When you search for Napoleon's quotes you quickly stumble upon one that talks about women being machines for birthing children.
You would assume that Napoleon was a bitter "misogynist" from the get go however he had an unlikely romantic side to him.
Napoleon would keep a picture of his first wife Josephine on him at all times and would be seen kissing it several times a day. He also wrote many romantic letters to her while campaigning in northern Africa. She in turn would often not even respond to his letters or was very dry and unemotional in them.
Eventually it came to light that she was cheating on him with what is described as a "handsome" hussar Hippolyte Charles.
The guy who cucked him was doing it for years and by some claims even managed to get wealthy mostly because of business deals with his wife. Can chad ever lose?

"On March 17, 1798, the two lovers were denounced to Napoleon, sending him into a great rage. However, Josephine was able to soothe him and convince him that the rumours were untrue. In July 1798, when Bonaparte was in Egypt, the infidelities of his wife were once again reported to him. He wrote to his brother Joseph to prepare for divorce Josephine rushed to him to try to change his mind about the divorce. However, Napoleon had taken a seamstress serving in his army named Pauline as his mistress and sunk into a deep depression. When Napoleon was younger, he had been involved with a young girl named Desiree de Clary, a woman whose family refused Napoleon her hand based on his lower status. Nicknaming her Eugenie, Napoleon continued his love affair with her via a remote correspondence. While in this depression, Napoleon wrote a story entitled ‘Clisson and Eugenie’, which detailed the tragic affair between an army officer and his lover, who gradually drifts away from him in the end while he is off on service. Napoleon, always afraid of abandonment, as evidenced in his brief literary segue, used Pauline as a bartering chip for the hand of Joséphine. Although Napoleon sought a divorce, he would forgive Joséphine after she promised to end her affair. "
