I can`t remember the details that lead to this, anyway, no one is complaining about it.It is a typical problem, I think - if everybody behaves quite "normal" (and heterosexualismn is considered normal - because most people are hetero), no one asks. But if something "anormal" happens, many begin to question it. (It reminds of a discussion between Paramount officials and the responsible ones for Startrek Voyager, and that Paramount didn`t want the creators to concentrate on a female captain, because this would somehow reduce the possibilities for the actor to choose for the role, since it couldn`t be a man - something like that.)Here in Germany, we are one season behind you in America, so I might remember the beginnings a bit better than some of you (but I doubt it). I watched nearly every episode, and I didn`t find the relationship between Willow and Tara very suprising/unusual or a severe change in her character.Her first love was a Werewolf, her second a witch... There is no real pattern that could have been broken. If you count Xander as a love - (though you could also see the tension between them as a misinterpreted friendship in a time of their life, where they still  have to explore emotions) - there are two possible patterns: Willow is ... "parasexuell" (meaning she likes creatures with paranormal abilities, like Werewolfs or witches), or she is heterosexual (she likes men). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Mustrum Ridcully</blockquote>
