While I read this series, I enjoyed Tris and Tobias as a couple. Now, I think that they were a shitty couple. Always fighting and never considering the other's opinion. They kept secrets and it is tiring really... Please share your opinions!



I think they were well suited in the first two books, they’re quite alike, but their dynamic did change at the end, but it didn’t feel believable that they would be so mistrusting of each other and that Tobias would become so immature and go behind Tris’s back. I felt Veronica completely changed the personality of Tobias in order to get the story and Tris where she wanted them to go, and to make Tris look even better.

I think Veronica made a bad judgement by changing one of her characters so much, it ruined a few things about the last book, which already had plenty of problems.


Do they like each other? yes.
But I think that they really didn't function well together. They both had really strong personalities, and Tobias was just to emotional and took it out on Tris. They didn't understand each other.


i feel like they were a relatively good couple - as young and naive as they were. naive in the sense that they were both really sheltered and inexperienced. I feel like what we have here is your typical young teen angsty couple that doesn't quite know what the base their relationship on yet there's also a lot to base it on from a surface level.

i think that by the end of the series you can see that they really did complement each other enough to make a difference, but of course - you all know how that ends right? happy? sad? who knows


They didn't have a great relationship. It shows more in Allegiant, where they're together, they fight, they almost breakup, and then they have sex in a closet. This cycle repeats over and over again. But then again, I guess that when you're having a war, it's difficult to maintain a good and healthy relationship.


I think that it's realistic. Couples fight and argue ALL OF THE TIME! If you could imagine with all the extra stress they are going through in life... I think it makes sense that they fight. I think that it makes them real. A lot of books have couples going through hell and don't fight and I think this is unrealistic and a part of why Veronica Roth may have wanted to make them more real. I think that FOUR expected things from Tris that she couldn't provide. She was always going to be a fighter, she was always going to put herself in danger, she was always going to be brave. Ultimately, this results in the ending and I think that this is something FOUR almost saw coming in a way, she always through herself into danger and he just couldn't handle that. I think that FOUR needed someone who was consistent in his life and Tris couldn't be that for him. He wanted to be the protector and he wanted to keep her safe, but she wasn't going to just sit back and let that happen.


Of course they did. Tris and Tobias made each other better people. They would do anything for the other and that's amazing. Tobias trusted Tris and Tris trusted Tobias. A love like that is to be praised, not questioned.


I believe they made a great couple. They did argue a whole bunch, but under their circumstances who wouldn't ? There was a ton of miss communication and lost trust but at the end of the day they were each others. They were good for each other, They filled that void in each others hearts. Off tops, They're still my favorite fiction couple. #Fourtis


I liked it a lot when the two of them came together. Their love was sweet and at the beginning, Four was a little bit the person to protect Tris. But later, in the second and third book, when the situation became even more difficult and dangerous, they stopped talking to each other. Tris wanted to make her own decisions which is compehensible but she should've shared them with Tobias. Instead, she started to risc her life like half of the time and the other time the two were fighting.
I think they could've been a great couple and they could've matched great but as there were so many communication problems between them, I would rather think that they don't function well together.
