Late, as usual...

Oh, this was very well-rendered. I could see her feeling that way and may have touched on it in at least on fic of my own. I could very much see her feeling this way, for in my mind, she was aware and (possibly) fooling herself. I do think that she had to have known - at least on some level - and that a part of her understood what was going on while a bigger and more hidden part of her simply wanted to believe that her husband's relationship with her cousin was simply nothing. Sex? Friendship? A passing attraction? Remus comforting Sirius? I'm not sure what she thought, but I imagine she didn't want to believe that it was something deep

No such thing as a late review!

I appreciate anyone reading what I write at anytime. I say thank you very much for that right off the bat.

I'm not a Tonks hater

Nope. Neither am I. Taken by surprise when JKR wrote R/T romance? Yes. Not surprised in a good way? Yes. Considered it quite pointless to the plot since she killed them both at the Battle of Hogwarts? Yes. But the malcontent in their marriage is very worthy of speculation (woot! woot!) for fanfiction writers.

They both could have married for the wrong reasons and theorizing on the reasons that divided them are very writeable in fic using all

My biggest surprise at Remus/Tonks was that when I first read OotP, I begged Tonks as, shall we say, batting for the other team. Or, at least being a strong, independent woman woman who would be left ambiguous enough to be interesting. But, no. She got all annoying and weepy and over-girly. Uhg!

Yeah, I was angling for that, and I'm glad it translated. It's easy to think she was upset by seeing sex, though I don't think that's it. I tend to think it's a fond reminiscence Remus has of solemn vows with Sirius that Tonks interprets as a denunciation of her current marriage.
Sex is sex, but LOVE is different. To know that your husband had something deep and meaningful with someone else would be extraordinarily painful.

It doesn't really deal with Tonks, but this idea is mentioned in Samhain: http://community.livejournal.com/remusxsirius/2674005.html

I'd love to see a companion piece to this!

I will certainly be checking out Samhain, thank you!

I'd love to see a companion piece to this!

Ah, so would I, my dear, so would I. It's just so . . . so . . . ::becomes temporarily frazzled:: complex!

Whiny, over girly weepy Tonks? Augh, nope, no good. She needed a Weasley for their cheer, :D.
