Oh I agree. I don't really blame Shae because she was just trying to live and to advance herself through the only methods that she had. It's just that as the story went along you could tell that Tyrion was deluding himself about her nature... because it was what he needed to believe. He kept insisting that she was sweet and loving... and yet she was extremely hard-hearted about poor Lolly's (whose story truly horrifies me) and I noticed right quick when Tyrion finally saw Shae again she had not a word about his injuries and near death, etc. If she truly cared about him (like he wanted to believe) concern over his rather terrible injuries would have been in there somewhere.
Though I was glad that Tyrion never thought of taking revenge against her. There was nothing to avenge. I understood his flipping out on Tywin though. Tywin taking Shae was the height of hypocrisy and that in conjunction to what he had done to Tysha? I felt bad for what vengeance did to Tyrion, but Tywin? He deserved it.
