The fact that Yennifer is sometimes nice to Geralt doesn't make it okay that she treats him like dirt at other times. In fact that's textbook; the bad boy/girlfriend behaves kindly sometimes to try and make the other party forget the mistreatment. Now I don't agree with the original poster that Geralt and Yennifer's relationship reaches the level of conjugal violence but I do think she can be verbally and emotionally abusive to him and if they're going to be together long term she needs to work on that. And no, giving her life for him doesn't make up for that either (not least 'cos he died anyway and neither death stuck). That's very romantic in the abstract but it doesn't remove the quite serious problems in their relationship.

Deciding to be with Triss on that basis is a very reasonable decision. I have nothing against those who decide to give Yen a shot and hope she and Geralt can work through their issues but I'm not convinced it's worth it myself. Triss is generally warmer and more affectionate and consistently treats Geralt with respect. Whether this will help Yennifer's behaviour shouldn't even be a consideration. It's not Geralt's job to "fix" her.

Also, sidenote, having a go at people for using "big words" when it's a quite appropriate term does your position no favours.
