* Lilith from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' didn't even begin to realize that she was aroace until she was already in her late forties. Given her backstory (and the fact that she lives in a NonHeteronormativeSociety), it's likely that she mistook her lack of desire for sex and romance as simply not having the time for it.

* One episode of ''Series/NewTricks'' has the cast investigating a decades-old unsolved kidnapping case. The truth is the "victim", a young woman, actually eloped with her female partner to another country, but later died in an accident. An elderly relative of the family helped them elope and [[SecretKeeper kept it secret from their conservative relatives]], who assumed she'd been kidnapped. The reason the truth stayed hidden for so long, even after the young girl's death, is that if this older woman had told anyone what really happened, it'd invite questions of ''why'' she helped the young couple elope, which would invite further questions that "[she'd] been avoiding her whole life."
