    2. When Beckett left Castle on Castle.

    ABC

    "Their relationship was initially so wonderful, but then Blaine accused Kurt of cheating and then Blaine actually cheated on him. After that, everything about them just felt forced to me."

    6. When Archie and Veronica's relationship became all about sex on Riverdale.

    7. And when Veronica told Archie they couldn't break up because they were "endgame" on Riverdale.

    Archie: "I saw our whole future," Veronica: "Because we're endgame Archie"
    The CW

    “It made me realize not only how immature Veronica is, but how poorly written the show is."

    8. When Chuck traded Blair for a hotel on Gossip Girl.

    Blair says she would have done anything to help Chuck if he'd just asked, Chuck says he did what he had to do to win

    9. When Amy pressured Jake into having kids on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

    Jake: "I don't want to bring a human being into this world unless I'm 100% ready to take care of it"
    FOX

    "I understand Amy's point of view, but that didn't give her the right to completely brush aside Jake's feelings and reasonable fears. The whole incident felt totally out of character for both of them. While I still adore them, the writing did not do their relationship any good that episode."

    10. When Clarke shot and killed Bellamy on The 100.

    The CW

    "It destroyed their relationship and just didn’t make sense — the whole scene was so out of character for both of them. Their relationship could have been written so much better."

    11. When Daphne sexually assaulted Simon by trying to get him to impregnate her without his consent on Bridgerton.

    12. When Michael was seemingly killed off and then came back with amnesia as "Jason" on Jane the Virgin.

    The CW

    "It completely ruined the beautiful love story between Michael and Jane."

    —andreas4d285ede9

    13. When Alex left Jo for Izzie on Grey's Anatomy.

    Alex leaves Jo a note saying he loves her but is also in love with Izzie
    ABC

    "He left after repeatedly telling her that she was the best he'll ever have, just so he could be with Izzie and their two children that he didn't know he had. I get that Justin Chambers left the show, but it just wasn't good writing. Jo had her run of shitty husbands and boyfriends, but Alex was the golden one. He didn't go through all that character development just to send her a note saying he left!"

    —SwannieRiver

    14. When Meredith told Derek, "Pick me, choose me, love me" on Grey's Anatomy.

    Meredith tells Derek she loves him and to pick her
    ABC

    "It took away her character's strength and Derek took advantage of that for the rest of their relationship until his death."

    15. When Guzmán and Nadia broke up because they couldn't handle long distance on Elite.

    Netflix

    "I hated that they had relationship problems in Season 4."

    —ramennoodlesoup

    16. When Omar cheated on Ander while he was going through chemotherapy on Elite.

    Netflix

    "I loved Omar and Ander, but that just ruined the relationship for me. Ander deserved to know the truth."

    —danidani22

    17. And when Omar and Ander both cheated on each other with Patrick on Elite.

    Ander tells Omar he hooked up with Patrick but that "it was just sex," Omar hooks up with Patrick later that same episode
    Netflix

    "I hated them all throughout Season 4 and was so glad when they broke up, but then they got back together — like, NO!"

    —ameliarose1

    18. When Jim surprised Pam by buying his parents' house for them without talking to her first on The Office.

    NBC

    "Buying a house is an enormous life decision and shouldn't be taken lightly. The idea that Jim thought this was a sweet gesture just highlighted how narcissistic he was. It was an early indication of his lack of respect for Pam. Jim was never cute after that for me."

    —glolightly

    19. When Rory and Dean slept together while he was married on Gilmore Girls.

    The WB

    "I couldn’t even watch the show after that."

    —brooklenjones

    20. When Fitz declared war to "save" Olivia on Scandal.

    Olivia confronts Fitz for going to war
    ABC

    "The whole storyline was horrible."

    21. When Lucas and Peyton went behind Brooke's back on One Tree Hill.

    Lucas says he doesn't want to hurt Brooke but he needs to be with Peyton, kisses Peyton
    The WB

    "I wanted Lucas and Peyton together from the beginning, but after the SECOND time they both snuck around behind Brooke's back, I was over it. By the time Lucas and Peyton got married, I was not into the relationship at all. They went from being my favorite couple to the most cringey pairing on the show."

    —jessicashog

    22. When Mutt and Alexis had no idea how to communicate on Schitt's Creek.

    Alexis: "Maybe I need to talk less and listen more and you need to talk more and listen less," Mutt falls silent
    Pop / CBC

    "They seemeed like they were more of a friends-with-benefits kind of thing. I feel like Alexis had a way stronger relationship with Ted and that they were meant to be more than her and Mutt ever were."

    —n_jb99

    23. When Spike attempted to rape Buffy on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    The WB

    "I know they were already a toxic couple, but it was fun to watch their 'will they/won’t they' dynamic for a couple seasons. However, this scene completely ruined it and took everything too far. Even though Spike was my favorite character, it was hard to like him at all after that."

    —arcticmankeys

    24. When Asher and Olivia had relationship problems in Season 3 of All American.

    Asher tells Olivia he "connected" with Vanessa in Mexico over the summer
    The CW

    "There isn’t a specific moment where they went downhill, but I used to love Asher and Olivia. Then in Season 3, the writers just completely ruined their relationship. I still ship them more than Spencer and Olivia, though."

    —reid_stilinski

    25. When Jane cheated on Spinner with Declan on Degrassi: The Next Generation.

    Jane kisses Declan
    CTV

    "I don’t hate Spinner and Jane, but it still completely tainted the relationship for me."

    —kielilougheedj

    26. When Tristan repeatedly invalidated Miles' bisexuality on Degrassi: Next Class.

    Tristan: "Decisive my ass, you can't even decide if you like boys or girls"
    Netflix

    These two already had a rocky foundation, but this was the final straw for me. I hated how the writers constantly tried to paint the relationship as perfect and amazing when, in reality, it was anything but that.

    27. And finally, the whole "We were on a break!" mess between Ross and Rachel on Friends.

    NBC

    "It ruined Ross and Rachel for me and I never saw the couple the same way again."
