Line 91:
* Parodied in ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' where [[Danny Devito]] played a mobster who kept telling his wife that he can't tell her what he does for a living. Not only does she clearly know, but she's advising him on what to wear not to be seen, which gun to use for his hit and where to dump the body.
* Just ask Cally Stone of ''[[Dark Oracle]]'' about this one. Every potential relationship she has (and most of her friendships) get torpedoed by her attempts at dealing with the comic book that has taken over her life. Conversely, her brother [[Cool Loser|Lance]], and his best friend [[Butt Monkey|Dizzy]], probably wouldn't have dating lives if the comic had forced them together with their respective girlfriends.
* George from ''[[Being Human (UK)]]" deals with this twice: with Sam, his rebound girlfriend, whom he {{spoiler|nearly transforms in front of because she won't let him get out of going to a parent-teacher conference for her daughter on the night of a full moon}}; and, most notably, with Nina, who starts out quite angry and annoyed about being constantly left out of the loop when it comes to George's secrets and then gets {{spoiler|introduced to the masquerade when George accidently scratches her partway through a transformation and turns her into a werewolf. Her inability to cope with her introduction to the masquerade leads them to break up for a while.}}
* [[H₂O: Just Add Water]] zigs and zags around on this trope with the four different mermaids (and one secret keeper) over the seasons:
** Cleo and Lewis's troubles have little to do with the masquerade, and are more mundane in nature. He's a little too involved in helping that it makes him a poor boyfriend.
