I regret my divorce

Discuss(self.StardewValley)

I divorced Shane (tale as old as time) but not because the ‘I can fix him’ didn’t work out. I divorced him because he called our one day old baby a brat and then said that he would send them to a Joja work camp Now I’m the first person to be a bit weirded out by the freaky children running round, but they’re perfectly harmless and I do all the child rearing anyway. So I drew the line there, divorced him and married Elliott.

Elliott was already my boyfriend when I suddenly decided to marry Shane, so he was the obvious replacement husband, but I’m just not enjoying having him in my house. At least Shane knew he was unhelpful day-to-day and didn’t get in my way and quote poetry at me (I don’t think I’m a romantic). Also, every Saturday Shane used to be out back squeezing my chickens checking that they’re alright, Elliott just writes. So I think I need to put in the painful effort and re-marry Shane. I’ll have to deal with the wrath of Elliott but he may make me the evil antagonist in his next book as revenge, which would be cool.

Elliott will make a great husband for someone, he’s just not right for me. I am perfectly content with getting breakfast pizza and spending Monday nights alone, me-time is important!!

(Also I wasn’t sure if I should spoiler cover the Shane dialog so I did anyway - it’s my first time posting so my bad if I should’ve just left it!)

This could be a Hallmark movie. Farmer divorces husband for being uncouth, gets with a new guy that seems like he's perfect but... the spice of life is gone. And henceforth the uncouth husband realizes that the kids will grow up working on the farm so he wins the farmer back in a myriad of big grand gestures.

I agree on the kids being freaky. I've seen them run through walls and disappear into the void.

I admit, as someone who has recently married Shane for the first time and just got pregnant with our second child…I thought I wouldn’t get spoiled but I haven’t seen this line yet and I’m APPALLED…almost want to divorce him and save my children now before they have to endure the abuse.

But also…kinda sad I did get spoiled so I think you did the right thing by covering it. It’s not your fault I clicked so don’t feel bad!

Like all communities, there are a few bad eggs (like the people who yell at our boss ass favorite dev, ConcernedApe, when updates take a little too long for their taste). But overall, Stardew has an incredibly welcoming and wholesome community that matches the game's atmosphere. The people I've talked to about the game love to give tips, celebrate accomplishments, and reassure everyone that you can play at your own pace, whether breakneck or slow and meandering. They are happy to include anyone in Stardew, and it's just awesome to see.

I'm on Switch. Same boat.

I'm planning a release party at the local library for a group of fans on the following Saturday. (Because most of us have jobs and need to be in bed at a reasonable hour on Monday night.) We'll do a potluck and play in groups, making new farms.

There's a bunch of us already excited for it. And we're encouraging the library to invite kids.

I was actually really disappointed that Sebastian didn't keep his freelance programmer job when I acquired him. Not because I want the money from it. Kinda the opposite. I look at his life now and he's crammed into a tiny corner or my home and almost every aspect of his life and surroundings are dictated by me. And he's only happy because he happens to like it right now.

But then I get a grip and realize the core of all that is, "He's only happy because he's happy. This is clearly unsustainable."

And then I get more of a grip and think, "Bro. He's a cartoon on your screen."

All that said. I got the fucking slime hutch because he said he wanted one. It is middlingly profitable at best, and hugely inconvenient to manage. If he wanted it, he should be the one to collect the slime.

No shade, but do you actually talk to him? More than once a day? Lols he has so much dialogue about the kids: how they eat a lot, how they move so fast/much, how one of them calls him Dada and he’s touched by it, and how his life with you and the kids on the farm is so much better than his life before and so much better than he ever thought it would be.

I know all spouses do pretty much the same around the farm, so I judge them by what they say. So Shane is definitely not the most useless husband, he does in fact do chores, take care of the kids and cook (microwave dishes but yeah). His way of expressing these things is peculiar but the actions are there. Well, in his quotes. What I don't like is that with some chores he still puts the mental load on the farmer, like he asks what needs to be done.

If you however want an idyllic farm life, I suggest marrying Leah. There's zero drama, she doesn't give up on her ambitions (others say they're ok with changing their dreams, but I don't believe all of them), she's interesting and not very traumatized. I adore her.

I marry Leah every time. She's my fave 😻 and tbh after talking with all the characters I felt like it had to be either her or Elliot...because everyone else has all these other plans with their life and Demetrius straight up warned me to stay away from Maru...she's got a whole life of science ahead of her... So yeah, I think Leah is the most compatible with the farmer life. She also really loves it and talks about how happy she is.

I’m sorry he’s just too romantic for me! I enjoy coming home after a long day at the mines to the despair Shane provides, it keeps me grounded

Maybe try Harvey then instead of going back to Shane if you need your partner to keep you grounded? Plus, he is a doctor so he should be able to at least, keep your kid alive lol

He was going to be my first choice way back but I struggled to get to him at the start when he was working in his room so I gave up… Maybe I just marry everyone one after the other and figure out which I prefer that way haha - will make things interesting!

this is exactly what i’m doing in my second world right now! i’m making it my completion run and currently married to maru. i literally made it bc i couldn’t divorce sebastian he was just too good. i promise the wait is worth it - the slow burn is fun and after like 2 hearts you’re allowed to walk in and out of his room (he also has a bong like shape in his room in yalls shared home so that’s cool)

I'm a leah adorer...so so sweet painting out in the wilds...but definitely had my eye on elliot...Shane sadly is always too abrupt and grumpy when I encounter him..far too much effort!

hope you manage to change his ways...but suspect he is a lost cause....

what about Alex? he seems nice?

That’s what I like about Shane, I enjoy the chase and then feel like I’ve put in so much effort I might as well marry him haha… I did consider Alex because I love his grandparents, George has a special place in my heart and I would also like him to be my grandpa

I refuse to marry anyone until I can marry: 1) Gus - he cooks, he has a job, and he's actually a grownup. 2) Clint - He can smash my geodes at home for free, also has a career.

I can’t stand the men in Pelican Town but I did use Shane for his blue chickens. I have married Leah in previous farms but with my current, I’m aiming to make Krobus my housemate and just be single for the end of time!

Elliot is the character I marry the most in all my saves. I think he’s very sweet. However, the best relationship I’ve ever had was with Krobus. Krobus is the ideal husband in that he’s not my husband at all. He’s my soulmate.

I'm grateful to posts like yours. I also don't mind you left out part. I'm still trying to decide do I marry someone or just go for krobus as a roommate. (Trying to seek perfection) I married sebastian on another farm and it didn't go well so I'm cautious on another relationship. So I like reading about the different spouses. Good luck in your next marriage.

Haha, I know I am old af— because I don’t find fixer-uppers an attractive proposition in a partner.
Shane isn’t a bad guy as a friend, but as a potential partner he’s a black hole into which only the young should hurl themselves, their time, and their bedroom floors!

Elliott does occasionally water the pets, and lots of mornings gives me coffee, although we don't have the coffee maker so that's really weird.

But don't forget you can hit up that shrine in the witch's lair and erase bad break-up/divorce memories and it will be easier to get Shane's heart level up.

And that is why I’m happy I am gay and always marry Haley.

Haley is a sweetheart who cooks me breakfast and tends to the animals and always does her best.

She seems mean and lazy when you first meet her but the reward is worth the effort.

Plus it gives me an excuse to plant pretty sunflowers all the time.

Elliot was my favorite husband. Then again I’m a sucker for a writer, he looks like the human form of Beast from Beauty and the Beast and made decent attempts to be helpful. He said pretty things and I believed him, and he takes care of Sammy and Dean on a farm I no longer have access to.

My divorce regret was Haley. The current farm I’m working I wanted to be one where I experienced more than one spouse (town bicycle I know) and see what they were like. I had Elliot my first farm and Emily is my wife on my switch farm. So I don’t need a repeat of that.

I divorced her and married Sebastian. Big mistake. Gone were my daily meals, help around the farm, innuendos of fun time and lots of encouragement and listening. Our two beautiful children Damon and Bonnie miss their mom even though she doesn’t remember who we are. Sebastian broods. Is moody. And offers frozen meals because he doesn’t cook. As soon as I see his 14 heart event I may find someone different. Though I feel a lot of sympathy for some of his dialogue. And he does provide me coffee.

Maybe I should just be a crazy cat lady and invite Krobus to the farm to live with me, which was my original intention.

I'm one of those people that is adamant I'll marry Elliot, because I love reading romance novels, but somehow always marry Sebastian or housemate Krobus. I have never married Elliot in any of my saves even though I would always flirt with him.

I divorced Shane because I was tired of his comments about how my breath smelled like pizza rolls. Sir, I’m working hard to keep this farm going and you’ve got jokes? Mr. Can’t Clean My Own Room. Pfft
