To all those arguing about Triss or Yennefer, please remember a few  things.

Both women, and their relationships with Geralt are not black and white. They are very complex relationships, with much being said in subtle ways. Their relationships are not just black and white, they fall in a very grey area. I think this is important to remember, and why people get so invested in this topic, is because human relationships are very much like this in reality. No one is perfect--Triss and Yennefer both make mistakes, as well as Geralt. They may have hurt each other at one point in time, but the three genuinely all care about each other, and I think thats why emotions run high between them all. Just imagine if one of your best friends slept with your significant lover, either while together or not. Most people would have a difficult time digesting that, despite whatever justifications or reasons be. People complaining about the attitudes of Triss and Yennefer also need to remember that they have emotions, and have a right to express those emotions. We get too accustomed to Geralt, who still has emotions, but just doesnt express them as openly and as much. So in comparison Triss and Yen can come off as extremes, when in reality, they are just humans expressing their emotions. Ultimately their actions speak louder than their words, as both go on to do great things.

Those who say that Yennefer is just terrible to Geralt, are forgetting the very sweet moments she has with him in the books and the games. I see many focusing on the "bad" elements of the characters and forgetting about the "good" moments.

Geralt and Yennefer are linked, maybe by destiny, or was it just the djinn? Or maybe just not at all, and its just coincidence thats brings that back together again and again. Their relationship reminds me of something I have heard said before, "You don't always choose who you love." I think this can apply to Geralt and Yennefer's relationship. Sometimes you just love someone unconditionally, no matter what happens. Just like the bond children and parents have.

Finally, I would like to also remind people that Geralt, Yen, and Triss all grow throughout the entire series. They fall and stumble, only to then suceed, and so forth. They mature and change their views and opinions. I think they grow for the better, overcoming their past mistakes.

Just my two cents.
