See NoMacGuffinNoWinner when the trope phrase is directed at something of intrinsic value, rather than an object of affection. May overlap with BetterPartnerAssertion, the leadup to this trope if the assertion is unsuccesful, or SteppingStoneSpouse if the spurned partner has sacrificed a lot to support their partner prior to the breakup. See also LoveMakesYouEvil, {{Yandere}}, and LivingEmotionalCrutch. The polar opposite of IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy. Often the person trying to kill the object of their affection is NotGoodWithRejection. And if that person is a villain, you can bet they will have suffered a VillainousBreakdown.

Rearranging some entries in the Webcomics folder so they're in proper alphabetical order. Also adding another webcomic example.


* ''Webcomic/{{Spacetrawler}}'' may be the only work to combine this trope with TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Growp's attempts to murder Emily are actually his twisted way of saying he loves her. He eventually [[TakingTheBullet takes a bullet]] and dies to save her from getting killed by the wrong person.


Added DiffLines:
