Line 124:
* Also Thor-connected: Asgardian [[Our Werewolves Are Different|wolf prince Hrimhari]] and Rahne Sinclaire of [[X Factor]]. The first time they got together, they had to part when the X-Men left Asgard. When Asgard reappeared on Earth, Hrimhari and Rahne were reunited, only for Hrimhari to [[Heroic Sacrifice|give up his own life to save Rahne]] {{spoiler|[[Someone to Remember Him By|and their unborn children]]}}.
* [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson]] were forced into this by [[One More Day]]. Stan Lee even lables them this in his afterword in the OMD Trade Paperback. Fortunatly, there still very much together in the MC2 and Newspaper Strip continunities, the latter of which continues to this day
* In ''DC vs. Marvel'', [[Batman|Robin]] and [[X-Men|Jubilee]] had a brief romance during the crossover. Later they're separated [[Tear Jerker|and they weren't happy at that]]. Jubilee later (in the ''Unlimited Access'' mini series) pleaded with Access to open the portal to let her see him again; seeing as he is supposed to ''prevent'' such encounters from happening, it didn't end well...
* ''[[Ms. Tree]]'' found herself in that situation when her stepson fell for the daughter of the boss of the Meurita crime family which is subverted. Regardless of her opinion of this situation, she considers the matter purely the kids' affair and enjoys seeing the girl's mother attempt to keep them apart backfire into strengthening their relationship.
* Thanks to [[Executive Meddling]], this seems to be the case for [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] and Princess Sally Acorn - whenever these two get together, something bad happens to one of them - Sonic gets launched to the other side of the galaxy, Sally falls for Monkey Khan, then she later gets turned into a robot.
* Another Marvel example is Thena of [[The Eternals]] and Kro of the Deviants. Kro is far more powerful than most Deviants, and unlike most of them, seems immortal, like the Eternals are. He and Thena fell in love more than twenty millennia ago, but because their respective races are mortal enemies and would never approve of their relationship, they've been forced to keep it secret. They've actually been more successful than most examples of this Trope, having two children as a result, Donald and Debora Ritter; Thena concealed them from her fellow Eternals by using her own powers to secretly transfer them, as embryos, into an infertile human woman; the twins didn't learn who their biological parents were until adulthood.
* In Marvel cosmology, Eternity is the living embodiment of everything that ''is'' and ever ''was'', how the multiverse truly is; his lover is the Queen of Nevers, who embodies all possibilities, what the multiverse is ''not'' but ''could''. Given their contradictory natures, only place they can be together is Land of Couldn't-Be Shouldn't-Be, a dimension of non-existence that is located outside all time and space. During the times they are there together, ''anything'' can happen, ''literally'', meaning their trysts must always be brief.
* [[Deadpool]] is in love with the embodiment of Death - meaning he can only see her when he dies. Fortunately, that happens rather often (given his incredible regeneration powers) but not near as often as he'd like.
* [[Evil Ernie]] has a problem similar to Deadpool's, being madly in love with [[Lady Death]]. She is under a curse that prevents her from ever setting foot on Earth so long as any being there remains alive, and thus her goal is to kill all that lives. Being undead, Ernie does his best to aid in that goal so they can eventually be together.

* [[Nightwish]]'s song "Astral Romance" is all about this. Arguably also several other of their songs.
* The song "Starcrossed" by Ash.
* "[
* [[David Bowie|David Bowie's]] song "Heroes" is about two lovers who are separated by [[Cold War|the Berlin Wall.]]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdb4hLvdumA Secret Lovers] by Atlantic Starr is about a pair of these—they aren't allowed to be together because [[Good Adultery, Bad Adultery|they're both engaged/married to someone else.]]
