Is there a trope for relationships which are out of order relative to each other, due to time travel? The Doctor's relationship with River Song, for example, or Karkat's relationship with John in Homestuck. Time Travel Relationship could have been that, but it's clearly about something different. I had the term "Asynchronous Relationship" in my head, but it doesn't seem to relate to anything on the wiki, and I don't know if it's a self-explanatory name anyway. I also don't know if there's a fourth instance of this (I haven't read The Time Travelers Wife, but from what I do know I assume it would also qualify)
