you really helped me out with this new trope i have found and i thank you for that. they are not as well known, but Ross and Demelza Poldark (Poldark 2015) fit this trope to the T. the problem is that the show tries to act like they're not an infuriating couple (they are promoted as a huge love story) and there was this nagging at the back of my head that something wasn't quite right. i finished the show last march it was only this week did i stumble across the failmarriage trope and reading into your explanation and examples did i finally see the truth of what they are. many thanks.
