Didn't You Say You Hate Me!? The Troubled Doting Marriage Life of a Strange Duke Manga Reviews

This review contains spoilers. If I could rate this at zero stars I would. The Duke was a bit annoying to start out with and I was hoping a gradual warming to his wife would kinda redeem him a bit, but in less than a single chapter the entire thing was ruined for me. Chapter 6 turns him suddenly into an ultra-jealous, crazy-clingy, inconsiderate (though he was already inconsiderate before) man who cannot even bother to listen to reason or his wife and forces intimacy when she's literally telling him to stop. It comes out of NOWHERE! One minute he's telling her not to smile at men because she's too beautiful when she smiles and the next minute he's declaring love and forcing himself on her. Thankfully he doesn't fully go through with penetrative intercourse yet but he forces s3%ual contact with her and dirty talks this poor woman during it while she's yelling at him to stop it. His wants and desires are clearly the ONLY thing that matter to him. Not a single ounce of consideration for his wife throughout the entire thing except a single moment of apology for a single interaction of bad behavior somewhere around chapter 3. I know that women historically weren't given a choice about being intimate with their husbands, but in a modern romance story, I'm not going to accept a ML who behaves that badly as a character I can support even a minute amount. So, no. I'm completely disgusted by this dude and will be dropping it right away.
