@KoolKing asked: Do I Have Commitment Issues?

I am ashamed to admit that I, King Henry VIII, have been accused of having commitment issues! A good friend of mine, who's name shall not be revealed, had casually brought up that I have had many wives in the past. At first, I did not think much of it. After all, it was fairly normal to have more than one wife. Then, this friend had brought it to my attention of the "cruel ways I broke up with all of my wives." Can you believe the nerve of that scoundrel! My reasons for cutting ties was completely reasonable and understandable! My first wife, Catherine, had failed to produce a male heir, which rendered her completely useless. What was the point of staying with her if she couldn't birth a son! Anne Boleyn also failed to birth a son, and not only that, she was also a witch! Wife #3 was Jane Seymour, who had finally gave birth to my son, Prince Edward. She died after she gave birth but... oh well. I married Anne of Cleves for what you would call a "business arrangement" but she had the face of a troll and there was no way I would ever want to be seen with a woman like her! I beheaded Kathryn Howard after she cheated on me. She got what she deserved in my opinion, that lying piece of scum. Catherine Parr, my current wife, has convinced me that she is loyal (at least much more loyal than Kathryn), and I have an intuition that she will last for quite a while. This doesn't mean I have commitment issues, though. I was quite loyal to them, but they had all wronged me! Can someone please prove my head wrong. I will make sure you have the same fate as Kathryn Howard if you do not support me.


I see where you are coming from, your honor, though I do believe that you may have commitment issues of some sort. Most people, peasants and royalty alike, only have from 1-2 spouses. Any nobleman would realize soon enough that there are certain limits when it comes to the wedding of women. Each woman mentioned in your question was most likely loyal to you (that is excluding Kathryn) but in my humblest of opinions, you shan't marry more until you figure why all these women leave you one way or another. I wish the best for you and Catherine and for this to be your final wife, I greatly wish. Best of wishes your honor.

@HandsomeHero123 asked: HELP!

I hath been fighting such a monster named Grendel for a small while. I hath recently defeated that hideous monster, though I'm sure you have heard of my great perilous feat from word around the town. In other words, the monster's mother has approached the terrified town of the Land of the Danes. Most see me as a heroic icon and I fear that I cannot defeat such a beast as its mother. I do not want to ruin my reputation by asking the public for help and ruining my heroic image, but I hath not an idea but what to do when fighting this beast. Please Help! My well how could someone have not heard of you and your perilous fight. My only advice to you is to see the light in your situation. Remember: You are the great Beowulf, you are the son of Beowulf, you are the father of Beowulf and no one can ever take that away from you. Look for strength in your mind to pull through to defeat this horrid beast.
