I guess more fear than respect? But definitely not a "fear" that he'd voice. Caution maybe? It's a weird mix of things.

Point is, Sansa is essentially the North. She is the last surviving Stark (as far as anyone knows). It was like that old woman said before she got flayed the North remembers. Sansa is the kind of person that - now free from King's Landing and back in her ancestral home - can rally people behind her. Like not "her" her, but a combo of her and her father and her mother and her brother.

The main reason Ramsay marries Sansa is to solidify his claim to the North. Yes, the Boltons are cocky and smug but there's also a significant uneasiness. (It shows with Ramsay when Sansa taunts him about him bastard status.) They know that the majority of the North hates them. They might scoff it off and pretend they're above it and gloat about how they totally got away with the Red Wedding, but in the end they still have their house marry a Stark.

So... yeah.

I guess I was hoping for (and eugh, I use "hope" extremely loosely and more from a perspective of "I KNEW WHERE THEY WERE GOING WITH THIS AND STUCK MY HEAD IN THE SAND") something a little bit more grey than Ramsay not only violently rapes Sansa every night but also hits her and beats her to the point where he leaves bruises. I guess something more along the lines of very early Dany/Drogo, where - yes, it's still rape - but she's not walking out of her tent with black eyes either??? IDEK.

Then again, with some stupid commentators arguing that Sansa wasn't raped because she agreed to the marriage and that Dany/Drogo was never rape... well, maybe there's a reason we have to have stuff in black and white.
