The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Minor Flaw, Major Breakup when it's permanently. Second-Act Breakup / Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario (never understood the the difference) for temporal contrived breakups.

Thanks.
Is there a trope that's an inversion of Strangled by the Red String? Namely, a couple is shown to have a deep, meaningful relationship with lots of on-screen chemistry together... then they have one minor argument or some other fairly trivial thing happens and Boom! They decide that it's somehow an irreconcilable difference and they split up, typically without even trying to work things out.
