You abandoned your character because you messed up your marriage choice? You sir, have commitment issues. I don't believe you are ready for marriage. Maybe get a gold fish or a potted plant instead.
It just tend to RP pretty hard.
It bothers me to have all my characters look and feel the same, so I go out of my way to distinguish them as much as you can within a game like this.
This specific character is a native nord, lived in Skyrim his whole life, and proudly supports the Stormcloaks and Ulfrics cause.
Was going to have hm own a small farm or mill or inn or something of that nature and just try to live his life without the empire butting in.
It wasn't that I married the wrong person.
It's that I can't re-marry without re-rolling the character.
