I am the Stormblade (or whatever) Ulfric doesn't seem to like me, so I would be worried about going to court without knowing the ruler has my back. I think maybe he and Aela used to have a thing.

I'm happy with Ysolda, a meal and some money is all a man needs

I am happy with Muiri, a nice Breton gal that runs a store as a housewife, when I get things from dungeons and stuff I sell to her pretending I am bring her stuff to sell

My Ma always told me that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. There is a lot to be said for the home-cooked meal!

Okay, my wife suddenly started saying "How much longer can we keep this up?" She won't follow me, won't give my the store's profits, won't make me a pie, won't buy things from me.

That's all she says, whether I talk to her or just stand next to her. I have left her in Markharth with my housecarl for a couple game-months, and I think they're having an affair.

I want a divorce...

lmao.... I've been reading this whole thread.. It's a total laugh and the whole RP thing is hilarious... but honestly I haven't gotten married yet since I'm playing a female toon and don't want to marry a male toon. Not sure if I can marry a female toon or not. So that's where I am... If it is possible then I think I would marry the little fine chick up in Markath?? Think that's where she is... lol. And to SSG Are you sleeping with her or did you leave her for long periods of time while on your travels? That could be the issue for a lot of people. Not sure. I know if I was married my wife would want me home every night getting some. lol

I like you

Whatever you do do not marry Mjoll. We got married and Aerin came with her.

He was standing by her side as she slept. No magic in the bedroom is possible with him.


YES you can marry another female. my character is a girl and she has married:

Ysolde, Muri, Mjoll, Aela, illia and 2 girls from the Dibella shrine.

kill Aerin then

If no one has mentioned it yet, there is a divorce MOD on Nexus.
