We all want that perfect love, but sometimes things just *aren’t* meant to be (even when it really seems like they should be!)

We’re taking a deep dive into one of the most painful relationship problems: when things seem to not work out no matter how hard you try. First, we’re unpacking what went wrong for Emily from Friends in her relationship with Ross Geller (and why being stuck as the runner-up love interest is so miserable, from Emily to SATC’s Aidan & beyond.)

Then we’re analyzing why things never seem to work out for “good-on-paper” characters like Karen from The Office, Lon from The Notebook, Nancy in Enchanted & more. Finally, we explore the idea of star-crossed lovers: those couples who do very much want to be together but are pulled apart by fate or tragedy, from Jack and Rose in Titanic to Romeo and Juliet & beyond!
