Would Jadzia leave Worf for Quark?

[Voth commando1]

I recall both Julian and Quark moping over not "getting" her in her last episode.

Julian as I've stated previously I think even if he gave up actively pursuing her was deeply hurt and upset she would not be with him.

Quark I think seeing her clean his bar and observing her other qualities wanted her as well. Though by that point she was already deeply involved with Worf at that point.

A recent post asked if Jadzia would forgo her relationship/marriage to Worf for a previous spouse of Dax. We know that Curzon Dax was friends with The Sisko decades before DS9; we also know that Curzon had a thing for Ferengi.
Do you think that Jadzia would give up Worf for a relationship with Quark?

No way!
Other than his weird, "I am the most honorable Klingon." Stuff he is way hotter than the short green guy.

Funny cause I got the exact opposite impression, impulsive yes, but disloyal to that extent? I hope not, to be frank she kinda reminds me of my wife from time to time.


ah shit.....

I feel the same a lot of men want to project their thoughts onto what they perceive. They can't actually fully KNOW what the other person is thinking, especially women, so they like to perceive her open, fun loving attitude as something sexual, one and noncommittal, two.
Fun loving and open do not go hand in hand with marital infidelity.

That's the great thing about love trust and faith. I'm an atheist but I have to say there is beautiy in the concept of faith.

Of course, I don't know what my wife is doing right now. But I trust her and have faith.

And "cheat" (Worf isn't a math test, for crap's sake) isn't really the right word to use here. As you said, she willingly entered into marriage as Klingons define it, which expects physical monogamy, and probably emotional monogamy as well. Their wedding ceremony was entirely devoid of any Trill customs as far as I could see. Failing to adhere to those vows would be viewed by Worf and other Klingons as dishonoring Worf and all Klingon culture, which is a lot more serious than the faintly juvenile sounding term "cheating".

So viewed in those terms, I don't think she would ever choose to dishonor Worf and the House of Martok, as she chose to turn her back on Trill marriage customs when she married Worf and became a member of the House of Martok.

Thank you for this! I am kind of floored at how many people think Jadzia would be impulsive enough to be disloyal to her her husband. As Sisko pointed out in the wedding episode, she knew what she was getting herself into when she got with Worf. And she, probably even more than Worf, knows how important being true to one's word and personal honor is. Episodes like "Dax" and "Blood Oath" have shown us this.

And in the grand scheme of being a joined Trill, I actually think monogamy wouldn't be that hard. For Dax the marriage to Worf is ultimately temporary, the symbiont will go on to have more relationships in its next lives. Choosing to spend this life with one person isn't that big of a deal. Worf won't be Dax's last spouse.

But Worf was Jadzia's only spouse

Of course. Why would we ever think anything different? The fact that Jadzia was a Trill, is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. It doesn't make anyone more likely to cheat just because they're Trill. Each host is a unique being, and the fact that a symbiont can move from host to host doesn't mean that those hosts won't still be devoted to their partners.

Fun loving and open do not go hand in hand with marital infidelity.

Exactly. Jadzia is impulsive and likes to party, but one can be those things and still be absolutely loyal to one's partner. Anyone who questions that, has trust issues.
