Summary

There are plenty of TV couples who are the driving force-out of their respective show , but that does n’t mean that they could realistically be together long - term in veridical animation . In fact , most television receiver relationships would n’t last a year after the series finale , even though some of them are the preferred sitcom couples of the slew . Ross and Rachel ’s relationship inFriendswas exhilarate , and David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston had amazing chemistry , but in reality , the characters were likely to break up again , not long after their emotional reunification in the series finale . The iconic lobsters are far from being the only television kinship that was n’t made to last .

Sitcom couples have it severely , but play romances have it laborious . The Vampire Diaries’peak second was whenElena chose Damon over Stefan , effectively resolving the tiresome love triangle , but that does n’t stand for that Elena and Damon could ever live out their happily - ever - after — not with the chaotic lives they had had or the choice they had made . Even the most dear TV duo are n’t safe from facing everyday problemsthat every wedlock has , and some of them simply ca n’t handle them , as their share history proves . Some couple were n’t meant to be , and that ’s the realism few people are willing to assume .

Not every show is rosy enough to receive a right send - off , and series like Sex and the City and The Originals have been pluck of good endings .
