You’re reading a romance novel or one with a major romantic subplot and then the designated love interest of the female (or male) protagonist does something that hurts the protagonist and you hate them for it, and wish they didn’t end up together… but sure, they end up together.
Due to the nature of this discussion, spoilers from the books are included.
Example of how to write:
Gideon de Villiers from The Ruby Red Trilogy.

Hey, I just thought I’d let you know the spoiler cover-up in your post didn’t work. I think because you didn’t put a space between the !< and the T. Sometimes, it’ll show like it worked on your phone or computer but doesn’t for everyone else reading if there’s a hiccup.
Oops!
I don’t read a lot of romance, but there is a very early sex scene in the Outlander series that makes you go… “and she stayed???”
Obviously, the relationship grows and gets way more loving and way better as the series goes on, but I cannot believe how Claire handled the situation. (Yes, I know she literally had no choices, but I still felt like the author had gone too far.)
Celia St. James in Seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. She was unbearable for me
