It’s interesting that you chose to not have him have children.  I’m curious why that was left out?  A lot of events in his life seem like things he did not want to do (no sign of happiness when getting married for example), but did anyways.  Married couples often get pressure to have kids.

Was not having kids the one thing he did choose that also went against social pressure?

Or is it just because he’s a mermaid and his wife was not, so conception not even possible?

And who put flowers in his grave if he divorce, had no friends and didn't have children?

Parents, cousins, neighbors, acquaintances, ex wife, maybe. People are usually remembered in death even if they were forgotten in life
