Beloved On-Screen Couples That Are Completely Toxic
We thrive off of romance. We love watching television shows and movies to see our favorite characters come together. On the surface, these couples appear to be a perfect pair. However, when one looks deeper, they find that the couple’s relationship is totally toxic.
Maybe Rachel would’ve been better off with Joey. We may want their relationship to work more than anything else, but in reality, these couples should split.
Carrie and Big, “Sex And The City”
Carrie and Big from “Sex and The City” are the couple we want to work more than anything. Unfortunately, Big dragged her around for years. Then he chose to marry someone else, only to cheat on his wife with Carrie.
When he and Carrie finally end up together and decide to get married, he stands her up at the altar. In the end, they did get married, but at what cost?
Midge and Benjamin, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”
Midge from “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is quick-witted and should be with someone who can match her intellect. Ben is far from being that person. He has a blasé attitude, and tries to make up for it with jokes that fall flat. On his date with Midge, he takes her to an art show.
She never expressed interest in art. He only took her to the show because he wanted to go.
Blair and Chuck, “Gossip Girl”
Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf from “Gossip Girl” have been idolized as a couple, even though Chuck is a repeat sexual offender. He views Blair not as a person, but as a trophy. When going on vacation together, Chuck leaves her behind on the helipad.
Any time Blair tries to move past him with a new relationship, Chuck sabotages them.
Tony and Carmela Soprano, “The Sopranos”
Carmela and Tony from “The Sopranos,” have a marriage that is full of infidelity, anger and jealousy. Their biggest problem, however, is their lack of communication. Talking to each other usually ends in a screaming match. Eventually, their marriage ends in divorce.
However, they do hook up a few times after their separation.
