I feel like the only way Jon and Lyanna’s relationship will truly recover or go back somewhat to the way it was is when Jon and Sansa have their first child.
bc then Jon will fully comprehend Lyanna’s worrying (it’s one thing for Jon to do what he did but I dunno how ‘understanding’ he’d be if his child did what he did) but also seeing Jon have a parent/child relationship will help Lyanna re-evaluate how she raised Jon (partner in crime vs parent/child)
can’t wait to see how it ends 😊
I don't think the story is going to get as far as children, but you're probably right. I think a lot parent/child relationships heal when the child has their own. Fun fact, my grandfather and my mom had a big falling out when she married my dad (she was 19, and they met on a blind date and got married after like 8 months lol). I remember her telling me she didn't really talk to him that much until she had us (15 years later, btw). Having children doesn't solve problems in relationships on its own, but I think it changes perspectives and makes people reconsider what's important.
(also, I didn't say this in my first ask about this, but I do also think there's a little bit of jealousy too with Lyanna. She's used to being Jon's parent, solo. Now he's down south and having secrets with his absentee father, and that's a lot to reconcile, too.)
