If you two paid attention to the lore behind Rowena and Gerolt you would realize it's the other way around. It's as much Rowena is keeping him on the hook as Gerolt giving her reason to do so on purpose despite what he said.
They were husband and wife, and Gerolt loved Rowena dearly. But she's obsessed with ambition and was about to get herself killed. Gerolt decided to step in and did certain thing - the short version is he bankrupt Rowena but at the same time saved her life. This made them divorce, and Rowena set out to rebuild her fortune/ambition, it might have started out she got him on the hook to pay back what he made her lose but this is just Gerolt's excuse to stay by Rowena and support her dream while keeping an eyes on her. He still loved her despite no longer being her husband. Remember Gerolt had paid off his debt several times, and each time he always did something dumb to be indebt to her again. Do you think he's that stupid? And someone as smart Rowena probably realize his intention long ago and just play along.
