When this phrase is used in the context of an ongoing romantic relationship, this could indicate the moment in which the speaker realizes that their feelings are not fully reciprocated, and lead to a MakeUpOrBreakUp dilemma. If it is instead used by an ex-lover, it can serve to show the audience that the current pairing is [[OneTruePairing True Love]] after all.

This is very common in NetorareGenre (or {{Cuckold}}) stories, where it is used to further the humiliation of the cuckolded party by showing how much dominant the lover is.

* ''TheBible'': Happens at the end of the parable of The Prodigal Son, where the brother who ''didn't'' leave home and waste all his money wonders why he doesn't get a fatted calf, etc., etc.
** The actual end of the parable is the father answering with the next stock phrase, "[[{{YouDidntAsk}} You never asked]]".
** The brother doesn't exactly get hosed, though; the father will still bequeath everything he owns to the loyal son, but for now he's just rejoicing that the prodigal son came home.

* The first season of ''BoardwalkEmpire'' has an example. Jimmy is [[LikeASonToMe like a son]] to VillainProtagonist and CorruptPolitician Nucky Thompson. When Jimmy gets in trouble with the law in a way that could potentially blow [[TheRoaringTwenties Nucky's interest in the illegal alcohol trade]], Nucky doesn't directly help Jimmy but he doesn't cut him loose either, instead offering Jimmy a little cash and a chance to jump town. After Jimmy leaves, Nucky's brother/[[TheDragon Dragon]] Eli rhetorically wonders if he would get the same slack. [[spoiler:Later in the season Eli is seriously wounded and publicly exposed as a DirtyCop. Nucky fires Eli from his position as Sheriff... at least until after the election is over, when he immediately hires Eli back. Too bad Eli has already become TheStarscream and joined a conspiracy against Nucky by then.]]

* In an episode of TwoAndAHalfMen, Charlie spends most of the episode teaching Jake how to behave at his first "boy-girl party". Eventually, Alan complains about how Charlie never taught him anything, and basically left him on his own, and suffered socially for it. Charlie does seem remorseful for this, but mentions how he was just a stupid teenager at the time, and didn't want to hang out with his little brother.
