When a couple is separated against their wishes, and their love is particularly strong, it is fully expected that they will try to find each other, and refrain from getting involved with anyone else. However, sometimes this is actually quite hard to accomplish, especially in the case of someone believing their lover will never come back, or that they are dead. But unexpectedly, their lover comes back to them, and they are happily reunited.
Or they would be, if it weren't for a little problem — they didn't wait. Not only did they not wait, but they've remarried. Not only did they not wait and remarry, but they've started a family!
If she wants to wait but is coerced into marrying, it's You Have Waited Long Enough — whereupon her true love will show up in time to save her from the wedding.
If she does wait, and a reunion reveals she is no longer in love, it's Old Flame Fizzle, which tends to be treated far more sympathetically.
If she sent word when it happened, it's a "Dear John" Letter.
This is often a staple companion of Stranger in a Familiar Land, as the character will frequently discover upon their return home that their love has had to marry someone else.
A variation occurs when she engages in Taking the Veil; this is often treated more sympathetically, that she did so to escape pressure to marry someone else, or in despair.
The name of this trope is a subversion of the popular saying, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." The popular saying "Out of sight, out of mind" is more likely to be accurate, though.
Odds of a relationship surviving a physical separation depends largely on two things: the commitment of the parties involved, and the duration of the separation compared to the duration of the relationship prior to the separation (and the ease of making the separation seem less: compare a long video chat with a terse E-mail). A new romance is likely to be nipped in the bud, but an older flame is likely to grow stronger if the two in question are determined to keep it alive.
Not to be confused with the Trope Namer, King's Quest V, which has this as a subtitle.
Contrast Second Love, The Mourning After, You Have Waited Long Enough, I Will Wait for You, and Belated Love Epiphany.

During the final season of Zoey 101, Chase and Zoey attempt to carry on a long-distance relationship. When it doesn't work, Zoey dates James, the guys' new roommate. Even though James was the nicest guy in the world (literally. They broke up and all James said was "I get it"), he was the most hated character for getting in the way of the long-anticipated Zoey/Chase relationship. In the end, Zoey ends up breaking things off with James for Chase, but many fans boycotted much of season 4 because of the Zoey/James relationship.

In Miss Saigon, after Chris was separated from Kim, he returned to America and married, after a suitable period of emotional catatonia. Kim, who had gotten pregnant, awaited the day that Chris would return to Saigon and take her and their son to America. Needless to say, when Chris found out that Kim was still alive, he had a bit of explaining to do to his wife, Ellen.
Although you might question the suitable period of emotional catatonia... According to the timeline given by the characters, getting married was pretty much the first thing he did after coming back to America.
John, Chris' lieutenant, tells Kim, "He went crazy when he lost you, spoke to no one for a year. Then he finally said "I'm home now, my life has to go on here." So he mourned her for a year before moving on with Ellen.
On top of that, he thought Kim was dead. Which isn't a wild stretch of the imagination considering Kim was a hooker married to an American GI and she'd just seriously pissed off a North Vietnamese officer.
This is the tried-and-true Madame Butterfly plot.

In one of the Brother Cadfael novels by Ellis Peters, it turns out that the murdered man's wife used to be Cadfael's fiancée — long ago, before Cadfael left on a crusade. Most of the other characters seem to think that Cadfael still has a crush on her. He denies this vehemently, and says she did the right thing in not waiting for him to come back.

In the Pokémon fic AAML: Diamond and Pearl Version, when a talk with Brock helps Ash realise his true feelings for Misty, he calls for Charizard to rejoin his team and then flies Charizard all the way back to Kanto so that he can ask Misty to rejoin him in his travels (and Charizard then flies Ash and Misty all the way back to Sinnoh, even if the dragon is tired afterwards).

The first two seasons of Homeland showed that after years of being a POW in the Middle East, Nicholas Brody comes home and eventually learns that his kids are older and don't recognize him (particularly his son) and his wife, Jessica, moved on and fell in love with his best friend, Mike. Justified that Jessica and Mike thought that Brody is dead until they got the news. This cause problems later on until Jessica decided to end the affair in order to rekindle her relationship with her husband. However, any attempt to restore the relationship failed due to Brody's secret of being part of Abu Nazir's terrorist network to kill the Vice-President and later, being forced to work with the CIA by Carrie who he had an affair with. At the end of Season 2, Jessica and Brody knew that their marriage is never going to work out so they broke up with Brody going back to Carrie until everything went into hell by Abu Nazir's Thanatos Gambit of pining the blame on Brody for the bombings at the CIA headquarters, causing Jessica and the kids to suffer the public backlash and Brody a wanted man in Season 3.

In The Scarlet Letter, Hester's husband has been separated from her, and she (erroneously, it turns out) believes he's dead, and falls into the arms (and bed) of Reverend Dimmsdale. She becomes pregnant, thus bringing the affair into the open, and setting the story into motion.

Runaways: In Runaways (Rainbow Rowell), Gert is brought back from the dead two years later, and learns that her boyfriend Chase is now about 20 years old, and thus too old to resume their relationship, as she is still about 16. Chase had hoped that she would wait until she was older to resume their relationship, and does not take it well when he catches her making out with Victor instead.

Given an interesting twist in David Eddings' The Belgariad. Garion grew up on a peaceful farm, with his somewhat dim-witted best friend, and the flirtatious girl next door... who became the object of both their affections when they grew a bit older, a fact that she enjoyed immensely. Then, Garion get swept up in this whole 'save the world from an evil god' quests, leaving the farm behind, and quickly maturing into a bona-fide, Magic Knight-style hero. Then, 'bout halfway through his quest, the party swings by the old farm, and he finds that his friend married the girl... said friend, however, is terribly impressed with Garion's new heroic profile, and apologizes for snatching up the girl in his absence... and the girl is both ready and eager to dump him to run off with the new and improved Garion, too. Unfortunately for her, Garion's found himself a fierce-tempered redheaded Princess while out and about, and while he still cares for his old girlfriend, he carefully hides it to make sure she'll stick with the steady guy. Besides, he's got a destiny to catch up with...
There's also that if Garion doesn't marry the princess, a centuries-old treaty will be voided and the resulting diplomatic disaster will irreparably sunder the armies of the West at just the exact time all goodly nations need to unify to avoid being crushed by said evil god. Add in that Garion is falling genuinely in love with Ce'Nedra and vice versa, and that Zubrette's life expectancy would be measured in days if she tried to share the rigors of the quest with Garion, and, well, who can blame him for not wanting to ruin her marriage and then end her life in the same month.

In Kevin & Kell, when Lindesfarne Dewclaw and Fenton Fuscus began their relationship, it was when Lindesfarne was living as a porcupine. Being diurnal to his nocturnal, that meant they couldn't be together during the shorter summer nights. Eventually, Fenton took a lover, moth Tammy Tussock. When this was discovered, Lindesfarne's dad, Kevin, told her she was really a hedgehog, which is not only nocturnal, but also an insectivore.note The handwave given is that her original adoptive mother, Angelique, didn't want to hunt bugs for her; so she was raised as a porcupine, which is an herbivore. This was "forgotten" after Kevin and Angelique divorced. Lindesfarne initially tried to hunt Tammy to get her out of the way. But being an inexperienced hunter, and per the strip's Arc Words,note "Never talk to your prey; you may become friends." Lindesfarne and Tammy instead became friends, and got revenge on Fenton before Tammy stepped aside and Lindesfarne took him back.

Double subverted in The Perez Family. Juan Raúl and Carmela, who have been separated for 20 years by the Cuban Revolution, spend most of the movie looking for each other to resume their marriage. During their search they both meet somebody else they start to fall for, but then they finally find each other. The next-to-last scene is played with some vague dialog that makes it sound like they are going to get back together, but it turns out that they have in fact agreed to end their marriage amicably and continue with their new partners.

In the Timeline-191 series, Jefferson Pinkard is drafted to go fight in WWI. When he finally gets leave, he finds his wife in bed with his old steel-mill buddy, who came home from the trenches short an arm. He forgives her, largely due to his own transgressions at whorehouses near the front. After the war, the sorry state of the Confederacy drives him to the Freedom Party. His absence leads his wife back to the steel-mill buddy. These betrayals are a big part of what turns him on to the path that ends in his execution for crimes against humanity during the "population reduction."

Young Justice: Prior to dating Tim Drake, Cassie Sandsmark had been with Conner Kent, who died. Tim and Cassie had a brief relationship (which could be interpreted as Sex for Solace without having ever gone as far as sex), then break up. Then Superboy comes back from the dead. The pair are sure that he's going to be angry at them, but he's cool with it—hey, it's not like they knew his death was temporary.

Karim of Eternal Darkness is tasked by Chandra to retrieve an ancient treasure if he wants any chance of her love. However, when he speaks with her later, she admits that he was gone on his quest so long that she gave herself to a nobleman. However, the nobleman's mistress didn't take kindly to this... Chandra was dragged from her bed and murdered. She's speaking to Karim as a ghost.

Harry Potter: Referenced. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, when Harry is going to leave on his quest, Ginny jokes that he might "run into some Veela" and forget about her, so decides to give him something to remember her by. They're in the middle of an intense snogging session (which was implied to be going a bit farther) when Ron bursts into the room. It should be noted that Harry broke up with Ginny in the previous book to keep her safe; this book makes it clear that she's ignoring that, and as far as she's concerned they're still a couple.

The Batman Adventures: Deconstruction. According to The New Batman Adventures episode "Cold Comfort", after Nora Fries was cured of her terminal illness, she waited for her missing and presumed dead husband Victor Fries for some time before she gave up waiting, marrying her doctor Francis D'Anjou and leaving Gotham for good. This was expanded in Batman: Gotham Adventures #5, Batman: Gotham Adventures #51, and Batman Adventures #15. In Batman: Gotham Adventures #5 Mr. Freeze teams up with Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl to rescue Francis because he cares about her happiness; after Francis is save and Freeze escapes, Francis reveals that Nora still loves him. Batman: Gotham Adventures #51 shows that Mr. Freeze has been sending letters to Nora asking to see her one more time, but that Francis has been hiding all the letters. The issue ends with Mr. Freeze leaving for the Arctic, accepting that Nora does not want anything to do with him, as Nora arrives at Arkham Asylum asking for him. In Batman Adventures #15, Francis, jealous of Nora's feelings for Victor, frames him for attacking him by having a robot freeze him, hoping to convince her to see Victor as a monster. Nora refuses to believe that Victor was behind the attack and leaves for the Arctic to find him. Victor confirms that he was not responsible, and that he would never hurt Francis because she loves him. Nora wants to believe him and admits she does not love Francis, and is not sure she ever did, as she embraces him. Batman and Batgirl arrive to apprehend Victor, who chooses to fight back, thinking Batman will arrest him for his other crimes even if he isn't responsible for Francis' attack. During their fight, Batman causes Victor's suit to overload, which leaves his head to fall into the Arctic Ocean, devastating Nora. After learning the truth, Nora leaves Francis in prison. After Nora talks with Victor's former assistant Koonak, Nora returns to the Arctic, hoping to find Victor's head. It's implied that she never found him and spends her whole life looking for him. So because she understandably tried to move on with her life, Nora separated from Victor again, and what makes it worse is Victor did not come to see her because his condition has completely destroyed his body and he believes he can never be with her, when in fact Nora does not care and still loves him.

Supernatural:
In an episode Sam and Dean meet a woman Molly who was being chased by a ghost who was killed fifteen years ago in a car accident and she couldn't find her husband after the car crash they were in (caused by the ghost). At the end of the episode, Molly finds her husband was all right ... and married to someone else. Molly was in fact the one who accidentally killed the ghost fifteen years ago and was unable to accept her death, thus reliving that night for fifteen years.
Season 8's Romantic Plot Tumor: while Dean is trapped in Purgatory, Sam has a relationship with the widow Amelia whose husband turns out to be not quiet dead. Amelia chooses to get back with her husband then spend one last night with Sam. She asks him to either chose between her and Dean and Sam eventually stays with Dean.

In Raising Hope, the sister show to My Name Is Earl, it's barely averted. Virginia thinks that Burt has been kidnapped and is a crying mess missing him. A cop who has had an unrequited crush on her for years decides to help her out around the house, and pretty soon warms up to her due to her thinking that he's seemingly better than Burt. However, just after she decides to move in with him, Burt returns, and Virginia calls it off to stay with Burt. It also turns out that the whole situation was a ruse by Virginia's grandmother Maw-Maw to get first Burt out of the picture by tricking him to run away from home, and then her and her son Jimmy to move out, by feeding tips to the cop on how to get on Virginia's good side.

"A Quick One (While He's Away)", also by The Who, and in many ways a precursor to Tommy. The female protagonist is distraught at the prolonged absence of her (armed services?) boyfriend and has a fling with Ivor, the Engine Driver. In this case the original couple winds up reconciling.

Y: The Last Man: Sort of kind of done. The story in short: Yorick has a long distance phone call with his girlfriend, Beth, but it gets disconnected before Yorick, who had intended to propose over the phone, can say what he wanted to say. After this, complete gendercide ensures, and Yorick is left the only living man on Earth! One year and a lot of adventurers later he finally meets up with his dear sweetheart, Beth... only to find out that she had intended to break up with him during that phone call one year ago, because her heart had gone yonder during his absence. Not only that, but she had realized that she was actually in love with Yorick's sister!

The thing is Reito, confessed his love right before being put into cold sleep, his love Erisa shares his feelings and said she would wait for him, and now in the new world it seems Erisa has disappeared while an officer in charge of making Reito do his “mating� looks exactly like Erisa, but with a different personality and bigger breasts. He can’t help but see Erisa in her and the officer won’t stop at anything to make him do the deed, so Reito goes through extreme self-control to try to find Erisa before anything happens.

In Spawn (1997), the title character comes Back from the Dead, and finds out that his girl married his old partner. He's somewhat perturbed by this. The partner, meanwhile, is scared shitless... but really, wouldn't YOU be? Ex-boyfriends are bad enough when they aren't undead antiheroes with demonic powers. In the end, he gets over it, and even notes that "they belong together" after seeing how happy they are when they are reunited.

Subverted in The Odyssey, where everyone believes that Odysseus is dead EXCEPT his wife Penelope. Despite the hundreds of suitors that pester her and believe that Odysseus is never coming back, Penelope remains completely faithful and confident in her husband. Meanwhile, Odysseus was dealing with goddesses who don't handle rejection well, and only did what he had to do to get home to his wife and not be transformed into a pig for the rest of his life. And even when offered a goddess, he still just wanted Penelope.

Being A ΔΙΚ: Both Maya and Josy demonstrate significant desires in starting a relationship with the MC throughout Episodes 1–3, including potentially sleeping with him, despite both being in committed relationships with each other, which he finds out about in the ending of "100%". All parties are, unusually, presented sympathetically to varying degrees: the two have been separated because of Maya's father's Financial Abuse of her, and both girls face extremely high-stress situations, with Josy's In Love with Love tendencies making her terrified of being alone and Maya's stress regarding being accepted by the HOTs for a chance at free tuition and freedom from her father, somewhat explaining why they are drawn to the MC, being their coworker and roommate, respectively. In the end, once he reveals all at the end of "When Worlds Collide", the two get back together, potentially adding him into their relationship.

During Season 2 of Supergirl (2015), Kara has to let Mon-El leave Earth after setting off a planet-wide bomb to chase the other, militant members of his race, the Daxaamites. Six months later, he returns cured of his lead "allergy" due to advanced medical procedures from the future. Unfortunately, for him it was 8 years later, and he had married someone else (Saturn Girl), whom accompanied him back to the past. Brainiac 5, who was also with him, told Kara that for the first 6 years, Mon tried to find a way to return before deciding it would be impossible.

This is what Maid Marian fears in Robin Hood (1973), that Robin had simply forgotten about her during their time apart. However, the very next scene subverts it, as Robin is clearly shown thinking about her.

In The Middle, this is Played for Laughs. Sue's first boyfriend, Matt, moves to another school. They then attempt a long-distance relationship, but Matt keeps talking about this other girl he met that is showing him around the new school and being really nice to him. Sue doesn't get the hint that he's started dating the other girl until Matt outright breaks up with her.

Mr. Clark tried to start a relationship with Kay, but she said no because she felt guilty about cheating on her husband. Because he got turned down, he sold his house and moved to the next town. Earl and Randy assumed it was because they tormented him.

This happens to Tom Hanks's character in Cast Away; he comes back after five years to find that his loved one started a family with someone else two or three years after he vanished. In a subversion, she's instantly ready to completely abandon her family and run away with him, but he rebukes her. This, in turn, was referenced in Family Guy, after Peter was stranded with Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe on a desert island, only to finally return home and find that Brian had taken over his former role in the home. (They explicitly only married for stability, and, to Brian's chagrin, never did the deed. This is to keep their Unresolved Sexual Tension, well, Unresolved.)

Lina was resigned to being stuck on Earth in Blood That Flows. She also ended up falling in love with Shiro who found her unconscious when she first arrived, got married, and had Nanoha. Thus when she learned the TSAB located her home universe, she knew her return was going to be hard for her old friends, especially Gourry, since it was her attempt to save him that started all this. She figured that there was a chance that Gourry and Syphiel got together. However, it gets more awkward when she returns home, as it turns out it's only been a month since that battle with Hellmaster.

A particularly tragic example occurs in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening when you come across a dying Grey Warden who begs you to return his wedding ring to his wife, only for the player to walk in on her with another man. She shows no remorse, and you don't get to do anything about it despite having potentially killed others for far less.

In Quantum Leap, Al's first wife, and true love, remarries while he's a POW in Vietnam. This leads him to have a string of failed marriages and relationships. Several episodes involve Sam having a chance to change some aspect of this, either by telling her Al is still alive or rescuing Al in Vietnam. Unfortunately, this is never the reason he's there at the time, and his current mission prevents him from being able to help each time. In the series finale, Sam expresses that this is his biggest regret, and gets a chance to go back and tell her Al's still alive and coming home, thus changing history so they end with Babies Ever After.

The Witches of Karres by James H. Schmitz: At the start of the book, Pausert is engaged. When his ship returns after his first encounter with the people of Karres, he finds that not only is he in trouble with the law through no fault of his own, his fiancee married someone else almost as soon as he left. It's even implied that his departure on a freelance Space Trucker mission in a ship on loan from said fiancee's father was a plot to get rid of him, which she was in on. He takes it relatively calmly, under the circumstances, as she's the only person involved in his extremely cold welcome home who he doesn't throw off the ship at gunpoint.

In Voices of a Distant Star: Words of Love/Across the Stars, Noboru gets a girlfriend during the one-year silence from Mikako. He rationalises it away as never having formalised a relationship with Mikako. Even after getting the email, they don't break up until the second year of college, and he mentions having had two more in the eight-year gap between that and her final email depicted in the film.

Teal'c's wife in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Family". She knew he wasn't dead. His betrayal, however, has put his wife and son into the "untouchables" category. Marrying the other guy was the only way to rid themselves of the shame. Luckily, the other guy finds out she still loves Teal'c and goes to betray him, forcing O'Neill to Murder the Hypotenuse.

×××HOLiC: Watanuki becomes unable to leave Yuuko's shop and Himawari can only visit him for his birthday once a year, which pretty much eliminates any chance of normal romance for them. Years pass and Himawari marries someone else. However, Watanuki knows and fully supports her decision.

In the Book of Judges, Samson posed a riddle to the Philistines during a week-long marriage celebration to his Philistine bride that, if they solved it, he would give them thirty linen sheets and thirty changes of clothes, but if they fail, they would give him the same. The riddle, however, was so tough for the Philistines to discern the answer to that they resorted to emotional blackmail by threatening his bride-to-be, and thus they got their answer through her. Upset that the Philistines resorted to cheating, Samson nonetheless fulfilled his end of the bargain, but while he was out doing that, Samson's bride-to-be ended up marrying someone else, and by the time Samson fulfilled his end of the bargain, the bride's father ended up offering his other daughter to Samson instead. Samson was furious and ended up vandalizing the Philistines' fields, which resulted in starting a Cycle of Revenge that didn't end until Samson's death years later.

In Shaman King, when both Jun and her spirit partner Bailong look at each other in the middle of a battle and faintly blush, Tamao is quick to point out that they make a good pair. To which hilariously, Anna then points out that Bailong did have a wife previously and declared he was cheating on her. Of course, Bailong is dead and then again, so is his wife.

Mass Effect:
You. Yes, you in Mass Effect 2. Assuming you romanced Kaidan, Ashley, or Liara (none of whom will join you in your adventures the second time around) in the first game and they survived only for you to choose to romance a different person in the second game, it's this. Particularly if you start a romance with one of the new love interests before meeting your old flame for their One-Scene Wonder. Depending on how that meeting goes down though, you may or may not feel guilty about it.
While you were dead, Kaidan's friends convinced him to begin seeing a doctor, since it's not like most guys expect their ex-girlfriends to come Back from the Dead. It's also eventually revealed that he still wasn't over you, which is why your reunion on Horizon goes so badly.
Ashley doesn't mention if she saw anyone while Shepard was dead, but Liara definitely didn't move on. She's been too busy trying to take down the Shadow Broker for trying to sell your body to the Collectors, and if you romanced her in the first game, you're then given the opportunity to hook back up with her in some DLC and pick up where you left off, averting this trope in her case. It helps that, unlike Kaidan or Ashley, Liara knew that there was a possibility Shepard could come back. And if you did cheat on her and mutually agree to break up, she seems to take it well and wish you happiness.
Shepard has a picture of whoever the romance in the first game was in his/her room. If you choose to start a new romance, it'll be turned face down... so this will come back to haunt you in the third game.
Amusingly, this happens to Shepard in Mass Effect 3 if Jacob was romanced. He ends up with ex-Cerberus scientist Brynn Cole. He didn't even wait six months.
Also in 3, there's a woman on the Citadel discussing with her asari mistress how to tell her husband who's off defending Earth from the Reaper invasion that she's leaving him. Amusingly, said mistress later admits that she didn't think their relationship was serious, leaving the cheater with nothing.

Batman:
Stephanie Brown/Spoiler discovered an unpleasant consequence of faking your death for a year — her boyfriend, Robin, has since started dating again. She was gone long enough that Robin's relationship with Cassie had both come and gone, but at the time of her return Tim was dating Zoanne, a normal girl at his high school, and she took it quite well, acknowledging that it was her fault for disappearing. She and Tim managed to remain friends and crimefighting partners as he stayed with Zoanne. Of course, then a new creative team came on board; Steph was ordered by Batman to betray Tim to a villain to help "make him a better Robin", in the process entirely ruining her friendship with him. Very shortly after Tim then finally hit the end of the Trauma Conga Line that his life had turned into ever since Identity Crisis (2004) and Steph's faked death, had what can only be described as a complete nervous breakdown, and in the process of cutting himself off from any and all beneficial human contact, Tim broke up disastrously with Zoanne. And so the whole point was rendered spectacularly moot.
The Batman Adventures: Deconstruction. According to The New Batman Adventures episode "Cold Comfort", after Nora Fries was cured of her terminal illness, she waited for her missing and presumed dead husband Victor Fries for some time before she gave up waiting, marrying her doctor Francis D'Anjou and leaving Gotham for good. This was expanded in Batman: Gotham Adventures #5, Batman: Gotham Adventures #51, and Batman Adventures #15. In Batman: Gotham Adventures #5 Mr. Freeze teams up with Robin, Nightwing and Batgirl to rescue Francis because he cares about her happiness; after Francis is save and Freeze escapes, Francis reveals that Nora still loves him. Batman: Gotham Adventures #51 shows that Mr. Freeze has been sending letters to Nora asking to see her one more time, but that Francis has been hiding all the letters. The issue ends with Mr. Freeze leaving for the Arctic, accepting that Nora does not want anything to do with him, as Nora arrives at Arkham Asylum asking for him. In Batman Adventures #15, Francis, jealous of Nora's feelings for Victor, frames him for attacking him by having a robot freeze him, hoping to convince her to see Victor as a monster. Nora refuses to believe that Victor was behind the attack and leaves for the Arctic to find him. Victor confirms that he was not responsible, and that he would never hurt Francis because she loves him. Nora wants to believe him and admits she does not love Francis, and is not sure she ever did, as she embraces him. Batman and Batgirl arrive to apprehend Victor, who chooses to fight back, thinking Batman will arrest him for his other crimes even if he isn't responsible for Francis' attack. During their fight, Batman causes Victor's suit to overload, which leaves his head to fall into the Arctic Ocean, devastating Nora. After learning the truth, Nora leaves Francis in prison. After Nora talks with Victor's former assistant Koonak, Nora returns to the Arctic, hoping to find Victor's head. It's implied that she never found him and spends her whole life looking for him. So because she understandably tried to move on with her life, Nora separated from Victor again, and what makes it worse is Victor did not come to see her because his condition has completely destroyed his body and he believes he can never be with her, when in fact Nora does not care and still loves him.

5 Centimeters per Second plays with the trope. Takaki and Akari find new romantic partners while they are apart, but Takaki wants to practice I Will Wait for You, which alienates him from others; it is only by the end of the film that he manages to move on and embrace this.

In Gunnerkrigg Court, it's implied that this is the reason Surma Stibnite decided to marry the aloof and stoic Anthony Carver over her ex-boyfriend Sir James Eglamore. Eglamore was undergoing training for warriorhood in the Court and would be miles away for long periods of time, while Tony was a surgeon who was utterly devoted to her and stayed by her side. Eglamore hates him for various reasons, with the main one being that Surma chose him. The flashback chapter "Get Lost" revealed that she cheated on him with Tony while on a field expedition in Brazil. Eglamore's hatred is quite justified here as upon his return, Surma bluntly broke up with him, stating that Eglamore was just never there.

The pilot of The Flash (2014) shows that Iris started a relationship with Eddie while Barry was stuck in a nine-month-long coma. Before his awakening, Iris and Barry couldn't bring themselves to express how they felt about each other, and he eventually decides to let Eddie date Iris. However, it's shown that she's not truly over her feelings for Barry, as shown by her displeasure at him going out with Linda Park. Eventually, Eddie breaks up with Iris despite her protests, conceding that he was never her first choice.

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2016), while Link and Ilia intially seem to hold mutual feelings, Ilia's amnesia and the broadening scope of Link's quest start pulling their attention elsewhere. Even a touching reunion can't quite salvage what they had, as whatever romantic affections Link may have held for her seem to have shifted to Midna. In the epilogue, Ilia is seen waiting in vain at the bridge for Ordon for Link to return, though she looks quite happy to welcome Shad instead when he shows up in Link's place.

In the 2010 adaptation of Riverworld, Matt finds that his beloved Jessie has shacked up with Richard Burton. What makes this really painful for Matt is that from his perspective, he and Jessie were only separated for a few days. From Jessie's perspective, she searched for Matt for four years, then fell for Richard after he saved her from some rapists.

Two Gentlemen of Verona: Proteus is sent off to visit his friend Valentine. He tearfully leaves his beloved, Julia, swearing to be faithful—and then catches a glimpse of Sylvia, the girl Valentine loves, and spends the rest of the play knee-deep in increasingly evil/ridiculous machinations to win her. In the final scene, he defects back to Julia literally as soon as she shows up again, and everyone is happy.

In the backstory of In Your Arms Tonight, the protagonist and Genji Higayashima were High-School Sweethearts until Genji left Japan to pursue his soccer career by training in Italy and stayed gone for twelve years. He'd promised to come back to the protagonist when he left but never contacted her while he was gone, and by the time he comes back at the start of the VN, she has quite reasonably long since gotten over him and has been married for three months. Until she finds out her husband is cheating on her- while she can look past it and try to salvage their marriage, she can also break it off and get back together with Genji.

In The Walking Dead (2010), Shane tells Lori that her husband Rick has died (which was very likely true as far as he knew, and the only way to convince her and her son to leave for somewhere safer), and they end up hooking up. That is, until Rick meets up with the group outside of Atlanta. Unfortunately, Shane has fallen in love with Lori in the meantime, ending up bitter and resentful when she goes back to Rick and tries to act like nothing happened between them.

When her husband unexpectedly shows up alive, she panics and tells him that the baby is their teenage daughter's. Given how he reacts when the truth comes out, you can't really blame her for lying.

In Tranquilium, the female main character falls in love with the hero. The hero is then separated from her for a long time, eventually leading her to reunite with her husband, whom she never got around to divorcing (this turns out to have been the right choice, as they discover they still do love each other after all).

A French Village: Hubert, a French POW, came home and found that his wife had born a son with another man. For the boy's sake, he'd claimed him, but Hubert clearly resents her for this.

Happens to Marco's father in Animorphs. His wife (Marco's mother) disappeared two years before the beginning of the series, and everyone believed her to be dead. He got married again in book #35, and then, as soon as book #45, he found out that Marco's mother was alive. This was, as you would expect, stressful for him. But he didn't face any kind of Love Triangle, since his new wife, having been captured by the Yeerks, was not herself, and being with her wasn't an option.
Also, Marco lied to his dad, saying that the new wife had always been a Yeerk, and had started dating him only as an opportunity to lead him to the Yeerks.

A very incestuous example in A Song of Ice and Fire, Jaime Lannister is captured by Robb Stark during the prelude of the War of the Five Kings. While his younger brother Tyrion tried to come up with an exchange to get Jaime back, Cersei started to sleep with Lancel, their cousin, and Osmund Kettleback though she did this to get them on her side for her own plans. When Jaime came back to King's Landing, he had no idea about the affair until Tyrion tells him that "she's been fucking Lancel, Osmund Kettleblack and Moon Boy for all I know". Jaime didn't believe it at first and started to grow distant from Cersei after she insulted him and his "stump". Until he confronted Lancel who confessed that he slept with her, Jaime decided not help Cersei when she got arrested for adultery by the Faith Militant.

Jarhead. It's particularly unnerving to watch Anthony survive attack after attack and keep his hopes up only to have Kristina leave him for the guy she said "was just a friend" after the war was over. Not to mention the porn video scene. This trope is a major theme and comes in endless waves.

According to Chuckles the Clown from Toy Story 3, this is actually the main reason why Lotso went evil in the first place: Both Lotso and Chuckles were once owned by the same little girl, but one day, the girl accidentally left the two of them and her baby doll behind while picnicking with her family. The three toys eventually make it all the way back to the girl's home, only for Lotso to discover that his owner had replaced him with an identical toy in the meantime (presumably her parents bought her a new one because she missed him). As a result, Lotso lost all faith in children's love, turned evil, and vowed that one day, all other toys will suffer from his wrath. The toys eventually got onto a Pizza Planet truck in search of a new home, both of which will ultimately fulfill the now-opposing toys' destinies: Chuckles was eventually rescued and is now happily living in Bonnie's house, while Lotso ended up in Sunnyside Daycare, where he then planned to terrorize all of the toys living there.

Done for laughs in the Futurama movie Bender's Big Score. Hermes's body was damaged and would take a week or two to repair while his head was kept alive in a jar. His wife Labarbara said that a week was too long, so she immediately hooked up with her ex-husband Barbados Slim. All this over Hermes's vocal protestations.

In Hadestown, Orpheus decides to work on his music rather than help his girlfriend Eurydice look for food and shelter during a harsh storm. Starving and neglected, Eurydice accepts a proposition from Hades to come work for him in the Underworld city of Hadestown in exchange for food and shelter. Orpheus is so preoccupied he doesn't even realize at first that Eurydice has left, and has to be updated about this by Hermes. Once Eurydice is in Hadestown, she cannot return to the above world, and Orpheus and Eurydice are permanently separated from each other.

The Reluctant King: After Jorian was forced to flee Xylar for self-preservation, before long he cheated on his wives repeatedly, which is basically just treated as what you expect of a man. Estrildis, his favorite wife who he returns for, it turns out also did this, falling for another man who impregnated her. He's enough of a good guy to accept this and not hold her to a double standard, aiding both to go into a neighboring land where they can live together with their baby. Jorian ends up with Margalit, her maid.

7 Seeds seems to be playing with the idea of subverting this, but also playing it straight on the emotional side. Hana and Arashi are a couple and have been placed in separate Teams for the project and, upon learning that the other is alive and part of the project, finding each other is their personal goal. While Arashi seems resolutely having his heart set on Hana, despite Natsu being obviously in love with him but him not noticing, Hana seems to be more inclined to liking Aramaki. Nothing has happened yet and Hana is still very devoted to Arashi, but she does seem to care more and more for Aramaki. Her two friends don't seem to help.

Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Which is a subversion within a subversion. Tristran, the adventurer, fell in love with Yvaine during his journey and was no longer in love with Victoria, the object of his affections, when he came back to see her. Depending on whether you've seen The Movie or not, how Victoria reacts is both similar and different.

After Mary Jane was trapped in a Year Inside, Hour Outside Alternate Universe, she gave up hope of Peter rescuing her during the few years she was stuck there and ended up getting together with the only other adult stuck with her and the two of them adopted two kids they found there. However, after it was revealed that the two kids were actually Artifical Humans created to keep her and the other adult together so it could use Mary Jane as a sacrifice, it's becoming harder for the two to stay together, suggesting they only stuck by each other because of the kids.

In The Princess Bride, Buttercup doesn't wait for Westley (although she doesn't so much move on as give up on love and consent to a loveless engagement). He was presumed dead, but he seems to think she should have waited for him anyway.

According to Word of God, this allows Will to be with Elizabeth as much as he wants, as long as the job is still done.

In Bittersweet Candy Bowl, Mike is in a Long-Distance Relationship with Sandy. After he rejects a Love Confession, one of his friends invokes this by telling him flat-out he should dump Sandy and get together with the local Love Interest, as "long distance relationships never work out anyway". Mike isn't too pleased at having his feelings on the matter brushed away and his love for Sandy trivialized, and it only damages his friendship with the others..
Unfortunately, in recent chapters it is revealed that Sandy developed feelings for her hairdresser and ultimately breaks up with Mike.

In the Outlander series, Claire ends up with two husbands in two different time periods, gets pregnant by one husband and raises that baby with the other husband (though the marriage itself sounds like it wasn't terribly happy after her return). Definitely doesn't forget about #2 (who was presumed dead) when she went back to #1, but felt guilty for wanting to be with #2 when #1 still existed in his own timeline alive and well. It applies even better to Jamie's activities in the 20 years Claire spent in the 20th century. He has a couple flings, one resulting in a child, and even gets married to a widow who once tried to have Claire killed as a witch.

This is Ron's main fear in the Grand Finale of Kim Possible following graduation. Since Kim was getting hundreds of college acceptance letters while he wasn't getting any at all, he was worried that the separation would lead to a break up. Whether they go to college together or not isn't revealed, but Word of God confirms that no matter what, their relationship will endure and flourish.

In Leave Your Spirit, Katara has Sex for Solace with Zuko due to Aang's frequent absence. Even after Katara and Zuko agree not to cheat again, Katara can't help but feel her feelings for Aang dwindling over the decades. She cares for him, but not with the intensity she did as a teenager.

In the Who's rock opera album Tommy and in the subsequent movie, the title character's father, Captain Walker, goes off to war and is later declared missing in action and presumed dead. Tommy's mother then remarries. This may have seemed like a decent idea until Captain Walker returns home, and going by the album version kills her new husband or in the film is killed by him.

Wicked: Melena's husband Frexspar has been off all winter "finding himself", leaving Melena and their infant daughter Elphaba alone in their shabby lil' house with few to interact with. When an attractive glassblower named Turtle Heart pops up at her door one day, it takes Melena's willpower not to pounce him on arrival and they later end up sleeping together. As it turns out, there's no issue with fidelity as Frex ends up liking Turtle Heart as well.

In As Time Goes By, Lionel and Jean were in young and in love when he went to Korea. His letter back to her telling her his address got lost. When both got no letters from the other, they assumed the other had lost interest. Both married, then he divorced and she was widowed, and they got together serendipitously many many years later (30 or 40) and fell in love again.

This is one of the main plot drivers of Superman Returns: Superman went off for some years to find Krypton, but didn't bother telling anyone where he was going or when he would be back. His mother mostly accepts it but does scold him for leaving her unexpectedly, but Lois fits this trope perfectly: she married someone else, has a son, and won a Pulitzer Prize for a news article "Why the world doesn't need Superman". Of course, the son is Superman's, and from all indications both Lois and her husband knew it.

A man frozen in ice in the South Park episode "Prehistoric Ice Man" returns to find his wife has remarried and had two children with her new husband, who are eight and thirteen. He's understandably confused since he was only gone for three years...
Oddly enough Based on a True Story from Nederland, Colorado, not too far from the actual South Park the show takes place in. Well, barring the guy coming back to life, that is.

Aksiniya from And Quiet Flows the Don doesn't deal well with being left alone. When Stepan goes off on maneuvers, she cheats on him with Grishka. Eventually they run away together. Later, when she is working at General Listnitsky's estate as a servant and Grishka is off on maneuvers, she cheats on him with General Listnitsky's son Yevgeny.

The introduction to the first legal edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover discusses definitions of obscenity and offers us this example: "I come home after three fucking years in fucking Africa [fighting in WW2] and what do I fucking well find? My wife, engaged in illicit cohabitation with a male!"

In The Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond Dantes is gone for years, and Mercedes marries his enemy and raises a son during that time. She was told he was dead and did not know that her husband was responsible for his plight, and Dantes specifically says the eighteen months she waited before moving on was all a lover could ask for.
One of the many "do not follow the plot too strictly" movies tried to "justify" this by claiming Mercedes was pregnant with Dantes' child and had no choice but to marry to save her reputation, and thus got married earlier than in the novel.
Lampshaded and parodied in The Simpsons episode parodying The Count of Monte Cristo, where everyone including Marge as Mercedes turns on Homer as Dantes for his revenge plot.

At the beginning of the novel American Gods, the main character, Shadow, is finally getting out of prison and can't wait to see his wife again. Unfortunately for him, not only did his wife just die in a car crash, but she unwittingly caused said car crash by giving a blowjob to the driver, Shadow's best friend. Poor guy, especially considering that she was part of the reason he was in jail for the first time. She then come back as a zombie and tries to apologize.

In Todd McFarlane's Spawn, the title characters comes back from the dead to find his wife remarried to his best friend. In a subversion, it turns out that he has partial amnesia, and recovers the memory of specifically asking his friend to "take care of" his wife if anything were to happen to him. It's unclear whether he specified the sexual aspect...

Another example of a male not waiting in the Stargate Atlantis episode "The Intruder". During flashbacks of the team's time on Earth after a year without contact, it's shown the Dr. Weir's boyfriend, first seen in the pilot watching a video explaining what she was doing, had met someone else during that time. Turned down a chance to get to Atlantis to stay with the new woman.

Cyberpunk 2077: The only ending where V survives puts them in a coma for two years. Even worse is that they develop a permanent disability to using most types of cyberware, meaning they'll never be even a shadow of their former popular self again. In those two years, your romantic interests have moved on; Judy finally left the city and, Panam went back on the road and is too busy leading the clan to deal with her abandonment issues rationally, River sold out to pay for Randy's medical bills and is in a dark place (or got himself killed from depression if Randy died), and Kerry got back to his job as a rock star.

Pre-emptively invoked in a John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme sketch. A man asks his girlfriend to give him a quest to prove his love. After he refuses to kill a panda for her, her second suggestion is that he can go to the Arctic Circle for ten years, and when he returns, if she's still unmarried, he may claim her as his bride.

Mark didn't wait for Captain Janeway in Star Trek: Voyager (in fairness, Janeway and her entire crew were missing-presumed-dead). This scars Janeway pretty deeply, and the idea is revisited in a couple of episodes where Voyager's crew is under alien mind control. In the first, Janeway hallucinates about Mark appearing on Voyager with her; in the second, as part of an elaborate illusion, she receives "letters from Earth" in which Mark reveals he has broken off his engagement with the other woman.

In the first season of How I Met Your Mother, when Victoria goes to Germany on a scholarship, she and Ted begin a long-distance relationship, but soon his attraction for Robin gets in the way. When he tries to have sex with Robin without breaking up with Victoria, the two women find out what he is up to and he loses both of them. Not forever, though.

In The Punisher (2017), Frank tracks down Micro/David's family and starts spending time with them, at first as an intimidation tactic since he knows Micro is surveilling them, then later to keep an eye on them as a favor to David once they develop a working relationship. Sarah kisses Frank while tipsy and lonely, and it probably would have gone further if Frank hadn't stopped her. Sarah can hardly be blamed; David had faked his death a year ago and she has no idea he's still alive. Suddenly here is a kind, helpful, hunky man who is spending a lot of time with her and her family. While David doesn't blame her, he does drink himself stupid out of despair that she's falling for Frank in his absence.
