Tough I can see where you are coming from(f!s and all),personally love doesn't make sense in the first place.Love is co-dependant and unhealthy, I fail to see the point. They're obviously each other's weakness and it's being used throughout the manga. How exactly did you expect her to react to his death? I'm putting myself in her place and I can't see how would she survive without him, shipping aside, his dreams? After Ishbal only thing that kept away from suicide is Roy's dream for country's sake and their own redemption.Also I'm sure if chapter 94 didn't happen, he'd perform human transformation without a second thought. Love isn't equal nor support any idea(and this includes feminism time to time).I respect her a lot for the sacrifices she made and her power on Roy.Let's face it, without Riza Roy isn't a complete character.So I guess this makes Roy weak too?
Maybe I misread or missed parts, pardon me I can't use pc now but it's surprising that you didn't mention Lan Fan? And as for Izumi what if they used Sig against her how would she react? The most important thing in these characters is they're human and they all have emotinal weakness like us.Riza is the best sharpshooter in military, a very smart woman, the part completes Roy Mustang, someone who experienced a lonely and painful childhood but despite that kept on living, someone who took a part in a massacre, who burnt her back and tried to repair her damage afterwards.She experienced "much more" than any other ladies and you're saying she's weak just because she's in love? I, myself fell in love and I know other people who experienced that feeling so I guess I can tell; love makes you stupid.Yes, when you are in love you can sacrifice yourself for "that one".It's not surprising nor something person should be ashamed of.
I'm really sorry for my rambling and for my potential mistakes but it's very good to talk with other sides :')
