John/Aeryn was one of those couples for me that when it was working out for them--I absolutely hated it. I did not want them to have a single happy moment together. When my father and I were rewatching the series some months back he'd constantly tell me to stop yelling at the TV 'Put some pain into that relationship! No happy!'
To be fair I didn't want any of them to have a happy relationship. Zhaan/Stark was appropriately painful (if only because Stark can sometimes be painful to watch...), Chiana/D'Argo I never saw as a romantic relationship but as a sex relationship. Even after he asked her to marry him I was hard-pressed to see them as 'in love' as opposed to 'in lust'. Later, when Chiana matures some and evolves for various reasons, I thought the love they felt for each other was truer.
you have every right to fear what happens with Jothee, Chiana and D'argo. Just saying.
