Rom-coms are usually pretty much all-round feel-good movies that’ll leave you with a lighter heart and have you believing in love again. Sadly, most of those movies also have someone getting betrayed massively by someone they trusted or loved in the course of the movie. It’s not a pretty sight, but it happens.
Some of these betrayals are so shocking that we remember them more vividly than the plot of the actual movie. Let’s take a look at some of these borderline unforgivable betrayals that have graced the silver screen in the last few decades.
Love Actually (2003)
That one scene where Emma Thompson’s Karen finds a necklace between her husband’s things, thinking it’s a gift for her, only to later realize that professor Snape was cheating on her still breaks our hearts. It is a good and powerfully executed scene though, but unlike Snape Alan Rickman’s Harry doesn’t get a redemption arc in this movie. He’s just an idiot that starts an affair with someone from work and gets caught.
