Falling in love is risky. There’s a good chance somebody’s heart will be broken, and it’s not always a metaphorical break. These types of love stories don’t end until someone is bleeding out on the floor.
How could be a pair of people who loved each so much be so fatal to one another? Perhaps they were never really in love after all and were only looking to screw each other over. Others find themselves sacrificing their love lives in order to do the right thing.
These TV couples certainly had their reasons for wanting to kill their significant others. Was it better to have loved and killed than to have never loved at all?

Bortus and Klyden’s marriage has been tested during their time on The Orville. They’ve stayed together, but the road ahead probably won’t be smooth if the Moclan females rights movement continues gaining traction. A Moclan divorce — aka fatally stabbing your spouse — can’t be ruled out.
