Man really ignored the fact that she mentioned how Mark was almost beat to death by Nolan too. At least GG went out quickly but Mark took more hits than all the Guardians combined. Plus she has to live with the fact that all those people died cause of the man she loved

People want somebody to blame in situations like this. Nolan disappeared, so, his wife standing right in front of one of the spouses of the victims? She's the closest person to blame.

Plus, being married to him for 20 years, I can see how it'd be hard for him to believe she truly knew nothing. I could probably convince myself that she must've known something was wrong about him and just hid it.

Funny thing is Nolan probably didn't show warning signs anytime before Mark got his powers

He just learned to vibe and enjoy his little holiday human life because it happened quickly for him

Exactly, he's what, hundreds? Thousands? of years old, for him 17 years would feel like a day or two for a human. For him it would feel like how we feel when we fake a cordial personality at work.

I don't think that's how your life span that large would work.

Yeah time seems to get faster The more you age, But it's not like everything's playing fast forward for a Viltrumite.

That's exactly how it would work though. The more years your brain has to draw on, the less relative time a certain part of your life feels like. 5 year Olds, a hour is forever. 10 is a month. 15 a year is a long time. 20 5 years and so on. When your old af, 20 years would be a blip in his memories.
