I\\\'d like to add a comparison with CareerVersusMan, because this is often the male equivalent of that trope - it\\\'s just that we already know which choice is the \\\"right\\\" one for the protagonist. Going off to fight aliens in space instead of staying home with your spouse and family [[DoubleStandard makes you a brave, selfless hero if you\\\'re male and a cold, selfish bitch if you\\\'re female]]. So when TheObstructiveLoveInterest nags at the hero to stay home with her, we know she\\\'s wrong because fighting aliens is the \\\"right\\\" choice for him, and we find her annoying and petty because \\\'\\\'why can\\\'t she realise that\\\'\\\'?
