Aside from the ethical aspect ... I view this relationship in the "ta'veren" pull aspect of WoT. Rand needed his three ladies; Perrin needed the falcon and eagle; and Mat needed Tylin to meet Tuon. They were threads drawn to the ta'veren to help them fulfill their purpose in the pattern. That is...

Thank you, Analiese :) The pleasure is mine :bow

Very well said :) Moiraine 40+ years and Thom 50+ years are not a roaring 20's romance.

Thom's talents are many and diverse; and he is more experienced ;)

Nothing compared to taming Morgase's temper (and other things) ;)

He knows how to tumble the highest in the land :waggle Post 500, now fitting to be talking about Thom's masculinity and exploits!

True; Thom-Moiraine was more subtle, less likely to be noticed. Mat's reaction to their proposal after Moiraine's rescue was classic. He just went nuts and asked, "when did I miss this?!" or something like that. And we also know that Thom didn't stop himself from other relationships even after...

One of my rereads concentrated about relationships and romances. Rand and the ladies, Perrin and Faile, Mat and Tuon, Thom and Moiraine, etc... Knowing that these couples would end up together, I read the books to see where they started and how they developed. The difference between Thom and...

The foreshadowing to Moiraine and Thom started in book 1. Some people are saying that Min told Moiraine about marrying Thom in Baerlon. And there were minor hints of Moiraine liking Thom's personality right from Taren Ferry during their escape from the Two Rivers. Moiraine also assures Rand and...

Androl and Pevara are odd; Logain and Gabrelle are a strange couple.

Oh, don't worry; I was tagging along with your comment :) no need to apologize :bow

True, Nynaeve's hatred of Moiraine was born out of the her view that she failed in her duty towards the Emond Fielders because of Moiraine. I don't think she was that jealous of Moiraine. Oh it grated on her that Moiraine had the bond of the man she wanted. But it was minor compared to the...

Interesting take on the relationships, Polegnyn :) My opinion is that Nynaeve's relationship with Lan was the most detailed, long, and thorough of all relationships. It was just that the initial attraction started off rather unexpectedly. Nynaeve hated Moiraine, truly, for a few books. But the...

Morgase and Martyn was a good one too. I liked how that progressed. As to Mat and Tuon, I liked how they talked to each other. They got to know each other as reasonably as possible considering their circumstances. Like other couples, they were destined to get married; but they worked on it. A...

The only courtships that made some kind of sense were Rand-Aviendha, Mat-Tuon, and Siuan-Gareth. There might be others; but I don't remember them now.

Whoever gets Berelain is one lucky man! In addition to being a stunning beauty; she is capable, and has spirit! I love how the Wise Ones took her under their wing; and Sorilea was wondering if she could find a suitable husband among wetlanders "if such a man exists." I think this relationship...

True; which is why I'm having so much trouble with it. I don't hate Dobraine enough to do that to him. But Cenn would learn some manners from Lini :) Gill is too young for Lini :) I'm sure he'd rather marry his old cook than Lini.

Lol, thanks :) But I cannot find a match for Lini; maybe Cenn has an outside chance.

I'd love to see a Selucia - Karede union :) They'd be a perfect mother/father-in-law for Mat :rofl His favorite Seanchans :smooch
