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 the Trope Launch Pad.

Though I've seen this in longrunning TV shows, it seems to be a mostly Comics thing, where a Canon couple has been through thick and thin, life and death, and then a new writer takes over the series and within an issue/episode "oh, we're not together anymore," and may not even give an explanation why. Do we already have that trope?
