Tbf he was in love with her and he probably married his wife out of convenience and responsibility. He never got over her although for a while he deluded himself into thinking he did. He never got closure so he’s suffering bce of it. I kinda feel bad for the wife but I doubt she ever expected love from him, she just did her duties. Plus it’s not like he had an affair, he didn’t act on his desires while he was married. They just kissed once and that was probably before he got married since he was clearly still hung up on her. I’m just glad he still cared about his children and prepared for the future in order to protect them but that just my opinion
Yes I’m also glad this isn’t the “I hate my children because I don’t love their mother” trope, but I wish his wife got a few thoughts from him ☹
The fact that johan never once thought of his dead WIFE and MOTHER OF HIS CHILDREN while he couldn’t stop fantasizing about his failed situationship.
