10 Common Rom-Com Tropes We Dislike 😒

We see a lot of repeated tropes in romantic comedies, but do we see any of those same things in real life?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright walk through ten of their least favorite rom com tropes -- from things that would never happen in real life, to things that would be super creepy if they did, and some that actually happen a lot in real life and what we can learn from that. They break down some of the things that make these onscreen relationships unhealthy, and some of the qualities and actions that make a stable, healthy relationship and how to implement these in our own relationships. And this gives them an excuse to cram in a whole lot of references to their favorite and least favorite rom coms! (Because they don't actually hate rom coms, just some of the tropes that perpetuate unhealthy relationships.)
