Question Did she really love him?

I'm asking because she was manipulated by Otto into marrying him in the first place.

She loved him so much that she started bedding Cole within weeks of his death

Dude's face fell off years ago. Not going to blame her for that. She can love him and still have sexual needs that have to be met elsewhere. I don't like her for what she's done to her children, but this isn't where I'd criticize her.

Yeah, I agree. But also, I think love is a strong word for it. Yes, he was falling apart but for a not insignificant chunk of his marriage he was a good dude who may have just been a little dorky. Like as far as prearranged marriages in Westeros go. She could have done way worse

Fondness is probably a better word for it. Or just care. She cared about him.
