Q for the Shane Spouses
I've been keeping Shane at 13/12 hearts since marriage, and most of the dialog has been consistent. He has up and down days, but nothing surprising... Until recently, one Friday night he returned from the saloon beligerent and rude, criticizing the state of the house. I've greeted him every morning and evening, but this is the first time such dialog has appeared. It's also not listed on the wiki.

Has anyone else come across this? Are other Shane spouses finding this dialoge regularly, and I've just had luckier RNG?

Maybe your house lacks space?
Was it raining? I heard rain can cause the spouses to get a bit mcdepresso.

I'd just upgraded and we have no kids. It was winter, but I can't remember if it was snowing. I'm inclined to say it was not.

Did you gift one of the marriage candidates? Sometimes your spouse will get a bit pissy over it.

If not, it'd be best to assume it's just a one-time thing that happens now and then.

Ah, that's a possibility. From what I've read of other spouses, they usually call out targets of jealousy by name, and Shane did not, so it didn't occur to me.

I really hope the dev(s) offer a no-jealousy option and/or polyamory in future editions. I would never put up with this crap irl, lol...

Personally, I find it a bit funny.

But yeah, that'd be nice.

Typically they complain about the house if they bump into something between the bed, fridge and front door. They need an open path.

Never had Shane get jealous, probably because I wooed everyone before settling down ;) However, I got a new dialouge from Lewis the other day, spring, walking in town (going to his house to be specific) he was freaking out about taxes and balancing the budget, don't remember the exact words nor did I think to screenshot it (always forget about taking screenshot until after the event has passed, then I think "oh I should've taken a shot of that"). But I'd never seen it before (across multiple save files) I wonder if a recent update added some new dialouge?

I had this too when I married Shane. I don't think it's so much got to do with jealousy as it does he just turns rude after drinking. You'll notice you'll see him at the saloon still on Friday evenings, it's the only day he designates to booze out soooo yeah. I think it's just a part of his character.

I had it once when I was married to him. Ticked me off and I didn't give him a gift that day.

Okay, after some experimenting, I've ruled out jealousy as a factor. He does have jealousy text (same as other spouses, asking about 'secret gifts' and I just want to tell them to grow the f*** up...), but this text has occured on both days when I have given others gifts and on days when I refrained.

It is invariably on a Friday, but not every Friday, and occurs only when Shane enters the house with myself already inside after his saloon visit (around 11:00 p.m.).

I still need to test whether the appearance of this dialog happens anytime I am home before he is on Friday or if luck is a factor.

One last update:

I tested for luck, and it seems to make no difference. He seems to have just as much chance giving this dialog on bad-luck days as much as very lucky ones.

I wish there was a "Can we talk?" or "Where is this coming from?" dialog option to respond to it.
