Napoleon's Worries

The letter Napoleon wrote to his wife while he was away at war clearly showed that he was very upset because his wife addressed him as "Vous" instead of "Tu", had failed to only write him two letters in a matter of four days, and wrote very brief and short letters at that. Napoleon may have exaggerated a bit but in my opinion he was not obsessing over the fact that his wife's behavior seemed a little suspicious.  Relationships today have small arguments over the simplest reasons such as not hearing from each other in several hours or being called by your name instead of "honey" or "babe".  Considering the fact that Napoleon is at war far away and he probably misses his family very much, the fact that he got upset is understandable.  He feels that because of the lack of communication and formal language that maybe his wife is being unfaithful, and all he wants is reassurance that nothing is going on behind his back which is completely normal.
