The cheating bit... i'm not generally in favour of cheating in stuff. But Elixabethan England where divorce was practically unheard of and they imply it wasn't working with his wife... I mean in the fly speck time on earth where you're trapped in a loveless marriage living separately and unable to divorce - you expected him to turn away from someone he fell madly in love with?

It's the reason marriage can't exist without no fault divorce imo. People change, sometimes we grow apart. Trapping people together in a mockery of a relationship cheapens marriage as a whole.

I mean, sorta? meaning you can have that discussion in a mutually broken marriage that you're both free to see other people. but I think this is up to the script not making it work (i.e. meaning they could absolutely have established that open marriages were possible).

Not really. That would have been a huge anachronism.

that's not a reasonable reason not to do it in a movie where QEI decides to go to a public performance lmao.

besides which you think open marriages in the performer class are anachronistic in a time where performers and playwriters were barely above prostitutes and pimps? also lmao. the movie opens with willy trying to sleep with someone's mistress, I think a quick "my wife wouldn't mind, you can send her a letter" wouldn't have ruined anything.
