The hero is incapable of empathy
Okay, so the 'hero' holds a grudge against his mother, who was married off to a manipulative old man when she was fifteen years old. The 'hero' never feels an iota off sympathy for her no matter what her backstory reveals. The 'hero' also refuses to consummate his marriage, so he just lies to his wife and tells his wife that he's dying. His wife says she loves him (when trying to get him to consummate the marriage) and he kicks her out of bed and he continues to let her think that he's dying. Then when she finally pushes him until he finally admits whatever the heck is going on with his broody manpain and he reveals his plan was to be to fake his death, leave her, and move to the US without her, allowing her to think hi!m dead. His rationale for this insanely selfish string of actions? 'Honor' (WTH? That makes no sense. Boo hoo he's a bastard ( literally as well as figuratively) What's honorable about abandoning your wife and faking your own death too be free of responsibilities??!). So this 'hero' thinks it's honorable to make his wfe miserable, turn her into a fake widow while allowing her to think someone she loved died (and he didn't even have to grovel for forgiveness fort this plan). AND he's willing to make his mother miserable for the rest of her life and allow her second child toi be born illegitimate because he is so self centered that only his own problems matter. Everyone else? Who cares about their pain and problems, he has his manpain darn it! That's all that matters. Everyone else will just have to cater to his ouchies. And then the whole thing is wrapped up in three seconds without a single character calling him on being a selfish manchild. He has to apologize for nothing. Everyone has to make him feel better, because if it isn't clear, the only thing that matters is him.
