Even Joseph Gordon Levitt thinks that Tom tends to be overly romanticised, and that his actions were meant to come across as selfish, not romantic. He tries to mould Summer into his own perfect dream girl, and it's not until she breaks up with him that he sees her as an actual person.

josh and Cher are ex step siblings. the relationship is absolutely not toxic....
It's a complicated relationship but not toxic. Firstly, bcz their parents hv divorced but Mel(CHER's dad) still loves josh as his son. Mel himself said that you divorce Wives not children and is still emotionally connected to josh but is not connected by law which reflects that Josh and cher hv every right to be in a relationship. Furthermore, throughout the movie, I could tell from Mel's gestures and expressions that he does want Cher and Josh to date. If you hvnt noticed that you hvnt watch Clueless carefully enough. I love clueless and hv watch the movie several times and can 100 % be sure that Josh and Cher's relationship is not toxic.

Okay interesting concepts on all these movies. (not familiar with nearly all of them at that) 1991 Beauty and The Beast I completely wholeheartedly DISAGREE with. It wasn't Stockholm Syndrome, she took her father's place to protect him. Belle helped Adam change for his better, to be better for her. Belle only realizes her friend is more to her as he dies in her arms.

Massimo and Laura should've been in the list because they're the most toxic romantic couple there.

[James-gjrn]

Until i heard about it, i never would have imagined Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes didn't like each other in real life

[kriscynical]

Cinema Therapy has excellent episodes about a lot of these couples/movies (like how Belle and Beast is _not_ Stockholm Syndrome).

There's nothing wrong with enjoying fiction, but the siblings/guardians/parents of younger people should definitely make an effort to make sure they know that these things aren't _actually_ as ✨perfect✨ or ✨romantic✨ as they seem on film because fiction is fiction, even when it might _seem_ realistic.

My niece was a tween when the Twilight books were released, and she was OBSESSED with them. Since my sister just obsessed right along with her and didn't see anything wrong at all about Edward or Jacob (her ex-husband would tell you a LOT about why), I had to be the one to have chats with her about things like:

"It might seem romantic that Edward sneaks into Bella's room at night to watch her sleep, but if a boy ever does that to you? RUN. That's him being a stalker, and it's creepy. No normal boy does that. EVER."

and

"No boy should ever take your decisions away from you to make them himself the way Edward and Jacob do to Bella. EVER. You are your own person, and your autonomy is something boys should value and respect just like _everybody's_ autonomy should be respected, _ESPECIALLY_ if they say they love you."

I often wonder how many girls from her generation ended up in manipulative, abusive relationships out of the starting gate because they thought Edward or Jacob was ✨dreamy and romantic.✨

Heathcliff and Cathy in Wuthering Heights

[amandalea]

I disagree with the Forrest Gump reading, it comes down to Jenny’s trauma and self worth. She loves Forrest but doesn’t see herself of being worthy or good for him so she dates all these trash bags that she doesn’t care about. She stays away from Forrest when she has his child because she doesn’t want to burden him or is hoping he maybe finds someone else. But when she finds out she’s sick and terminal she knows that it’s Forrest that she can trust to be there for her. A lot of ppl that have suffered trauma particularly women would love to have someone like Forest who is a safe harbour like that. I also kinda disagree with the notebook, while the start of their relationship is 100% dodge. The arguing isn’t always a bad thing, they don’t hold anything back from each other and know they love each other at their worst.

Romeo montage was just a confused young man who should have had better influences to help him understand the feelings of love

[carlagado]

I personally think Hardin and Tessa from the after series should be on this list.Both of them are toxic for each other

[angelaspychalski]

I agree with several couples. The only one that I would like to discuss is Andy and Nate from the Devil wears Prada. The boyfriend here is blamed because the relationship didn’t work. But thinking about it; which relationship could work with that schedule. As we saw, she could have brief romances, like the one with Christian, but nothing meaningful. There’s no time to develop anything. So in my opinion, and everyone can disagree, it is not Nate’s solely responsibility for the failure of this relationship.

They’re better be the same for Television couples I mean there’s a lot almost every pairing except for Lexi and Fezco from Euphoria, Ross and Rachel from friends, Ted and Robin from How I Met Your Mother, Derek and Meredith from Grey’s Anatomy, Jade and Beck from Victorious, Sam and Freddie from Icarly, Dwight and Angela from The Office, and Carrie and Mr Big from Sex And The City,

4:45 well this changed my look of Romeo and Juliet forever, I thought they actually were a Healthy couple, I had no idea they were a toxic couple

[Ms.Black]

Everyone forgets that Romeo and Juliet are like 14 and 15 years old. What teenager has a healthy relationship?
Same with Grease. Although the actors were in their 20’s and 30’s, they were supposed to be teenagers.😂

[rubygracemoseley]

I don’t understand how Fifty Shades of Grey became so successful. The relationship is so ridiculously toxic and manipulative. It’s also very dumb and at times so incredibly bad it’s funny how it’s supposed to represent a good romantic relationship 😂

[samhauser]

Jesus, can’t we enjoy movies anymore without starting a meToo debate?!? Yes, some boss dating an employee. So what? Happens in real life and does not mean it’s always toxic or whatever. I know tons of couples that started out in the job and are now happily married. Give it a break.

[Iggybart]

romeo and juliet made your top teen couple list, i'm not sure i can call something a top couple that's also toxic. and they are not the only one on both lists they just happen to be number 1 on the top teen couple list. also back off my favorite movie love actually lol

[michaelmonthey]

Love Actually is one of the most overrated movies of all time. Mainly because almost all of these relationships are a tough pill to swallow.

[mypeopleskillsarerusty]

Disney’s Pocahontas and John Smith. That movie should’ve never been made. It’s historically inaccurate and she was a child

[ChristianKumi-us]

how can you tell me that after and 365 days is not part of the list, hardin and tess only can just blow your mind off with their insane toxic relationship am telling you it was suppose to be the number one
