Yes, but if you disregard the emotional investment, this isn't any different from any other choice and consequence you encounter in the game. If you don't like it, or regret it, you just re-load and pick a different choice. This is why I needed to acknowledge that emotional attachment will trigger feelings, which you can't just re-load. So my advice is to remind yourself that this isn't the same version of Shadowheart as the one you are attached to (and don't get too attached obviously, she is not real and it's just a game!).
In my case in particular I never got 'emotional attached' to her. It simply broke my roleplay experience (I wasn't even that far into her romance). And I think the 'solution' would be to make her romance (and any other character) in a way that behaves in the player's choosen relationship type. Not to turn a blind eye, but whatever. As you said, companions should be dynamic, and that is not dynamic at all.

I think it is set up to not just happen because you stumble upon it. I am no expert on every possible route to the Sharess Caress interaction, but as it was for me the story steered me there long before the completion of the Shadowheart romance (when she will still decline to any suggestion involving the drow sex workers). It was also very obvious what this interaction was about. So later in the story, once you have completed Shadowheart romance you would need to make the conscious decision to return to Sharess Caress (which has no other quests tied to it at this point) and engage this conversation again to trigger that scene. I mean don't play the fool, you know what you are doing at this point. But there may be other paths or possibilities that lead to this, it's a very open game, so I am not going to say anything for sure
You're talking from the perspective of someone that knows that interaction, what if I didn't know about it and for whatever reason got to that area of the game with all the conditions met for that to happen?
What about any other possible interactions like this one that hasn't been discovered (if there's any)?
It's simple. I think they should have implemented so kind of 'monogamous-player path' or something.
Thought to be fair, as I said in a previous post. I've never got that interaction myself, so I don't know the conditions.

You are not wrong. In fact, even if you recruit her and treat her nicely, psycho-Shadowheart will eventually appear, planning to kill Lae'zel in cold blood and blame it on the tadpole. And she will go through with it unless you talk her out of it.
But she's fixable, which is the appeal of her story, the character development and growth.
And that may be why posts like this one exist. With her grow and development, she shouldn't be willingly accepting that interaction, unless that Tav has clearly proof to be a poly.
