10 TV Couples You & Your Bae Should Never Try To Be Like

10 TV Couples You & Your Bae Should Never Try To Be Like

Aria & Ezra from Pretty Little Liars: Aria was only 16(!!) when she and Ezra started their relationship — and he was her TEACHER. That’s so illegal, and to be honest, it’s really gross. Aria may have lied about her age when they met, but later in the series, Ezra admitted he knew about her age all along. In fact, he used her just to beef up the book he was writing. Yuck, right? Well, Aria didn’t seem to care that she was lied to, used and manipulated. Instead of parting ways, they kept dating and eventually got married. On the bright side, neither one of them turned out to be A. (Courtesy of FreeForm)

Cookie & Lucious from Empire: If these two are verbally attacking each other, they’re chasing each other with a wooden bat. And physical abuse is never healthy for any relationship. There have also been elements of cheating, betrayals, lying, and back stabbing, so this relationship is extremely toxic. (Courtesy of FOX)

Olivia & Fitz from Scandal: As for Olivia and Fitz, their relationship was/is just as tragic as the rest. The two met and started their romantic relationship while he was MARRIED. That’d be a deal breaker for us, but not for Olivia. And that’s not even the worst part about their relationship. As iconic as they may seem, you have to remember that Fitz is very insecure about his own value, so he constantly tries to control Olivia. His jealousy once got so out of control that he put her under surveillance so he could watch her every move. Could you imagine if your boyfriend or girlfriend did that to you? Ew. Furthermore, they’ve also lied to each other multiple times, so they are super terrible for each other. (Couresy of ABC)

Blair & Chuck from Gossip Girl: Everyone loves Chuck and Blair, but he’s not a good person. In fact, Chuck tried to rape two different women in the very first episode of the series. He also treats everyone like scum, including Blair. But hat doesn’t mean she’s the innocent one in the relationship. She lies, steals and cheats on him throughout the series, so they’re just a bad mix for each other altogether. (Courtesy of The CW)

Elena & Damon from The Vampire Diaries: We know we’re going to get a lot of hate for this one, but hear us out. Elena was often judgemental of every decision Damon ever made. But yet, everything he did was to protect her. Ironic, right? He also struggled to please her, but failed miserably each and every time. She held him to such a high standard that she constantly set him up to fail. (Courtesy of The CW)

Brenda & Dylan from Beverly Hills, 90210: Their relationship was volatile from the getgo. When Brenda’s father disapproved of her dating Dylan, she ran out of her house to live in his. But he sent her packing once he got sick of her. And over the course of their relationship, he had issues with addiction and cheated on her with her best friend, Kelly. So not cool!

Debra & Dexter from Dexter: As viewers know, Dexter was a serial killer, but he had a heart of gold and that’s why we rooted for him. However, things got super weird when he and his SISTER, Debra, started having romantic feelings for each other. Incest isn’t cool. (Courtesy of Showtime)

Cristina & Burke from Grey’s Anatomy: This relationship was constantly a competition. Each wanted to be better than the other, and they often became jealous of each other in the workplace. Plus, Cristina was an intern when she met Burke, and he was an Attending. Their relationship was frowned upon in the beginning, but that was even the worst of it. When it came to their wedding day, Burke left Cristina high and dry at the altar. He then packed his bags and left town. True love would never lead to such a heartbreaking ending. (Courtesy of ABC)

Carrie & Big from Sex and the City: Sure, Carrie and Big were “end game”, but was he really the best man for her? No. Big was the man that hurt Carrie the most throughout the series. He even cheated on his wife with Carrie. And you know what they say — if he cheats with you, he’ll cheat on you… (Courtesy of HBO)

Joey & Dawson from Dawson’s Creek: It’s often said that the best relationships start as friendships, but in this case, that wasn’t true. Joey was often judgemental and critical, but Dawson also held her to such a high standard. It was impossible for her to live up to his expectations for her. She often felt like she wasn’t good enough for him, and maybe that’s why she ended up picking Pacey in the end. (Courtesy of The WB)
