Talk:Istredd/@comment-26832753-20150823120322

I don't know whether this was lost in translation or entirely overlooked, but I don't remember the actual terms and nature of Yennefer and Geralt's relationship ever being established to the reader. It's quite confusing to me. I mean, in the beginning of the short story, after Geralt slays the zeugl and returns to Yennefer, he asks about Istredd in a roundabout way, as if he is just trying to dig at her because he knows she doesn't like to talk about it. But the thing is, the author never outright states that Geralt was aware of the full extent of Yennefer's relationship with Istredd. Did he know that she had been sleeping with Istredd the whole time and accept it? Was it her emotional infedelity that hurt him, because when she finally had it out with Geralt and told him the truth about the marriage proposal, she implied that her liasons with Istredd were at her discretion and Geralt had no say in the matter. Does this mean that he knew and accepted that she slept with other men?
