Funny thing about Xaden....

Wingleader Xaden: Your arrogant high school crush

Iron Flame Xaden: Your controlling, manipulative, toxic ex, that demanded utter surrender from you while keeping secrets himself (for whatever respectful reason)

Venin Xaden: Your loving, emotionally mature husband declaring his love for you at every corner.

I understand now he knows the clock is ticking, but Xaden and their relationship overall went from toxic to mature in a flip of a ...channeling session (or two).

Edit: typo.
