* ''Literature/OnTheStreetWhereYouLive'': Will Stafford states he married his ex-wife straight after he graduated law school and that within a year "we both knew it was a mistake". Emily Graham remarks that she could've saved herself a lot of pain if she'd caught on so quick about her own disastrous marriage, which also occurred right after she finished law school.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Literature/ACryInTheNight'': Jenny and Kevin's marriage was shortlived. He was Jenny's [[FirstLove first serious boyfriend]] and they married shortly after she finished college when she was about 22 years old; Kevin was around the same age. Jenny unexpectedly fell pregnant with Beth shortly afterward, then had Tina a year later. Kevin wasn't remotely ready to be a father and committed husband, especially as he wanted to focus on his acting career (he even tried to talk Jenny into a termination during her first pregnancy). He moved out shortly after Tina was born and the divorce was finalized not long after that, they having only been married for less than three years. Although hurt, Jenny found that she wasn't as devastated by the divorce as she would've expected. It's implied Jenny rushed into the marriage - despite her grandmother's disapproval of Kevin - because she [[IJustWantToBeLoved desperately wanted]] the large, supportive family she always dreamed of (while she adored her grandmother, it was [[RaisedByGrandparents just the two of them for years]] and Nana's death proved how fragile such a family unit can be).

* ''Literature/LetMeCallYouSweetheart'': Kerry's marriage to her ex-husband Bob only lasted about six years. She was willing to make things work, especially as they had a baby together, but Bob wasn't interested and quickly moved on with his second wife, who just so happened to be his new boss' daughter. In hindsight, Kerry thinks that the only good thing she got out of the relationship was their daughter.



* They don't get married, but the romance between Wedge Antilles and Qwi Xux ends like this in ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends''. Qwi comments that almost everyone ends up in such a relationship at some point, but usually as teenagers; because of her [[LaserGuidedAmnesia recent forced memory loss]] and his teenage enlistment in the Rebel Alliance they never really had the opportunity.

* Marina Gregg's first husband [[spoiler:Arthur Babcock]] in the Literature/MissMarple novel, ''Literature/TheMirrorCrackdFromSideToSide.'' He was a realtor who just wasn't prepared to keep up with the lifestyle of a Hollywood star.

* ''Literature/TheHike2023'': Maggie's marriage to her ex-husband Adrian was brief, only lasting two years before they divorced (and it's implied they were living apart for some of that time as well). Maggie admits that she'd already been having doubts about their relationship before the wedding, having become increasingly aware of Adrian's more selfish and snobby side, but she went ahead with it because she'd just found out she was pregnant and she was too afraid to call off the wedding so late; Joni also suggests she was holding out hope the marriage would work out in the long-run. Needless to say, that hope was quickly dashed.
