* A variant appears in ''Literature/EightCousins''. Rose doesn't leave, nor threaten to go anywhere (mostly because she really can't), but she does let loose a volley of anger against most of her cousins when they upset the sickroom in which cousin Mac is recovering from a near-fatal illness. The fury coming from the normally sweet and placid girl leaves the boys in a state of shock, and as they come out of it, they realize that she's been the only one of them who's really been taking care of Mac, and "we haven't been half good enough to Rose." They resolve to do better going forward and demonstrate this trope to her.

* Kirara in ''Manga/InuYasha'', but subverted when it's revealed she was actually called away for an errand by Myoga.

* One episode of ''Manga/SgtFrog'' has his mother visit and embarrass her son with her antics. After Keroro snaps and tells her off, she decides to cut her visit short and return home early. Keroro realizes how badly he hurt her feelings and races to catch her at the station...[[spoiler:and doesn't make it in time]].
* Attempted in ''{{Manga/Berserk}}'', at the end of the Golden Age arc. Guts feels that being a rich mercenary in peacetime is not for him, and so packs his bags. His TrueCompanions show up and try to convince him to stay, to no avail. Then Griffith shows up to remind Guts that he still belongs to him until he can beat him. [[TookALevelInBadass Which Guts proceeds to do,]] and then he leaves, leaving Griffith to his StartOfDarkness.

* In one issue of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', Sue (feeling increasingly ignored and sidelined by her teammates) considers leaving to become an agent at Nick Fury's SHIELD-agency. However, just before she's about to leave the team permanently, she sees a series of interviews with Reed, Ben and Johnny, during which the guys say they feel that Sue's the key to their success and that they'd be lost without her. This is what ultimately convinces Sue to stay with them instead of becoming a SHIELD-agent.

* Subverted in an episode of the SitCom ''Roc'', where the resident ne'er-do-well announces that he's leaving and storms out. The other characters just make bets on how long he's be gone, ranging from "back in a hour" to "never even gets out of the house". The latter proves to be the winning choice.
* Dustin from ''Series/StrangerThings'' spends at least two seasons brooding about how he thinks he's TheFriendNobodyLikes.

* In an episode of Series/TheBasilBrushShow, Basil leaves the flat after his friends turn their back on him for his seemingly nasty attitude towards his cousin, Mortimer.
