well of course. the world their characters inhabit has no issue with betrothals of this kind of age gap. not unheard of in our world either i guess. but I think that while there was probably some overlap with iain and jorah in feeling uncontrollably drawn to this beautiful person, he commanded his fatherly instincts to take the lead

Iain Glen is truly one of those rare talents who can make viewers believe he is who he's playing.

[@squamish4244]

The problem is that in the book, Ser Jorah is supposed to be an ugly dude. In the show, they cast a guy who could be Sean Connery's son. So Dany seems insane.

Seriously though, their On-Screen Chemistry was so magical. It is quite sad that he was sadly doomed to the Friend-Zone. But his love-based Loyalty with that firm belief plus awe, in and of her Character, really made Ser Jorah, 1 Hell of an Ally, Confidante, Advisor and moreover... the awesome Warrior, such as were, particularly, on Danny's side. With the Zero-Potential for his emotional Bonds, however, i do believe his Death, in such greatest and most crucial of Battles, wherein, her Life and Presence, was a necessity, for the future, safety and success, of all the Living Beings within that Universe, specifically coming about as far as he'd know, in service if herself, resulting in her remaining alive... Was most befitting. Sadly, that's about 1 of the only apt or good aspects, with regards to the Conclusion of the D&D Show

The key to all long-lasting marriages is the friends zone. Marriages based only on attractions die a painful and quick death. However, if the foundation of the relationship is friendship, then it gives the couple the best chance. You can't have true love without friendship.

[@seeanthonyn]

Agree. Passion does run out

[@kurtsmith2699]

That’s not what the friend zone is. The friend zone is the place a woman puts a man for whom she has absolutely no sexual attraction. A married man in the friend zone with his wife has no passion at all and never had it.

[@zerostozeros]

@@kurtsmith2699 You're 100% correct, which is the mistake most women make. If your relationship has a foundation of only sexual attraction, it is doomed to fail. No one stays young and gorgeous forever. Ultimately, a couple that doesn't start out as friends or grow to become friends will end in infidelity, hatred, or abuse, and almost certainly divorce. Welcome to the world we live in today. Good luck.

[@quinncreel6091]
