Line 43:
* In the ''[[Hellsing]]'' TV series, although not a couple (but [[Word of God|Studio Gonzo]] did hint they have feelings for each other), Alucard and Integra act like this until she almost dies because of his bad judgment in sneaking out to fight his [[Worthy Opponent]]. Afterwards, their dynamic softens considerably. In the manga, their relationship is completely different and more of a [[Bodyguard Crush]] dynamic.
* This is the nature of the relationship of [[Bastard Boyfriend|Iason]] and [[Sex Slave|Riki]] in ''[[Ai no Kusabi]]'' due to [[Opposites Attract]]. Although Iason is usually the one showing affection despite how much he oppresses Riki in order to control him.
* An interpretation of [[Adult Child|Chiaki]] and [[:Category:Yandere|Hatori's]] relationship in [[Sekaiichi Hatsukoi]] given that every single episode/chapter concerning them starts with them having a nasty fight due to either Chiaki being [[Innocently Insensitive|insensitive]] or Hatori [[Crazy Jealous Guy|being possessive.]] At the end of each episode, while they do end up recoiling, it doesn't change the fact there is a lot of yelling involved before they come to a compromise...and this relationship ends up hurting the third wheel Yanase given he's pulled into their fights every single time. {{spoiler|It gets to the point where [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Yanase]] finally [[Break the Cutie|breaks]] [[Heroic BSOD|down]] [[Cry Cute|crying]] for Chiaki pulling on his heart strings.}} And let's not mention the novel where the interpretation of their relationship crosses between this and [[Domestic Abuse]].
* Zagi and Karim of ''[[Jyu-Oh-Sei]]''. They have both expressed pretty genuine feelings for each other, but you'd never guess from the way he treats her 90% of the time.

* The flash animation [https://web.archive.org/web/20131207084003/http://vinnieveritas.com/flash/ccc/eres-veneno/ Eres Veneno ++] by Vinnie Veritas is a serious contender for '''the''' greatest example of The Masochism Tango. As was once commented, "there's love, and then there's bitchy love."
* Church and Tex in ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' are this.
