Geralt of Rivia looks like a man in his forties, and all because of mutations, but in fact he is much more. By the time you meet protagonist, his age is already over a hundred. Even though he is usually busy fighting monsters or other bad guys, there is time in his life to build romantic relationships.
The Witcher - he's still a heart. Apart from Yennefer of Vengerberg, one of the witcher's most iconic novels involves a red-haired sorceress Triss Merigold. There is a long and complex story between them, which begins in Sapkowski's novels and ends in the video game series. Despite the fact that many fans are rooting for this couple, it is a stretch to call their relationship healthy.
Geralt forgives her too easily
After memory loss Merigold for a long time she tried to hide some details of his life from the witcher. She did not tell him about his relationship with Ian and tried to inspire a different opinion in relation to her. As a result, his search for his beloved stopped for a long time.
Instead of being angry at her deceit, Geralt just mentions it in a few sentences. Neither of them remembers it again after this moment.
She tolerates his transgressions
Perhaps because of the previous act, the red-haired sorceress herself is more tolerant of his misdeeds. In a sense, this is a normal way out (in terms of psychology) for most women. Remember the return Ciri and a passionate kiss from Yenifer after that? Seeing it Triss just rolls his eyes defiantly. She wouldn't have to make a frank scene, but one would expect her to at least mention it in future episodes where the characters were alone.
Repeated cheating in a relationship
Of course, the player may decide to keep Geralt true, but it's not too hard to imagine that most would take the opportunity to romance multiple women.
For example, do not forget about the opportunity to make love with Ian at the coronation feast Skellige, as well as about the resumption of the affair with Shani after the meeting in Oxenfurt. The white wolf simply does not see anything wrong with cheating on a partner.
Envy towards a friend
Friendship between old friends cannot be called pure and bright. Without a doubt, they show great respect for each other and some kind of solidarity. A great example is the spicy quest "Three to Tango”, where friends unite for a kind of revenge. However, this does not negate the fact of envy and rivalry. For example, at one point in the game Merigold asks the protagonist about her friend, and regardless of the choice, she will be offended by the answer.
Sometimes she just uses it
Despite loud talk about his attachment to Geralt, Triss is easily offended and lost forever. When asking her to help her get the mages out of Novigrad, the player can refuse, and then change his mind.
If he does, he will no longer have the opportunity to ask the sorceress to stay with him. This means that she never had much interest in him and it was only attraction, but not true love.

Now let's move on to one of the most memorable episodes in the game - visiting masquerade ball. This happens during the quest "A matter of life and death". The skill of manipulation and deceit is perfectly shown here.
The whole moment is very intimate and even sensual. The only problem is that, by some miracle, she manages to sober up completely in just a minute. This makes it obvious that she only pretended to be drunk and stumbled to be embraced.
She easily survives a breakup
There is one more thing that shows that everything is not as rosy and clean as it might seem at first glance. Despite the fact that she acts like she loves him very much, there is a major revealing moment. It lies in the unraveling love triangle.
On refusal Jennifer she will be heartbroken, and will lash out at the Witcher several times. On the other side, Triss takes it much more calmly and doesn't mention the breakup unless you ask her directly about it.
Geralt lets her be tortured
After infiltrating headquarters Menge, witch hunters torture the sorceress while the protagonist talks and listens to her screams in the background. Although it was her idea, it is still strange that White Wolf can go through the whole scene of violence and not pounce on the guards. If it were in place Yennefer or Ciri, he would most likely have tried to help them long before he did so in the game.
Overdependence
Despite many shortcomings Geralt, Triss looks at him like he's perfect. It can be said that she is almost obsessed with him.
Merigold previously mentioned that they couldn't do it without her. However, if White Wolf asks her to stay with him, she leaves the ship and allows the mages to sail alone to an uncertain fate.
Poor understanding of the word "no"
One of the main red flags in behavior Triss - her inability to accept rejection. If Geralt have the courage to mention that they are no longer together in Witcher 3, the sorceress will immediately turn to him for help. And yet he did nothing wrong, but simply told the truth. If the Witcher doesn't mention their breakup, she doesn't understand why he kept quiet about it before.

Gone from an article written by a stupid fan of Yennefer. He writes such nonsense
Bullshit
Geralt forgives her too easily.
It's just that he forgives Yennefer too easily in Rinda. And he broke up with Triss right after Loc Muinne. Why would? So if this is an argument in the minus, then this minus is not for that sorceress.
She tolerates his transgressions
With this kiss, everything is clear and this is not Geralt's misdeed, but Yennefer's trick. Past. But the truth is that Triss is ready to forgive Geralt a lot. AND?
Repeated cheating in a relationship
If you first go to Skellige and only in the end to Novigrad, then all the same will work against other relationships. So pass again. But about oban in a relationship on a case ... Well, Istredd, Fringilla Vigo, Peephole ....
Envy towards a friend
Yes, envy. Yes, mutual. And what?
Sometimes she just uses it
She asks for help with the sorcerers. If it “uses”, then Geralt is only doing what they are using. And that it is easy to lose. Well, yes. They broke up violently, their relationship is seriously broken. And yes, they are not easy to restore.
drunk girl games
The atmosphere, the wine turned their heads, Triss succumbed to the moment. And what's wrong with that?
She easily survives a breakup
She's been through a breakup for six months now. In the game, you can’t part with her, you can’t restore relations.
Geralt lets her be tortured
Or does not allow. Here the choice of the player, as well as the choice between sorceresses. Past.
Overdependence
That Triss left the sorcerers and stayed with Geralt is a moot point. But as we know, they swam. So there are many explanations. For example, that she led them along the part of the path where they would not have coped. Or that it was just an excuse not to stir up the old.
Poor understanding of the word "no"
Some strange and far-fetched explanation
I think that parting with Triss is a convention from the developers to choose the best couple between them. it seems to me that in real life they would have continued the relationship after lok muine. I was surprised when they broke up.
What you wrote about the rest, in fact, everything is past
This article is super subjective. The fact that in the article about Gerald's relationship with Yen an interesting detail that only confirms the power of love is presented here as a verdict on the relationship. Everything is chosen specifically for the purpose of criticizing this option in every possible way, and not analyzing the relationship itself. Such a one-sided position is miserable, to be honest.
Triss' wankers ran into
Silence wretched Jeniferophilus
