** Michelle Carpenter believed she and her boyfriend [[spoiler:Daniel]] were in love, despite [[spoiler:Daniel]] being around a decade older and their relationship being just a few months old. [[spoiler:Daniel]] led her on, with he being the one to pursue her and them both making plans for marriage and children when Michelle graduated. However, Michelle realised the truth when she saw [[spoiler:Daniel]] with his wife and daughter, not long after she learned Daniel had gotten her pregnant, and broke off all contact. [[spoiler:Daniel]]'s narration confirmed he never truly loved Michelle; he only saw their affair as a fling that went too far, regretted it because it could've ruined his marriage and barely thought about Michelle again after she ended things. Things took an especially dark turn when [[spoiler:Michelle informed Daniel she'd been pregnant with his child and given the boy up for adoption, with Daniel murdering her for "stealing" his son from him]].

* ''Literature/PieceOfMyHeart'':
** Roseanne says she once believed she and Daniel be together for the rest of their lives, with Daniel also referring to her as "the love of his life", but their romance went horribly wrong after Daniel got into a serious accident that gave him brain damage four years into their marriage (they'd dated in college prior to marrying); the injury drastically altered Daniel's personality, making him aggressive, paranoid, short-tempered and [[DomesticAbuse violent towards Roseanne]]. She still loved the man he used to be, but she was terrified of him of now and realised he wouldn't get better anytime soon, filing for divorce and moving far away [[TakingTheKids with their daughter]]. Despite her initial guilt, Roseanne has recently started dating another man and believes he could be her second chance at love, while Daniel's worsening psychological problems make him incapable of healthy relationships.

* In ''Literature/DevilVenerableAlsoWantsToKnow'', Baili Qingmiao is devotedly in love with He Wenzhao, her [[ChildhoodFriendRomance childhood friend]] and the [[ReincarnationRomance reincarnation]] of the deity her past goddess incarnation became karmically connected to, but she slowly realizes over the course of the story that He Wenzhao, while he does love her back to some extent, is a selfish and small-minded person who isn't half as invested in their relationship as she is and will never stop sleeping with other women no matter how much it upsets her and it's far better for her to give up on him for good than to try to cling to their toxic relationship.

* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'', being that it originated as a teenage hero, has a problem in that the constant running melodrama that Marvel likes spinning since their adoption of "the illusion of change" corporate mandate makes it difficult for any girl to be Spider-Man's soulmate for long, at least on the part of editors and executives if not necessarily writers and fans:
** Gwen Stacy was Peter's first real relationship, [[FirstLove the first girl he fell in love with]], and both Lee and Romita Sr. thought initially that she and Peter would be the OfficialCouple. But readers never liked the relationship since they her as a bland character and didn't care for the fact that she liked Peter but hated Spider-Man, wrongfully blaming him for her father's death. Even Creator/StanLee admitted that he saw Gwen as uninteresting. The writer Creator/GerryConway saw Gwen as a false soulmate but felt it would be interesting to add drama for her to die in a [[ComicBook/TheNightGwenStacyDied famous storyline]] that in his view allowed him to satisfy both groups. Gwen fans could see her as Peter's {{The|LostLenore}} while those who didn't care for her could happily start rooting for Peter to get with his real soulmate, ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson.
