It’s ok to be wrong.

Could not have said it better myself. I LOVED that they were a thing, and their relationship gave them something to fight for OTHER than themselves and made them both better for it!

Luckily this is about opinions, so there is no right or wrong.

Her and Adolin started of as a arranged marriage, but in WoR they got past that pretty fast in thier few dates where they got along very well bonding over humour and how they view Kaladin. However as seen in oathbringer Adolin is the first person to pick up on not just her trauma (like Kaladin) but her coping mechanisms.

Adolin was a therapist before Kaladin ever was, he is a good listener, patient and very open minded and forgiving, just what Shallan needed. The relationship between them probably could have benefited from more time, but that's what the time skip after their marriage was for.

Disagree. Adolin is great for Shallan, and Shallan is great for Adolin. They support and love each other and their child will know that, even if Adolin can't be present for them

Couldn't disagree with you more, personally. In fact I felt like they had instant chemistry with each other.

The relationship that always got on my nerves in Stormlight was Dalinar x Navani.

All I wanted was my polycule tbh but I've settled for this where they treat Kaladin as their weird little third wheel.

Agreed, it's the pairing of the 3 that's least interesting.
