As a Jonerys fan, one of the reasons S8 was so ****ty is it made Dany/Jon's relationship look very ... uneven or one sided. S7 ended very clearly with Dany and Jon, both as equally powerful allies and rulers. Then S8 basically has Daenerys doing all the work while getting **** on by the North and the Stark sisters and Jon is just ... there? He at least upholds his word to go with her and lead Northern forces to KL but that's basically it?

they had their one cute moment in episode 1 and that was it.

Yes then it went down the hill from there.

when we look at the overall story, Jon and Dany relationship leaves a sour taste in my mouth

Jon and Dany both care deeply about their people and they were chosen as leaders. They were equals: a King and Queen. They also fell in love in the worst of times but their love was supposed to represent a beacon of hope in the darkness to come. And don't even bring up the incest part when the ultimate love story of this crap was Cersei and Jaime's. All the talk about Dany and children in Season 7 apparently didn't mean anything. Also, Jon basically taking credit for Dany's accomplishments (riding a dragon, facing the Night King on dragonback, etc.) and never praising her is some disgusting whole level of sexism. Dany is never praised for her role in the Battle of Winterfell: her armies were slaughtered, she rode Drogon and faced the Night King, she picked up a dragonglass sword and fought, and she lost Jorah. But her efforts are never acknowledged. Actually, when she was out there fighting and risking her life, the Lady of the House was hiding inside and talking **** about her.

Dany has every right to be pissed at the feast when Jon is right there being congratulated for doing the same **** as she did. Varys looks at her suspiciously like she's wrong in reacting this way (and later he tells Tyrion he worries about her state of mind). This bull**** was so obviously written by men: women everywhere know what is like to have a man taking credit for their deeds.

you nailed it! really, exactly my thoughts.

This is Jon’s love for Dany in Season 8 in a nutshell. The narrative says Jon does love Dany. But this "love" is shallow and meaningless concerning his actions towards her: he doesn't support her, he doesn't stand up for her and he isn't even there when she needs him the most.
