Line 152:
* Lemont's aiming for this in regards to Susan in ''[[Candorville]]''. Of course, he's completely unaware that Susan's attempting an [[Operation: Jealousy]].
* In the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Books]] Mystique's relationship to her son Nightcrawler and her adoptive daughter Rogue is often coloured by the non-romantic version of this trope. This is especially obvious in the case of Rogue, with whom she had a by all accounts happy family life. At first Mystique thought that Professor X had brainwashed Rogue into joining the X-Men, but once she found out in UXM #178 that this was what Rogue actually wanted, she came to accept her decision and never once tried to make her reverse it. In UXM #185 story Mystique seriously considers allowing Rogue to be shot be Forge's Neutralizer to strip her of her powers, which would enable her to touch people, lead a normal life, and, not least, to return to live with her adoptive parents. However in the end Mystique decides against this because this would have happened without Rogue's consent. And so she manipulates events so that Storm, not Rogue, is hit by the Neutralizer (Mystique is after all a villainess).
* Pictured above, Kitty Pryde and Caliban, one of the Morlocks, also from ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]''. Short version: In one early encounter with the X-Men when most of the team was taken prisoner, Caliban fell in love with her, and she promised to stay with him forever if she helped them escape. He agreed, and they escaped, but she didn't keep her end of the bargain. Later, Calisto (the former leader of the Morlocks before Storm wrested that title away from her in ritual combat the first time) found out about the broken promise, and ordered Kitty kidnapped to make her own up to it. Eventually, Kitty decided she was bound to do as she promised and agreed to marry him, but he realized by then that she didn't love him, telling her he wouldn't hold her to that. They became close friends soon after. On a related note, Kitty was using the alias "Ariel" at the time, making this an unsubtle [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[The Tempest]]''.

Line 194:
** [[Tear Jerker]] / [[Fridge Horror]]: Weebo treats her beloved better than he treats his own.
* Aggravating example in ''[[Bollywood|Jab We Met]]'' when Aditya tries to reunited Geet and Anshuman. Subverted because {{spoiler|Geet is in love with Aditya at this point, and lets him know it. They then get married and presumably live happily ever after.}}
* [[The Lord of the Rings|Aragorn]] encourages Arwen to go to the Undying Lands, claiming that they can't be together because he is mortal and she an elf and eventually, they will part in death. Keep in mind that humans and elves have a different afterlife. Even in death, they will not be together. But {{spoiler|in the end, Arwen chose to live as a mortal, meaning that when she dies, she will go to the human afterlife.}}
* Brotherly version: In ''[[Brother Bear]] 2'', Koda asks the spirits to turn Kenai back into a human, so he can {{spoiler|be with Nita, [[Interspecies Romance|who is human]]}}.
* Used in ''[[Prime]]''. While there's no "other person," Rafi breaks up with Dave, despite his desire to have a baby with her, knowing full well that it's not the right choice for him (he's only 23, much younger than she). Ironically, his willingness to take a step that he KNOWS he's not ready for (he loves her so much he's willing to make that sacrifice) makes her love him even more, but because she loves him so much, she doesn't want to tie him down like that and knows he'll eventually regret the decision.
