I don't think the problem was ever that you were sleeping with Triss anyway, but that you fell in love with Triss, and that would continue to be the problem as you went forward in the game; both of the woman want themselves to be the *one* you love, they both pretty much accept that Geralt sleeps with other women on the side but love is another matter altogether.

It's a pure speculation.Just because Triss is a bi,doesn't mean she slept with Yen.
Yeah, it was heavily implied. I'm looking through the books for a specific spot but their bisexuality was always pretty clear.
Blood of Elves
Didn't realize Triss (or Yen for that matter) went both ways. Don't think that comes across at all in the games.
It was never mentioned in the books,that Yen had any interest in women.
Damn, Triss is Bi? That might make the decision easier for me! LOL. Just kidding.
I played all the games, but I only read the Last Wish, so it's a tough choice for me. I haven't done the Triss quests in Novigrad or the first Skellige quest in TW3 on purpose. I'm avoiding the decision for as long as possible, but I'm running out of quests to do. Haha! Also, I'm waiting the patch to fix the glitch in the romance dialogue choice in Triss' quest where you get "locked in."
But you, as the player, should pick who you want. It's your game, your Geralt. Don't worry about "canon" or books vs. games. That will drive you nuts, as it does me. I must admit though, the flame wars are quite amusing between the 2 camps. I'm here on the sideline enjoying it very much.

I searched the texts this afternoon and found the same thing. Triss dabbled, but no indication of anything with Yennefer. Yennefer, no indication of experimenting with women whatsoever.

Hmm... It's a strange poll really. You can like how Yen's body and face look like but she expresses all the classical features of a psychopath (both in books and in the game). So, unless you're a masochist, in real life you will deeply regret ever choosing Yen. Triss is a better person than Yen in all aspects, except, may be, looks for some people, period.
Triss is not quite a character I'd personally choose with to live forever after (in real life) just because she's way too childish for grown up woman (she should be around 40 years old by the Witcher universe lore). Unfortunately, in the game we have no other alternative(s) for a semi-permanent relations.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Fringilla is a love interest option in a DLC.
I think you need to re-read this thread as well as this one here:

Personally I simply can't stand Yen, and my dislike increases every time she opens her mouth and speaks! 
But when I got to the Last Wish quest I was kind of touched by her resolve and effort to settle the matter (are she and Geralt really in love or just hopelessly bound by magic) once and for all and, for a weak moment on my part, I let Geralt say he loved her.
Also, the way I see it, Geralt's the type of guy who doesn't have the heart to hurt anyone in love affairs (while being very likely to end up hurting everyone involved), so from a RP viewpoint I guess it makes sense too (to me at least) - even though the decision really pained me After all, no matter what others (his friends or us players) may think, to Geralt Yen is his first - and supposedly true - love, although I find it seriously masochistic to be, and stayed, attracted to such an unlikable person...

I think you need to stop thinking what other people need to do. I'm quite familiar with all the nuances of the witcher universe and also familiar with human psychology. So, your patronizing comment is the most inappropriate one. If you have to say something constructive then do it.
I dont see you giving anything "constructive".
I pointed you to a thread filled with explanations. Far better than any I could conjure less I was drunk as all hell. I cant obviously MAKE yo read it.
Also... no it was not patronizing...
I object. Everything you said about her is wrong, and you were presented with a source where you could go correct your analysis with some much needed perspective.
Objection denied. I was presented with a thread where Yen's fanboys and fangirls share their fantasies. So what does it prove? Only that some people believe in what they want to believe and imagine themselves.
Where exactly I was wrong? That Yen is a psychopath? She is, without a doubt. I know psychology and I've communicated with real psychopaths in real life. Yen is a typical case. I hope you'll never get stuck with real psychopath in your life but if you will you'll understand why I said that. My condolences in advance.
I have no idea why Sapkowski decided to make Yen that way but we have what we have.
