Summary
Domestic bliss conceptually sounds like a death sentence. The bliss part seems misleading, in fact. It conveys a sort of ignorance of the rest of a world and a complacency that never sat well with Newt. He didn’t even know how to begin to unpack the concept of being considered domestic, because that was a whole other issue altogether. Still, he couldn’t think of many better ways to explain the way he felt about his personal life- especially when things were going remarkably right.
Now he’s been married for several years and instead of feeling annoyed or frustrated with this domestic bliss, Newt feels lucky. He’s got someone he loves to come home to (or with) in the evening and someone he wakes up next to every morning. That’s luck, something he doesn’t think he’s actually done anything to earn. That doesn’t mean he’s not going to do his very best to earn and deserve the love and joy he has. (When he voices as much to Hermann, he just shakes his head and gives him another serving of potatoes for dinner.)
