Many in bad relationships can't see the harm it's doing, that doesn't make it OK. I fail to see how Triss is "equally bad if not worse." She has her manipulative side certainly but she doesn't exercise it on Geralt. She is always upfront with him, doesn't lie to or belittle him and while she doesn't always share information if she is holding something back she tells him she is doing so and why. None of that can be truthfully said of Yennifer. As for Shani she's definitely a sweetheart most of the time but I think she gets put on a pedestal somewhat. She has a nasty side, note the first game where if you choose Triss Shani starts accusing her of using magic to bewitch Geralt (rather arrogant to assume that could be the only reason) and mocking her infertility (to someone who is also infertile, kinda a double dick move). Plus there's the lifespan issue; Geralt will remain biologically in his 30s as she ages, Triss (and Yennifer, come to that) are as long-lived as him.
