Medea's love for Jason and Jason's love for Medea based on lies. Medea fell in love with Jason just because Aphrodite, Hera and Eros made Medea that way, so she wanted to help him in his quest. Without her, I doubt Jason would even succesful in his quest. Medea even killed her father, her brother just because she loved Jason. And we all know what happened after that. Jason left  Medea and went to another woman, Medea got mad she murdered her children, what the --- right? Some people may have blames Jason for that and some people blames Medea. But, I blame Aphrodite, Hera and Eros, cause they caused all of this situation. Yeah, Jason's act was wrong and Medea's act (killing her children) was wrong. But I think, their relationship so f*cked up that way, because It wasn't meant to be happen in the first place. I think it was wrong to made Medea fall in love with Jason in the first place, that's why this ended terribly.I think of the same when I look at Piper and Jason's relationship. Their love based on lies just like Medea and Jason. Piper and Jason's memories changed by Hera (and Aphrodite?) just because Hera thought It may usefull to the quest. Yeah, some people may say that they were changed their fake memories to real ones, but, c'mon, It doesn't work that way. I'm sure Medea thought the same about her love-life You have a interesting view, but i don't agree in some topics. First, Jason didn't have his memories changed, they were erased and Piper may have had fake memories with Jason as her boyfriend but it wasn't a thing of Hera or Aphrodite .Putting Jason in her path,yes, it was a Hera's thing but her memories were manipulated by the Mist who make people see what they woul probably want to see, so in a nutshell, the Mist gave her memories based in what she would probably feel meeting Jason and neither Hera (she had a lot of troubles at that time to care), or Aphrodite, (yes, i know she interferes a lot but it doesn't seem to be Jason and Piper's case ) had anything to do with it.

And even they interfered, it wouldn't make them less real. Percy and Annabeth had interference of Aphrodite, Hazel and Frank, seeing in the rational way, weren't meant to be together but their relationships aren't unstable because of this.

You say their relationship is based in lies, in a way it's truth and i am not saying it didn't affect Jason and Piper, because we see Piper get insecure in The Mark of Athena exaclty due to this, but how Annabeth and Percy said in the end, the people in the relationship decide how it's gonna work and it happens even with Jason and Medea: the gods manipulated Medea, but it was Jason's decision betraying her, she wasn't his love-life that's okay but he could and should have been more kind to her and Medea was betrayed and it was okay feeling sad or angry, but her decisions were wrong. What they did, in my opinion, says much more about their character than their relationship. Like Piper said once, people can't control the gods but can control themselves and it works on love too.
