Maya was probably the only person she was with that didn't treat her wrong BEFORE getting together." —egegamboa064 2 Finn and Rachel from Glee Fox "I've never even cared THAT much about Glee, but Finn and Rachel. Honestly, the most heartbreaking one for me just because their relationship was actually real." —hotchickennugget "I mean obviously we know why it didn't happen but still. They were probably the best couple on the show and although they started off rocky, towards the end of their relationship they were really pushing each other to become their best person. Even after breaking up they still cared deeply about each other and I'll forever be said they didn't get the happy ending they deserved." —t44697521d 3 Glenn and Maggie from The Walking Dead AMC "I was so ready for their little family." —fashionzombiee 4 Regina and Robin from Once Upon a Time ABC "Regina well and truly deserved her happy ending after going through so much and redeeming herself. Still makes me cry thinking about it. They were perfect for each other." —pwincessrasia "I have no idea why he had to die, they were adorable together and made each other so happy!" —liv2read 5 Robin and Barney from How I Met Your Mother Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF CBS "I'm still bitter about it. Fuck Ted. —chij3 6 Clarke and Lexa from The 100 The CW "Their relationship will forever mess me up, it was such an amazing arc to all me ruined within seconds. I just wonder the empire they would’ve built together." —pandabearasti 7 Bonnie and Enzo from The Vampire Diaries The CW "They were so In love and one of the most unproblematic couples on the show. Killing Enzo off during the final season was for unnecessary shock value and I’m still not over it." —jordanf405e96175 8 Lane and Dave from Gilmore Girls The WB "Honestly, these two deserved a lot more attention. While yes, they were both side characters, they truly connected. From the first moment they met, they were a match made in heaven. He even read the entire bible for her – dedication. I was so devastated when he moved away and Lane got with Zach, I stopped watching the show." —bestsophia1012 9 Phoebe and Cole from Charmed The WB "Anyone who doesn't think these two deserve to be up here is WRONG." —pavlinat2 10 The Doctor and Rose from Doctor Who BBC "That was the most devastating part of Doctor Who I can think of." —ilikeaffenpinschers "The worst part is that Rose got her happy ending and the doctor didn’t get his, tbh." —viciousxvenom 11 Haley and Andy from Modern Family ABC "When I found out they broke up I was truly disappointed. They had such great chemistry that I don’t think she will find again. Her boyfriends before and after have been so predictable and boring. Andy brought adventure and sexual tension to the table and I think the break up was a big mistake." —bethancrowther 12 Haley and Elijah from The Originals The CW "They were the couple that broke my heart with the way the show ended!!" —megang4e4e7a682 13 Willow and Tara from Buffy The Vampire Slayer UPN "They were such a great couple and I’m still emotionally scarred for life after Tara’s death." —bead4094720b1 "I’m still not over Tara’s death. It was so intense and such a sad ending for not only one of the best couples, but also one of the first LGBTQ couples represented so honestly on a major television network." —allenc4cc279d27 14 Effy and Freddie from Skins E4 "I know everyone loved Cook and Effy together but he didn’t treat her well at all, Freddie loved Effy more and the fact that they killed him off still breaks my heart." —loish491e7c212 15 Rory and Jess from Gilmore Girls Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF The WB "They always understood each other and the grown-up version of Jess would've been perfect for her. " —scarlettl423b379ec "He was always the one to challenge and motivate her in both the original and the revival. He was so good for her and was way more supportive than Dean and Logan ever were. —amolina0425 16 Samar and Aram from The Blacklist NBC "They were the most amazing couple, and their ending left me in tears. I loved Samar and the show was much better with her on it. Her last few episodes were intense, and while I knew that she needed to disappear without Aram, there is still a part of me that wishes he had left with her or they had figured something else out." —caitlinhannah 17 Caroline and Klaus from The Originals The CW "Klaroline is forever a favourite of mine and it just makes me mad that they never got a real chance to be together." —elidantho 18 Shane and Carmen from The L Word Showtime "They were a perfect couple and my heart broke when they split. Jenny was the worst." —k4aa18d090 19 Daisy and Lincoln from Agents of S H I E L D ABC "It was so heartbreaking as well...." —protisthamozumder805 20 Allison and Scott from Teen Wolf MTV "They were the best couple in the entire show and had a lot of chemistry between the two of them. Despite the things they went through, they still loved each other. Allison was Scott’s anchor and always will be. I just wished they didn’t kill her off." —rv385354 21 Jack and Ianto from Torchword BBC "*flings self into the sun*" —missyb4c2b896f6 "Yes! I got so mad when Ianto died!" —fiendishkitty 22 Jackie and Hyde from That 70s Show Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF FOX "They absolutely should have ended up together. They brought out the best in one another and they both grew as people while they were together." —brittanyg4baf9d707 "They were so freaking cute together and had such amazing chemistry! They kept pushing each other to be a better person. I can't bring myself to watch it again because the last season is a shitshow and she ends up with Fez." —orianed 23 Ted and Tracy from How I Met Your Mother CBS "I mean I know technically they got together, but then you find out she’s dead and then he goes back to Robin. It just really made the entire show feel like a waste of time. I’ve never gone back and rewatched the show because that ending infuriated me!" —harli 24 Lady Sybil and Tom Branson from Downton Abbey ITV "Her death during childbirth was so tragic and he was so in love with her. Ugh, my heart breaks just thinking about it." —angelam487733d39 "That was so hard to watch." —hollyskittlesb Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity.
