I think she got used to him, and she does expect him to treat her well -- I mean, her attitude toward him is not at all that of a woman who is afraid of her husband
Yes, absolutely! And Pullo doesn't, at least in the brief interactions we've seen, have any of that "ordering about" quality that Vorenus displayed in the beginning with Niobe - so I guess Pullo is way less the stern paterfamilias than Vorenus tried to be. OTOH, that sort of makes his fateful tryst with Gaia that much worse!
both of them have done something terrible that destroyed their families, haven't they? And then had to learn to live with the consequences.
I have to say, though, that Vorenus's something terrible was a lot more terrible than Pullo's - Pullo made a bad mistake by sleeping with Gaia, but he couldn't have known she would take this as license to try to kill his unborn child. Whereas Vorenus, although crazed by grief, certainly, really did at least contemplate killing Niobe and also cursed his children (again, I know he was out of his mind with grief, but he was a lot more culpable, IMO, for what happened to his family than Pullo is for whatever is going to happen to Eirene and the baby. It's not GOOD that he slept with Gaia, but it's also not, well, homicidal :P)
Also, no, I totally think Vorenus will not know how to deal with Pullo's grief, because he's not very good at dealing with ANYONE'S emotions. Sigh!
