WTH did she get married in the first place!?!?
Jeez, if all she wanted was a roommate...
Get a cat.
A dog would want too much intimate contact; you know where they stick their noses.
Oy.
I'ma gonna start channeling
@kronix now... well, maybe not.
But at this rate, she'll be able to get the marriage annulled on her Golden wedding anniversary... because it was never consummated.
The doujins... are our only hope, Obi-Wan.
All that said, there is a fair amount of humor in this.
It's a trope, yes, but a nicely done take on it.
Which will make the inevitable parodies that much more fun, if they can capture the author's style and characterization.
I mean, jeez, have they even
kissed?
No.
Have they... gasp... HELD HANDS!?!?
It's clear they've never been dancing...
OK, so I'm channeling a Kinder and Gentler kronix.
