* An episode of ''[[Rumic Theater]]'' has a man being invited to a school reunion by a girl he remembers having a crush on, and who might just have reciprocated, but he was transferred out before he could learn the truth. His current married life is...disappointing, and he fantasizes about having a fling while simultaneously realizing how unlikely that would be.<br />At the reunion he meets the woman who reveals that she ''did'' have a crush on him, and is conveniently recently divorced...and is now grossly overweight, not one bit pretty and a sloppy drunk. He decides to bail out early. {{spoiler|On his way to the train, the men meets the actual girl he was thinking of (both women have the same given name) who is just as pretty and likeable as he remembers...and is happily married with several children who made her late for the reunion. He returns home somewhat heartened and determined to make his own marriage work.}}
* [[Patlabor]]: In the New Files series, it's revealed that Takeo Kumagami once had a relationship with {{spoiler|[[Affably Evil|Richard Wong.]]}} This naturally leads to a confrontation between the exes, just before he makes his escape. {{spoiler|Wong}} [[troll]]s her by pretending to give himself up, because of his feelings for her. She falls for it, he [[Bridal Carry|scoops up her up]], [[Crowning Moment of Funny|then dumps her... in a laundry basket]] and runs off. Needless to say, Kumigami considers them [[Ship Sinking|DONE.]]
