19 Disturbing TV And Movie Couples That Did Not Age Well (Like, AT ALL)

Warning: This station mentions intersexual assault.

Part of the amusive of watching TV and movies is getting swept up successful the relationships of the characters, particularly if you're a romance fan. But determination are immoderate fictional couples who crook retired to beryllium not-so-ideal erstwhile you revisit them later. Here are immoderate beloved ships that aged astir arsenic good arsenic rotten milk...

1. Aria and Ezra connected Pretty Little Liars. There person been a batch of teen shows wherever teachers slumber with their students, which is problematic enough, but it's genuinely chaotic that Ezra and Aria were 1 of the main couples connected the amusement and really endgame.

And sure, they didn't cognize helium was her teacher erstwhile they archetypal met and hooked up, and Aria lied astir her age, but it was inactive each beauteous ick, nary substance however overmuch they pretended to defy each different later.

2. Josie and Sam successful Never Been Kissed. It was 1 of the champion rom-coms of the '90s, and nary of america blinked an oculus implicit the information that Sam fell successful emotion with Josie erstwhile helium thought she was his 17-year-old student.

Sure, she's not actually 17 oregon a pupil — but the information she's a 25-year-old undercover newsman doesn't marque Sam's flirtation with her earlier helium knew the information okay.

3. Henry and Lucy successful 50 First Dates. At the time, it seemed ace romanticist that Henry would propulsion done the symptom of Lucy forgetting him each time to marque their narration "work," and the ending seemed similar a blessed one. But successful hindsight, being successful a narration with a disabled pistillate who has nary quality to retrieve oregon meaningfully consent to thing long-term, and past sleeping with her and impregnating her, seems much similar a cruel signifier of torture.

Imagine Lucy waking up 9 months large with nary thought however that happened? Or GIVING BIRTH erstwhile she's lone conscionable learned she's large to a antheral who is simply a alien to her? Or having an existent babe babelike connected her erstwhile she doesn't adjacent recognize she's a mother? It's conscionable bittersweet and atrocious for some Lucy and her kid.

4. Chuck and Blair connected Gossip Girl. The redemption of Chuck arsenic a quality was genuinely spectacular (and, successful hindsight, not a bully thing), particularly considering the information that helium sexually assaults 2 main characters successful the archetypal episode.

But adjacent putting that aside, Chuck and Blair were not bully for each other. They brought retired the worst successful 1 another, hurting each different and everyone other astir them implicit and implicit again. Chuck was really abusive.

5. Dan and Serena connected Gossip Girl. The bizarre determination to uncover that Dan was supposedly secretly Gossip Girl the full clip formed each of his actions, and peculiarly his narration with Serena, successful a full caller — and overmuch much antagonistic — light.

As Gossip Girl, Dan relentlessly harassed and bullied Serena, revealing backstage details of her beingness to everyone they knew, and shaming her repeatedly. It was each wholly creepy and gross.

6. Jake and Samantha successful Sixteen Candles. Jake Ryan was a full dreamboat and him picking up Samantha was the eventual teen rom-com blessed ending. But past you retrieve Jake handed his unconscious woman to different feline to bash immoderate helium wanted with her.

Even without that irredeemable moment, it's beauteous creepy that Jake lone becomes much funny successful Samantha aft helium discovers she wants to person enactment with him (which helium lone learns aft stealing her idiosyncratic note).

7. Bender and Claire successful The Breakfast Club. It's agelong been considered 1 of the champion teen movies of each time, but aspects of The Breakfast Club haven't aged precise good — notably, Bender and Claire's relationship.

What erstwhile seemed fist-pumpingly romanticist astir the atrocious boy/popular miss pairing present reads each kinds of uncomfortable — peculiarly the mode Bender consistently bullies and harasses Claire passim the movie, and adjacent touches sexually her without consent.

8. Ross and Rachel connected Friends. They're 1 of the astir iconic couples successful TV history, yet determination are truthful galore aspects of their dynamic that person not aged well. And yes, astir of them are due to the fact that Ross is really the worst.

He was jealous, possessive, belittling, and critical, and helium held Rachel backmost close until the precise end. She should've gotten connected that plane.

9. Kathleen Kelly and Joe Fox successful You've Got Mail. This 1 hurts a little, but connected apical of the movie's beauteous rose-colored presumption of email landing with a clunk successful the existent era, it's hard to get past however problematic the main narration truly is these days.

For starters, they're some successful superior relationships with different radical and are fundamentally cheating connected them. Joe lies to Kathleen astir who helium is for the bulk of the movie. And, ohio yeah, helium and his household are a cardinal portion successful the demolition of her dreams and livelihood.

10. Mindy and Danny connected The Mindy Project. Mindy and Danny's chemistry and banter was beauteous irresistible initially, but erstwhile they yet got unneurotic their narration became little and little cute and much and much toxic.

One of the biggest reddish flags was the mode Danny tried to unopen down Mindy's vocation and unit her to beryllium a stay-at-home mother, adjacent trying to instrumentality her into getting large — which was downright abusive.

11. Spike and Buffy connected Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sure, determination was thing amusive astir the unexpected pairing, and they had large chemistry, but Spike did immoderate beauteous reprehensible things implicit the people of the show.

Most notably — and the infinitesimal that perfectly sunk this vessel — was erstwhile helium attempted to rape Buffy aft she broke up with him.

12. Sookie and Bill connected True Blood. Another vampire romance that turned precise problematic, Sookie and Bill were the main mates astatine the commencement of True Blood, but their narration was not remotely healthy. Bill was lying to and manipulating Sookie close from the start.

Bill lone gets worse arsenic the bid progresses. A existent debased constituent successful his and Sookie's narration was erstwhile helium astir killed her due to the fact that of his uncontrollable thirst for blood.

13. Damon and Elena connected The Vampire Diaries. Delena was evidently the superior vessel connected The Vampire Diaries, and endgame for a reason. And yet, arsenic hard arsenic it is to admit, it's intolerable to wholly disregard the problematic elements of Damon's quality and his narration with Elena looking back.

At assorted times Damon abused and wounded Elena and her loved ones, including assaulting her champion person and sidesplitting her brother. It's truly hard to marque a lawsuit for romance amidst each that, nary substance however bully the chemistry is.

14. Daenerys and Khal Drogo connected Game of Thrones. Considering Daenerys is virtually forced to wed Khal Drogo successful the archetypal occurrence of the show, and helium past repeatedly rapes her connected screen, it's chaotic to deliberation that this became a fashionable vessel by the extremity of the archetypal season.

2011 genuinely was a antithetic time. It astir apt helped that conscionable astir each different narration connected the amusement was incestuous and/or abusive, truthful these 2 seemed saccharine successful comparison. Not truthful overmuch anymore.

15. Henry and Claire successful The Time Traveler's Wife. When The Time Traveler's Wife was released, it seemed terribly romanticist that these 2 characters were bound unneurotic and kept uncovering each different passim time. But successful hindsight, it's hard to tummy the deficiency of power oregon escaped volition Claire has successful the relationship.

Henry meets her erstwhile she's conscionable a kid and fundamentally shapes her beingness moving forward, fundamentally grooming her to beryllium his wife. Claire adjacent says astatine 1 constituent that she ne'er had a choice.

16. Tony and Jeannie connected I Dream of Jeannie. It whitethorn beryllium a classical sitcom but it really, truly hasn't aged well. Its taste appropriation and radical stereotypes are a immense problem, and erstwhile it comes to the cardinal romance, Tony and Jeannie's powerfulness dynamic is highly retired of whack.

Jeannie virtually calls him "master," and her full property and beingness are astir him. It's each beauteous unpleasant to revisit with a modern lens.

17. Sam and Darrin connected Bewitched. This is different classical sitcom successful which the cardinal narration has not aged well. The full premise of the amusement is astir the hijinks that ensue due to the fact that a quality antheral has joined a witch — but those hijinks hinge connected the information Darrin demands Sam suppress her powers.

Darrin fundamentally hates an indispensable portion of who Sam is, forcing her to fell it to play the relation of a hardworking housewife who lives to service her husband. Endora was close each along.

18. Josh and Susan successful Big. Big is simply a ace amusive '80s rom-com — if you tin get past the information that the cardinal romance involves a literal kid with an big woman. Even if he's successful the assemblage of an adult, he's inactive a young boy.

Susan mightiness not cognize that erstwhile it's each unfolding, but we arsenic an assemblage do, and it makes for beauteous uncomfortable viewing — particularly erstwhile the brace get intimate. And adjacent erstwhile Susan knows the truth, she inactive seems to person feelings for Josh.

19. Michael and Kimberly successful My Best Friend's Wedding. While Julianne's pursuit of Michael is really the main crippled of My Best Friend's Wedding, and his narration with Kimberly is an obstacle, it's Kim and Michael who extremity up unneurotic — which is ostensibly a bully thing, considering however toxic Julianne and Michael are passim the movie.

But actually, Michael and Kimberly's narration is not overmuch amended — astatine slightest for Kimmy. Julianne mightiness person been unhinged, but the problems she pointed retired successful their narration were connected the people — similar the property spread (Kimmy is lone 20!!), Kimmy dropping retired of assemblage to travel Michael astir for his career, and Michael's gross absorption erstwhile Kimmy does explicit doubt. Not to notation Michael definitely behaved successful a non-platonic mode with Julianne conscionable days — hours! — earlier his and Kimmy's wedding.
