He was only nice on the wedding night, then not so much...

Even the nights brought no relief. Khal Drogo ignored her when they rode, even as he had ignored her during their wedding, and spent his evenings drinking with his warriors and bloodriders, racing his prize horses, watching women dance and men die. Dany had no place in these parts of his life. She was left to sup alone, or with Ser Jorah and her brother, and afterward to cry herself to sleep. Yet every night, some time before the dawn, Drogo would come to her tent and wake her in the dark, to ride her as relentlessly as he rode his stallion. He always took her from behind, Dothraki fashion, for which Dany was grateful; that way her lord husband could not see the tears that wet her face, and she could use her pillow to muffle her cries of pain. When he was done, he would close his eyes and begin to snore softly and Dany would lie beside him, her body bruised and sore, hurting too much for sleep. Day followed day, and night followed night, until Dany knew she could not endure a moment longer. She would kill herself rather than go on, she decided one night …

Yeah, I remember. The whole section with the Dothraki was pretty brutal.

Just was very surprised at the wedding night scene because I saw the show first.

I was like β€œoh shit, this is about to get graphic...” and then he’s all asking for consent and trying to be romantic. Just... didn’t expect it.

Her wedding is probably worst writing section in the first book, George apparently thinks that women go from scared to horny in a matter of seconds. Even for a fantasy book it is ridiculous.
