Kick Kim, My husband has gone full medieval. He's stared
with a little harmless hysterical reenactment, but now he insists
on only referring to me as melady and bows to me.

(00:22):
In the supermarket. He greets our neighbor with hail good, sir,
and once challenged a delivery driver to a duel because
his package was late. Yeah. He drinks exclusively from a
pewter goblets. He calls out on Pacivic, his noble steed. Yes,
I love him, but I did not sign up for

like my twenty first century husband back? Please help me.

this medieval like weekends and weeks where they go to
different tournaments and they'd be jousting, sword fighting, axing, like
like I'll show you the phone.

She had bruises on her legs from when she had
a one on one fight with shields stop it and
chain mail and everything. Her brother was a king at
one stage, but they truly believed.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
And when he was a king, what do you mean
he just called himself a king? No?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
No, no, there was like tournaments where you there was
like if you won the tournament, you were the king
for that whole weekend, so and then if you were
dethroned the next tournament, then you went obviously king.
