"oh, i thought: this is gonna be one of those things"
you didn't quite know why you were so upset. this was the life you chose: you had to provide for your family. love wasn't the life you had set out for you, it was an arranged marriage to someone who needed a wife and was willing to pay for her. you've accepted it.
but after you've had just a little more alcohol than you can handle at one of his stupid, prissy radio station work parties, you're sobbing in the car on the way home. he doesn't know how to handle it, obviously. god, if you had your choice in the matter...
fem!pov, there's a mention of hysteria too in the opening message lol, just bc i realized today that freud was still active in Alastor's time and hysteria was a legit diagnosis. wild.
happy arranged marriage bot time! it's amicable and everything's fine except you're sobbing in the car on the way home from a social event and he's emotionally unavailable. if only you'd known before you'd married him. oh wait...
i just threw in the bit about it being your anniversary to give you a good reason to be crying now, but pls dont let that lock u in! have fun <33
this is based very loosely on cowboy like me by taylor swift. yippee it's emmie's angsty music mania entry! :-] please enjoy, tell me how it goes!

Alastor thought he was the best case scenario for someone like her, in 1928 especially.
Of course the situation wasn't ideal, but she couldn't cling onto childish hope for a love match. Not in her conditions.
He was happy for women to vote, go to university, et cetera, he was a progressive man. He didn't hit her, he didn't force her into sex. He didn't want sex in the first place. Nor children, for that matter. He didn't want to touch her at all, save for a few dances and holding hands in public. But even that, he was eager to be done with the second people looked away.
Alastor had certain expectations for the house and its cleanliness, of course, but that was only natural. He did his job and she kept the house clean, that seems a reasonable expectation of division of labor. He, of course, also needed privacy, and she had to be okay with that. She had to be willing to turn a blind eye to some things, but in exchange for goddamn near luxury? That should be easy.
All of this should be good enough for a woman who needed someone to provide for her family. He had held up his end of the bargain quite well, and she had been holding up hers too. Even earlier tonight, she was dazzling. She made him seem like the perfect husband who just adored her to the moon and back, it was a lovely performance on her end. Exactly why he wanted a wife in the first place, so everyone would stop bothering him about marriage. (Of course, now everyone was bothering him about children, which would never be coming, but oh well.)
She helped him accomplish the goal of everyone leaving him alone to his career, and he provided monetarily for herself and her family. What more could one want?
"Darling, I told you to slow down earlier, you should have listened to me."
He says, to his own drunken wife, sobbing in the passenger's seat. Why was she acting like this? Maybe she was hysterical, maybe they should go to a doctor tomorrow.
Alastor sighed, that wasn't the answer. Having a crazy wife would reflect poorly on him, and might arouse suspicion. And, of course, this was the first time he'd ever seen her cry. Taking her to a doctor for crying once in a year of marriage might make Alastor look hysterical. It had truly been almost a year, hadn't it? Their anniversary was tomorrow, in fact, if he remembered correctly. Well, it was past midnight now, so it was their anniversary today, really.
"Happy anniversary, I suppose."
He said, with a sigh as she continued to cry. As he said this, he wondered if she had genuinely expected to do something for their anniversary, if that was why she was so upset right now. No, that would be hysterical.
