So, I married Mjoll (from Riften) a couple of days ago (many hours of play).
And I decided that I didn't want to be married with her anymore (but I didn't want to lose her as a potential follower.)
So, I removed her Essential status using the console and then killed her. Then I set my RelationshipMarriage stage to 10, (so NPCs respond to me wearing the Amulet of Mara). Then, I resurrected Mjoll and gave back all the items I had enchanted for her. Then, I set her essential status back on (I dunno why she has it, but she seems to be the only follower who is immortal. So, to be safe, I put it back on.)

She acted fine. I took her back as a follower and walked her back to Riften where I told her we needed to split up for a while. It was night time, so she went straight into Aerin's house and slept in her bed.

I went outside and waited until morning and I found her walking around the market as usual. She still refers to me as 'friend' and she responds to me wearing the Amulet of Mara.

So, then to test it... I fast travelled to Markarth and then back to Riften... and she's gone!
I can't find her. She's not in the market, and she's not in Aerin's house, and she's not in the Bee and Barb.

Oh, yeah, and I killed Aerin like right after I married Mjoll -- (rather, I had Mjoll wait in our house in Whiterun while I walked Aerin back to Riften. and he tragically was mauled to death by a Sabercat on the way).

Anyone have any idea where Mjoll might be?

She's right beside me, pal. Too late, ha ha ha.

She probably quantam leaped out of existence. Using the console can be dangerous.

Well, you may have missed a few things with your mucking about in the console. I guess like life, divorce is messy in Skyrim.

Have you waited 73 game hours yet then went back to where you first met her?

You never knew what you had until it was gone. Lousy b'tard.

You destroyed her scripts. NPCs have ondeath scripts. They do not have onresurrect scripts. They get their initialization from the scripts that spawn them. Scripts you did not use to resurrect her with.

As far as the game is concerned, she stopped existing the first time you killed her. She was as good as a corpse on the ground, but could walk.

What I'm saying is that she came back wrong. She's right behind you and she wants to eat your brains. Don't look, because she'll hide. She's waiting for when you least expect it. THEN BAM, ZOMBIE INVASION

Try entering "player.moveto 19DF7" into the console.
Should teleport you right to her. If nothing happens, she doesnt exist.

Haha!

She goes where every other heart-broken woman goes..

..into the arms of Ben and Jerry.

Well, after I resurrected her, I disabled her and enabled her.
This recalculated their stats, and I thought would also reset her scripts?

I dunno.

I also tried waiting 73 hours in Markarth before going back to Riften but she's still gone.

I'm guessing she didn't enjoy being jerked around like that, even if she was still civil to you in conversation.

If my wife killed me and resurrected me on a whim, then declared us divorced, I would say ooooookay honey, I still love you as a friend. Then about two seconds after she walked away I would be packing my bags.

Oooookay... so I found her.

Anyway, first thing I did was follow her around all day and she did her normal stuff until she went back to bed in Aerin's house.

Then I fast travelled to Whiterun and waited there a few days. And I fast travelled back to Riften and she was nowhere to be found...
So, I did what rEmEdEEh suggested and entered player.moveto 19DF4 (Mjoll's ref) and it took me somewhere strange :S

It's just this crossroad room. 4 black doors that lead nowhere (you fall and then pop back up in the room), two empty coffins, and a pile of corpses.
The names of the NPCs:

Heimskyr, Tynan, Nepos the Nose, Nana Ildene, Donnel, Uaile, Malborn (living), and now Mjoll the Lioness.

Heimskyr (the Talos preacher guy in Whiterun -- he randomly disappeared on me one day and I never found out where he went ... Until now D:)
Nepos the Nose, Nepos, Uaile, and Tynan were NPCs in a house in Markarth that I fought and killed.
Nana was in Markarth as well.
Didn't meet the others. :s

So, apparently divorcing someone also damns them to spend eternity in some weird Skyrim purgatory.

Oh well. Unless I can figure out how to split with her without having her sent here, I'll keep her as my spouse

If anyone figures out how to safely divorce, lemme know :]

Hmm I'm gona try that console command with Lydia maybe that's were she always ending up -_-

Oh my god

That is seriously freaking me out.

It makes sense from a game design perspective; clearly it's some kind of developer "trash can" for moving away NPCs that need to be taken out of the world for some reason.

But looking at it "in character", that is seriously [censored] up.

Great find

Yeah, because of this I've just stuck with Mjoll as my wife.
I wanted to get a different one because I like to have my spouse also be my follower, but Mjoll is very annoying... I dunno if it's just my game but she just does not shut the hell up
"I remember a bandit tried to rob me on the road one day. When I drew Grimsever, I think the poor man soiled his armor!"
"My father wanted me to follow in his footsteps as a hunter, but I set my aspirations a bit higher. He never complained. I miss him."
"My mother was a strong woman. It was she who blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah."

And more.
Over and over.

Ok. I know already.

That's enough!

Other followers don't seem to do this. I ran around with a few different ones and they have more dynamic dialogue, responding to what I'm doing, etc.

So, I wanted to marry a different follower. But I like Mjoll still, even though she's a pvssyrbox. And I don't want her to spend the rest of the game in an eerie room full of corpses


I tried to just set my relationship status back to single without removing Mjoll as my spouse. Other NPCs comment on the Amulet of Mara when I wear it, but the option to marry them is not there.
