Aemond: I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?
Alicent: …good.
Aemond: It is very unlikely that I will ever, EVER do it again.
one thing that is really fundamental to my understanding of Rhaenyra is that she HATES Viserys. I don't think she even fully understands the depth of her own hate but she does. She takes it out in all these other places (mainly Alicent) because she can't actually throw it back in Viserys' face because as much as she hates him he's her biggest defender. Every time she tries he threatens to withdraw his support and leave her completely vulnerable. As much as she hates him she can't separate him from her sense of safety.
And it's under this framework that I don't think it's remotely surprising that she never came to visit him except to ask him to defend her one last time. She separated herself from her actual primary abuser and she had no desire to go back and like, fair. He's never given her anything that wasn't conditional and so why should she?
