Absolutely nothing about this relationship is kosher. First of all, they're brother and sister -- twins, in fact. Whatever, live and let live, as long as they're not irresponsible enough to conceive children together. Oh wait. What? Three children? That are being passed off as the spawn of Cersei and her late husband, King Robert Baratheon, who she was cheating on with her own brother? That's just not OK. Even if they weren't related, their relationship is suspect. Any couple that will throw a small child out of a window to prevent people from finding out about their illicit love affair is clearly not operating on the same plane of existence as the rest of us. The worst part, though? Jaime grows and changes over the course of the series, after being captured and losing his hand. He becomes a more noble character that is actually likeable if you squint your eyes really hard and accept the presence of moral gray areas. But when Jaime makes his triumphant return to King's Landing, Cersei isn't having any of it. She doesn't like him nice. She's not happy unless their relationship involves every single taboo known to western civilization, and for that reason alone, they top this list.
