oh man, i lol'd hard, and shared your post with my RL brother, who also lol'd hard.
the whole "you cant kill this person because i love them too much" is what ASOIAF is all about. GRRM treats us as unsullied trainees in a way. instead of giving us a puppy, he gives us characters that we fall in love with, and then he takes them away from us.
Shae is a survivor and at the end of the day, shes with Tyrion for the money. after Tywin finds her, her options become limited, and she does whats needed to survive (until she gets choked out). She cannot go with Sansa because that would throw a wrench in LF's long term plans. even if Shae did manage to leave with Sansa, LF would have her killed. shes in the way no matter how u slice it, and she'll need to go.
as far as Tywin, that whole scene is important to the story and Tyrions char development. First, Tywin is already poisoned and dying when he gets shot. second, its metaphorical/ironic/significant that Tywin Lannister would be killed in a such a non ceremonious way.

Oh I'm under no delusions that any of the main characters have to stay alive through this whole series. I've read all the books so I'm just talking about the show. Like the way they've written Shae makes it seem like she is actually with Tyrion for love and the money is secondary. She probably does have to go that is true, but it'll be at the hands of Tywin or possibly LF but not Tyrion. I'm sticking to that...course I guess we won't know until next season I think? =/
I had no idea Tywin was poisoned. I'm still sticking to that actor not being shown on the shitter. I'm sure he'd agree to it and I'll give them props if they go through with it, but no...just no. He has to die by Tyrion's hand, that is important...but not in such an ignoble way.
