All Of These Romantic Comedy Couples 100 Percent Broke Up After the Credits Rolled

Everyone loves a good romantic comedy every now and then. It’s nice to think about a universe in which the most unlikely people wind up falling madly in love, presumably living out the rest of their days together. But let’s be real: Not every one of those rom-com couples would actually last.

In fact, most of them probably wouldn’t make it very far beyond the end credits. These are the rom-com relationships we can pretty much guarantee went down in flames right after their fairy tales ended.

Alison Scott and Ben Stone (“Knocked Up”)

Alison and Ben are that quirky, opposites attract couple that Judd Apatow seems so fond of using in his movies. While they try to give their baby makes three relationship a chance, it’s pretty clear they have completely different outlooks on life.

Also, using an unplanned baby as a catalyst for love is a sure fire recipe for relationship disaster.

Samantha and Jake (“Sixteen Candles”)

While it’s nice to imagine the most popular boy in school falling for the social misfit and living happily ever after, the idea that two teenagers with little in common could manage to find everlasting love is a concept only other 16-year-olds can buy into.

In all honesty, we wouldn’t expect this thing to last past college, if that.

Mary Fiore and Steve Edison (“The Wedding Planner”)

Can you ever really trust a guy who decides to pursue you while also engaged to another woman? Regardless of whether or not he and his fiancée are actually in love with one another, he put a damn ring on her finger and then went after another woman.

This is not a relationship built on a foundation of loyalty. What happens when the next wedding planner comes around?

Andie Anderson and Benjamin Barry (“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”)

Considering Ben and Andie both went into this thing for purely selfish reasons, on top of the fact that for the majority of the movie, they were lying to each other about their real personalities, the idea that they’d ever be able to sustain something true and meaningful for very long is pretty laughable.

Although it might make for an entertaining sequel.
