It finally happened!!! (Picture: HBO)

* Warning – contains major spoilers for Game Of Thrones season eight episode four*

We thought our hearts had been pummelled enough after the Battle of Winterfell, but those Game Of Thrones writers just can’t stand us being happy.

Ser Brienne Of Tarth finally got what she wanted when she slept with Jaime Lannister after years of hiding her feelings… only to have him ride away on a horse to follow his sister.

Basically, every Tinder date ever. If you cut out the incest part.

After surviving the Battle of Winterfell, season eight’s fifth episode, The Last Of The Starks, the remaining soldiers celebrated the demise of The Night King by downing wine (obviously), resulting in a ye olde game of Never Have I Ever between Jaime, Tyrion, Brienne and Podrick.

However, the light-hearted bants turned awkward when Tyrion outed Brienne as a virgin, with the knight embarrassedly retreating to her room.

Jaime followed Brienne to her chambers, remarked on how hot it was, and started stripping off. Smooth.

The pair then got it on, much to everyone’s delight. Brienne got knighted! She survived the battle! Then got her man! She’s happy!…

… Until a half an hour later, when she’s out sobbing in the cold in her dressing gown, begging Jaime to stay with her.

Relatable AF.

After learning Cersei killed Rhaegal and captured Missandei, Jaime decided to leave Brienne and the North behind and go join his sister.

As a tearful Brienne told him he was a good man and pleaded with him to stay with her, Jaime said: ‘I pushed a boy out of a tower window, crippled him for life, for Cersei. I strangled my own cousin with my bare hands, just to get back to Cersei. I would have murdered every man, woman and child in Riverrun for Cersei.

‘She’s hateful. And so am I.’

He then rode away, leaving Brienne in tears – and our emotional rollercoaster ended with fury and the internet proclaiming that ‘men ain’t s***’:

Our only solace is the theory that Jaime wasn’t actually abandoning Brienne because he’s still in love with Cersei.

Some GOT fans reckon he’s going to kill his sister, and had to hurt our girl to make her stay away, for her own safety.

Either way, we don’t think we’ll ever be over this. You know who wouldn’t have done this to Brienne? Tormund. He would stay with the big woman forever.

Game Of Thrones airs Sunday night on HBO and is simulcast on NOWTV and Sky Atlantic.
