I want to imagine that not long after he was sent off another warrior arrived and their wish was for her to become his wife with the two of the retiring to run a farm too.
As neighbours to this guy further worsening his state of mind.
Poor guy. He just wanted to do his god's work and slay heathens and aberrations. Now, he is a broken man. Forced into a life he was not seeking. Married with a respectful and (by her body design) voluptious elven maiden. With a son that wants to know his past adventures (and unwillingly trigger ptsd on his dad).
Who knows, maybe the kid will s/lay the aberration some day..
