AITA for wanting my fiancé to focus more on me than on his family?

Last year I got engage to the man of my dream, a real tale of star-crossed lovers, he's wise, loyal and loving. For the longest I thought it be long distance at best, but circumstance led him to immigrate and move in with me (To be honest it was relate to some health issues he was having, the place he's from has terrible healthcare and it's likely he would have died, but our romance existed long before that)

I hold a very stressful high stake job me made worst that a lot of people (INCLUDING MY OWN SISTER!) find our interracial relationship repugnant. While it has made my life harder, but he's always there to support me and he tries to make better things all the time.

However, I find my patience to be tested as of late. He keep getting message from his homeland apparently there's some crisis. He doesn't know or at least doesn't me give the details, but he's already ready to leave . I always had the impression that the place was always very dangerous, but for some reason this time it's worst than ever. I'm scared that if he leave I might never see him again. A former political activist is bound to get into trouble.

He has adopted kids that stayed there, mind you they are adult and he told me when we got engage that they were old enough to take care of things on their own, but each time I see them they always seem embroil in some sort of drama and once one of them got involved in a MASSIVE vandalism incident (we were very lucky nobody died when that happen). I never had great relationship with them, we often got into conflict during our former meeting. I don't think they make him happy.

I know he wants to do the right thing, but I feel he should stay with me. He'd be safer and happier.

So am I the asshole?

People surprised at the Xavier-Lilandra "as if I am your pet. Not entirely a displeasing thought." "You may bark later" exchange as if Lilandra didn't openly make jokes about doctor-patient roleplay (her as doctor, Charles as patient) in the comics. This is not new for them.

I want to talk about Kallark, Gladiator, because I like him a lot. Not as person, but more as a cool character.

He's present in the new ep of X-Men 97, don't have many lines and just standing there and being cool most of time. But, seeing Charles discussing with the Shi'ar about their government made me think about Gladiator's role in all of this, specially after he agreed with Charles about 'idealism being a sign of insanity', and because of his past.

I'm gonna try to put it into words as best I can. It's too long and i just want to ramble about one of my favorite underrated character(s).

Gladiator is the praetor, he's known for being extremely loyal to the Empire, to the person that sits on the throne, no matter who it is. Yet, hes known for being honorable and having respect for those who beat him up or have high morals, that includes Lilandra, for her kindness, Rachel, Charles and Cyclops (though we know he would not hesitate to fight them if it meant protecting the empire)

Right, he's too prideful, but that's because his powers comes from his confidence on himself. And what bugs about me in his character is that he's too loyal to this government, and they're the solely reason he's the last one of his species and he knows that what they do is wrong.

In War of Kings: Warriors we see Kallark thinking about his past while under the rule of Vulcan.

The Shi'ar are a imperialist and colonizing government. They invade other planets and force these civilizations to kneel under their ruler, and depending of the planet, these can people will end slaves for the Shi'ar without rights. This happened to Kallark's people.

The strontians are/were a very powerful species that even the Shi'ar were scared of their power, but they're mostly gone now, with Kallark, his son Kubark and his cousin Xenith being the last living ones.

Kallark was born to be a soldier and trained to serve the Shi'ar Empire, together with his peers, other strontians of his age, his close friends. And all of them were loyal to the Shi'ar, wanting to prove themselves worthy of being part of the Imperial Guard.

Of course, Kallark was chosen because he was the most dedicated. The only thing the Shi'ar didn't liked about him is that he would often leave the missions to save his peers.

So they test his loyalty by making him attack his own people and kill them to see which one he would choose, his family or his duty. In the end he ends dooming his people by doing exactly what the Shi'ar asked, and it's fucked up.

The elders even say that they knew that Kallark could never turn his back to his duty, because "he's a good soldier". His family dies knowing he had chosen the Shi'ar and not them, his friends die disappointed on him.

The flashback ends with Kallark wodering if he would still follow Vulcan if it meant the fall of the empire, and Kallark decides that he would, because Vulcan is the Emperor and Kallark is loyal to the throne.

And that's what makes me hate him! He's too loyal. To the wrong cause. He's so loyal to the empire he ends up forgetting things he actually cares about, like Lilandra's love for him and his own son.

He loves them deeply, he cares for his people, his friends from his home planet, his friends from the Imperial Guards, his soldiers, his son. However, he can't let go of being a soldier.

We don't know much about his past or what the Shi'ar Empire did to Strotia, but it's clear they forced and pushed their ideals and rules on the young strontians to turn them into loyal weapons. And after years and years of serving the crown, Kallark can't change.

He's fully aware of the atrocities the royal family, the elders, the people in the power do to other civilizations, yet he stays by their side.

That's why when he agreed with Charles in X-Men 97, and Charles started explaining to them how their system was harmful, I was wondering if Kallark feels guilty. If it even crosses his mind what he had done to his own people.

In the comics, when Lilandra is desposed from the throne and the elders try to kill her, Kallark, who has been working for Vulcan until now, despite hating doing so, stays on Lilandra's side.

He loves her, it's obvious, he respects her and knows she only has the best interests in her heart. He even refers to her as 'Majestrix Lilandra'. He mourns her death later, he goes in a blind rage massacre, he kills everyone in sight and Black Cloak even says 'it would be painful for him to live without her'.

Later in Watxm Annual, an issue that focus on Kubark, his son, he shows how much he cares for him, how much he loves and is proud of Kubark's strength and grow.

When Kubark shows he's unhappy in his situation, being the only strontian in a school where every student must stay with their own species, Kallark doesn't listen to him. Kubark says he wants to be unique and choose his own path, Kallark denies, because it's 'not the way of the empire'.

It reminds me that Kallark, who grew up brainwashed to obey the Shi'ar, to believe that being a soldier is his only choice, expects his son to do the same.

In the beginning, Kubark did want to be a soldier like him, he hated being on Earth because he believed his destiny was to be a warrior. Then he learned he would be lonely if he did and he decided he wanted to be a hero. To be himself. And to choose.

Kubark choose to be loyal to his friends and make his own choices. Kallark did not.

So, if he's willing to change his mind and leave his job as praetor aside to protect someone he loves like he did to Lilandra, why he can't do the same for Kubark?

In the end he allows Kubark to go back to Earth. Later Kubark is back on Shi'ar, so we don't know if he was allowed to stay on earth just until he graduated. But he allows Kubark to go back and be himself, because be loves him.

But he stays the same. He never changes. He keeps making had decisions and committing mistakes and doing bad things for the empire.

Kallark is a Shi'ar by citizenship, but he's a Strontian, he's not considerate a Shi'ar, and he might not even have the same rights the Aerie Shi'ar have. He might be the most loyal and powerful soldier of the Empire, but he's nothing more than a strotian, and nothing more than a soldier. He's a soldier first, then majestor, a father, a friend.

Later when I discovered about his past and started to read about him I just made the same questions all the time: Why he never tried to change the way the Empire works? Why he never changed the bad things that the Empire did?

It would be interesting if the writers acknowledged that (that would be expecting much from Marvel). Kubark shows that he cares for Earth and his friends, that he's genuinely good and wants to do goods things. It would be interesting to see him trying to fight his father's ideals and the Empire.

It will never happen. Both these characters are underrated and were already forgotten by the writers, but I wanted to see it.
