One of my favorite couples was Julia and Griffin. They had such an exciting, romantic, passionate relationship. Griffin was Julia's boyfriend and they got married and they had an exciting, passionate relationship. Julia and Griffin had so many great kisses, great sex scenes, great dialouge, great romantic moments, great chemistry, great kissing scenes, great emotional scenes, touching scenes, loving scenes, heartbreaking scenes and were such a great couple. I wish they stayed married. I cried every time they broke up. I even made clips of all their scenes as a couple when they were dating and married. Julia and Griffin were the best couple on Party of Five. Julia and Griffin had amazing chemistry, amazing kisses and an amazing romance and an exciting marriage. Julia and Griffin should have stayed together and should have given their marriage another chance. They were so great together. Julia and Griffin were the best couple in the series.

Julia and Griffin forever. They had so many great passionate kissing scenes and an amazing relationship. I wish they had stayed together and stayed married.

No offense, but why are you so obsessed with couples?

I wouldn't say obsessed, maybe what I'm typing sounds enthusiastic. I always loved watching shows where the couple gets together early on and has an on again, off again, emotional, dramatic relationship, where the couple hooks up early on and the series is about the couple dating and staying in a relationship, sometimes they get married, have sex, break up, get back together, have tons of great kissing scenes. I like it when couples remind me of my boyfriend, but he's always getting into trouble or relationships from my past.

Anyways, what was a couple from a series you liked that broke up that you wish had saved their relationship?

All of your threads are about fake couples from shows. You look a bit obsessed to me.

And why does it matter if they have sex/kissing scenes? That is not what true love is about at all. I guess you don't really understand that couples who stay together long enough to enter married life aren't all about excitement and sex.

Besides, single people have more independence than those in dependent relationships. There is more to life than being with someone and having sex. :mellow: I guess I just don't understand why you're so into fictional couples that you have to make countless threads about them on a forum based on a video game.

Wow, sounds like you're very dedicated to that pairing, UM! :)

I've never seen an episode of Party of Five before (what kind of show is it?), so why not tell me more about your fave couple? Umm, lemme see...

What are Julia and Griffin's personalities like?
What was their relationship like - what was the dynamic behind it?
What was the attraction between the two of them?
Why do you like them, and why so much?
Why were they good for each other?
What moments made the couple steal your heart, and why?
Why do you think the relationship failed?
What do they mean to you as a couple and how do they reflect/challenge your views on love?

You seem to like them so much, so I'd really like more insight into why. What is it about them and their relationship that makes it so meaningful to you? *curious*

I mean, what's the point of us all saying "I like so-and-so from this series" when it means nothing to people who don't know squat about the series or the personalities of the characters? What not say what we like about our fave pairings and why we do, even though it didn't work out between them...? ^_^

That's quite funny - I've known people to substitute fictional guys for non-existent boyfriends or bad ones, but never for a real one they were happy with! :D

Agree 100%. I usually get more of a shippy heart-attack to see my favourite couple hold hands than making out. Sometimes, the very small things signify much more than the steamiest sex-scenes. Kissing and all that kind of tension is about passion, and that's an impermenant thing. But love is the thing that gets built underneath that, and if it's real, then it can endure. Sex and excitement is definitely not bad for a relationship, but it can't be all that defines it either. If more people waited until the "honeymoon period" of a relationship was over before considering a commitment as serious as marriage, I'm betting there'd be fewer divorces. :P At some point "You're the reason I breathe" becomes "Honey, could you take out the trash?" and love if what helps you cope and be okay with it when that happens (in my opinion, anyway).

Staying on-topic, I generally don't like it in a series when they go down the soap-opera route and try to keep the pairing "exciting" by constantly breaking them up rather than developing the relationship and showing how a happy and stable relationship can be interesting and exciting without all the drama of breaking-up and getting back together again. I know that real relationships don't always last and have their on/off moments, but I hate to see that kind of thing reduced to plot-device and instant-tension-creator. Especially when it comes at the cost of actually, y'know, going somewhere with the relationship and developing the characters beyond "I love you, I love you not". A real adult relationship should be about more than that. The "will-they-won't-they" stage of a fictional relationship is always very appealling, but I dislike it when writers try to draw it out and recreate it by constantly breaking up a pair and dangling a reconciliation in front of us. It just makes the relationship look unhealthy, like it could never really work on a long-term basis. <_<

I do go for a few (totally fanon) pairings that could never work out, or were doomed from the start, and where the beauty of it is that they never could stay together were they to get involved because the whole scenario is just a ticking time bomb, but I wouldn't say that they "break up" so much as implode. All too melodramatic for "breaking up" to be an accurate description. :P

But if I had to pick a couple who "broke up", the closest I can think of is John/Aeryn from Farscape (here's a wiki link for anyone unfamiliar with the show). They are an awesome couple who were annoyingly on-again/off-again for ages, though they stayed together in the end (woot). :fangirl:

Btw, because I'm too tired and lazy and lazy to post the how and why right now (especially cause the on/off dynamic doesn't do much for me, but it's just that this pairing is the exception), here's John and Aeryn's Top 25 Romantic Moments, if anyone's interested.
