So a lot of this sounds like Nienor to Turin, but there's also a lot that... doesn't. I think the resonances are intentional, though whether on your part or Tolkien's I couldn't say.
I'm trying to conjure up someone who killed someone they loved, while leaving a woman alive, and it's not coming to me. The tradegy still evokes Turin, but the only woman who survives that story is Morwen, and she definitely didn't stand aside.
