Line 93:
* The [[Captain America (comics)]] villains [[Complete Monster|Red Skull]] and Mother Night had a relationship like this. Mother Night was deeply in love with the Skull, even though he was always abusive to her. At one point he even started flirting with Viper(Another Cap villain) just to piss her off.
== [[
* ''[[Nana's Everyday Life]]'', if it didn't [[Crosses the Line Twice|cross the line so many,]] ''[[Serial Escalation|many]]'' times it would be [[Glurge]]-y.
== [[Film]] ==
* Mrs. Lovett in ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (film)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'', who enables Sweeney's serial murders and disposes of his victims by baking them into pies. She continues to make romantic overtures to him despite his obvious disinterest, going so far as to {{spoiler|trick him into thinking his wife is dead. He throws her into her own oven to burn to death when he discovers her deception}}.
* The classic film ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026663/ Mad Love]'' (a remake of the [[Conrad Veidt]] film ''Hands of Orlac'') is a borderline case at best. [[Peter Lorre|Dr. Gogol]] loves the beautiful actress Yvonne, and knows she is happily married to her husband. He settles for [[Gaslighting|trying to drive her husband mad]] in the hope of picking her up on the rebound.
* Serves as [[The Reveal]] in ''[[He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not]]''. {{spoiler|For the first half of the film, we are led to believe that the main character is having an affair with a married man, but at the midway point the film snaps back to the beginning and follows the man instead. We find out that she is really an insane stalker and he barely knows she exists.}}
* ''[[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]]''{{'}}s Columbia falls under this. She's hopelessly devoted to [[Tim Curry|Dr. Frank N Furter]] despite the fact that he views her as nothing more than his "groupie". This is later [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] when Columbia finally realizes that Frank doesn't give a damn about her and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|totally chews his ass out for it.]]
** This is driven even FURTHER in the original play in which Columbia does a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] by putting herself between Frank and Riff Raff causing her to be killed by the laser. Frank's reaction? "Stupid bitch." Though, he does say it in a way that hints that he did feel somewhat sorry for her.
