Being in love can be hard, mostly for one reason: There's no guarantee your crush will feel the same. Indeed, in fiction, it's far more likely that you'll at least have to deal with a Love Triangle or two before you can be happy, but the rule with a love triangle is that they run on drama and angst from all characters involved. One easy way to add some tragedy is for a love-struck character to be an unwilling witness to their love and their rival doing anything from flirting and blushing, to outright doing the dirty. This is almost always Played for Drama. The witness is usually the protagonist or a character whose insecurities are already familiar to the audience, making the sting that much more painful. A particularly nasty rival will subject them to this intentionally, especially if the triangle is between the "school loser" and the Alpha Bitch. Other times, the lovers won't know they're being watched, making it less malicious but still hurtful for the watcher. In all cases, it's a slap in the face to the witness, who will more than likely use this moment as proof that they've "lost" the love competition. Expect tears to follow...or a Green-Eyed Epiphany, if they react with jealousy rather than anguish. If the jealousy is the intended reaction, it's Operation: Jealousy. All that said however, antagonists can be on the receiving end too, which will either be seen as fitting karma or an explanation for their bitterness later on. While this is usually reserved for characters who aren't already dating, established couples can have scenes like this, especially if someone is attempting Relationship Sabotage. In cases like these, it shows that the relationship is shaky or plagued by doubts and jealousy. Secure partners are more likely to break the moment up or shrug it off, while an insecure partner would internalize it and see it as a sign of trouble to come. These cases can also be entirely platonic, with the witness interpreting them as something more; this variant has overlap with Mistaken for Cheating, Not What It Looks Like, or even Relative Error. Non-consensual moments only count if the lack of consent isn't immediately obvious to the witness. A tricked or brainwashed love-interest, for example, may play into the flirting without actually wanting to. A victim of blatant sexual assault, on the other hand, is very obviously not in control of what they're doing, so the impact comes from a different source. Beyond that, the extent of the "flirting" is quite broad, as this trope is more about the reaction and impact rather than the lovers themselves. Compare Sex in a Shared Room, Emasculated Cuckold, Alone Among the Couples, Third Wheel, Netorare, Unbalanced By Rival's Kid, and Moment Killer. |

In Divinity: Original Sin II, if you have the Red Prince as a party member and allow him to enter Sadha's carriage with her, you can take a peek at the two having sex. Eventually, however, the Red Prince will discover and demand an explanation, where one of the options is this trope - saying you're jealous of Sadha. | |

In East, Rose watches her beloved happily courting the Troll Queen and muses that she is no better than said Queen if she wants to break up such a tender romance. Then, however, as she discovers just what atrocities are committed by the trolls, she realises the man must have been brainwashed to love someone who condones it (which is indeed the case). | |

In Emma, Jane and Frank are secretly engaged, and she has to watch him flirt with Emma (who is clueless about the truth). Finally she refuses to believe that flirting is just to keep the cover and wants to break the engagement. Meanwhile, Mr. Knightley decides to go away and stay with his brother for a while rather than continue to watch Emma, whom he has loved for several years, continue flirting with Frank Churchill. (When the truth about Frank's engagement to Jane Fairfax becomes known, he comes flying back to make sure she's all right.) | |

The "teenage love triangle" plot of folklore (2020) is kicked off when James comes to a school dance and sees Betty dancing with a guy, gets jealous, and leaves, having a summer fling with August instead. It's unclear whether Betty and James were actually dating or not, but either way, James comes to regret it because of how much it hurt Betty. | |

In the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, Willoughby watches, from a distance, the happy wedding of Marianne and Colonel Brandon. Willoughby does love Marianne, just not as much as he loves the money and carefree lifestyle provided by his Meal Ticket wife, and his expression shows that he has a moment of regret for what could've been, before silently turning and riding away. | |

Harry has to watch his crush Cho dance with Cedric and Ron has to watch his crush Hermione dance with Viktor. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry has a Green-Eyed Epiphany when he sees Ginny kissing Dean. Meanwhile, Ron and Hermione's Belligerent Sexual Tension goes on as Ron starts dating the very openly affectionate Lavender Brown and Hermione has to watch it, while Hermione performs Operation: Jealousy and starts dating Cormac McLaggen so that Ron would see that. |

A Waterbending Quirk: Tokoyami goes through this upon seeing how close Katara grows with Todoroki Shoto, having hidden his feelings for her out of the belief that she'd never see him the same way due to his avian appearance. Eventually, he rekindles his friendship with her, with Katara assuring him that they'll always be close and that he'll find somebody someday. Uraraka also endures this. While she'd been hiding her feelings for a while, she grows competitive upon noticing that Momo and Izuku are growing closer together. Ultimately, she accepts it, even encouraging Momo to reveal her feelings to Izuku and helping them hook up. |

Brad is, in turn, horrified when he finds her naked with Rocky, and their relationship is implied to be unstable for the rest of the film.

Happens to two people in overlapping love triangles in Hussar Ballad when Lieutenant Rzhevsky has a huge crush on and persistently flirts with singer Louise Jermon. Louise's Old Flame Pelymov has to watch it, though Rzhevsky is aware of their past relationship and asks him if he is okay with Rzhevsky hitting on her. Pelymov, determined to forget his love for Louise after their quarrel, assures him he isn't jealous in the slightest, but his expressions say otherwise. It's much harder for Rzhevsky's fiancee Shura, since she is in a Sweet Polly Oliver disguise and Rzhevsky doesn't know it's her (theirs is an Arranged Marriage, and the one time he met her as a woman she trolled him by putting on lots of powder and acting overly girly). She also has to watch the flirting and can't contain her rage, drinking heavily and crying out that she hates actresses and women in general. Things get even more complicated when Louise admires the youthful and passionate "boy" and decides to tease both Rzhevsky and Pelymov by being affectionate towards "him". |

In Luisa Miller, Wurm watches Luisa, on whom he has a Villainous Crush, happily confess her love for Rodolfo and enjoy her birthday feast with him, and afterwards says how the fire of jealousy burned his soul. However, Wurm has an Entitled to Have You attitude towards Luisa and is baffled as to why her father refused to let him marry her unless she loved him back, so that scene is designed to show him as the creepy Stalker with a Crush he is rather than make him sympathetic. | |

In Full Moon, poor Meroko gets this with multiple love interests. As a human, one of the events that drove her to suicide was seeing her best friend kissing the boy she loved. She also overhears Takuto's Anguished Declaration of Love to Mitsuki about halfway through the plot. | |

Victorious: In The Pilot, Jade walked in on awkward-newgirl Tori rubbing coffee off of her boyfriend Beck's shirt. Immediately, she took this as a threat and repeatedly bullied Tori for the rest of the class. Tori finally got her revenge by kissing Beck on stage... but this only made Jade angrier, leaving a grudge that would last for most of the show. | |

At the end of Foam Bath, a devastated Anna watches from afar as Zsolt walks off with his bride and Anna's friend Klára. She had just spent the entire afternoon trying to convince the cowardly Zsolt to marry Klára, inadvertently developing feelings for him, but they just couldn't burst their "bubbles", the social norms and personal issues separating the two of them. She's gotten over it in the Distant Finale. | |

Cruel Summer: One of the bigger points of drama in the show came from a recently-rescued Kate seeing her boyfriend, Jamie, kissing Jeannette... who was the very same girl Kate accused of leaving her with her kidnapper, as well as his ex. Kate bottled this issue up for months, and when she finally confronted him about it, he used gaslighting tactics to dismiss the concerns. This whole ordeal only made her emotional issues worse. | |

In The Snow Maiden, the Snow Maiden has to watch her sweetheart Lel kiss Kupava in front of everyone, after the Tsar tells Lel to pick a girl to kiss in reward for his beautiful song. Later she secretly watches Lel and Kupava declare their love for each other, which leads her to realise she lacks something Kupava has (being a Tragic Ice Character, the Snow Maiden can feel platonic love but has zero concept of passion and sexual relations). | |

In All Dressed in White, Meghan has an extreme case of this. She was secretly in love with her college friend Jeff for years, but she had little choice but to watch him and her best friend Amanda fall in love. She even agreed to be Amanda's bridesmaid at the wedding, never telling her how she felt about Jeff. Laurie eventually finds candid photos from the wedding trip, which include snapshots of Meghan looking longingly at Jeff or glaring in the background while he and Amanda are being Sickeningly Sweethearts with each other. | |

Mick is the victim of this twice. First, Amber wanted to make him jealous to win him back, so she gave Alfie an impromptu kiss during a line-reading of Romeo and Juliet. Mick nearly attacked Alfie over it, despite him only being the recipient of the kiss. Later on, when he came Back for the Finale of season 2 just to talk to his then-girlfriend Mara, he had his heart broken when she wound up kissing Jerome that same night. This was his last appearance in the show, as he was walked off-screen by a sympathetic Alfie. | |

This event cements Dukkar's hatred of Ilyin and the rest of the explorers, and he spends the rest of the film being The Dragon to the murderous, sadistic local shaman. | |

In Brig Scarlet Flamingo, after Joseph has his Love at First Sight moment with Yvonne, he is forced to watch her talking tenderly and kissing with her fiance Jerome. Since he immediately realises she is rich and he at that point is a vagabond who thinks his Glory Days are gone, he doesn't harbour any resentment towards it and, in fact, the sight of the couple prompts him to return Yvonne's engagement ring which he had previously stolen from her in a crowd before actually seeing the girl face to face. | |

Osamake has an interesting case where due to it being a Harem, any of Suehara's Love Interests seeing him "flirt" with another girl is enough to make them jealous, sad, or angry. However, it's more prominent with his childhood friend Kuroha, who dejectedly watches him make a fuss about Shirokusa's hurt foot all throughout episode 9, especially since Shiro is his First Love and her rival. Kuroha admits that seeing them together felt worse than when she rejected him. | |

In The Good Place, both Janet and Eleanor go through this: Janet spent the latter half of Season 1 in a relationship with Jason, which ends when the neighborhood is rebooted in the Season 1 finale. In Season 2, it turns out that despite being rebooted 800 times, Janet still has residual feelings for him, and is secretly upset by him being in love with Tahani. After spending the latter half of Season 3 trying to re-kindle her relationship with Chidi, the actions of Shawn in the last episode force him to undergo a memory wipe. In order to prevent one of Chidi's ex's from ruining the experiment, she is forced to set them up with each other. Chidi has no idea about his relationship with Eleanor, much to the latter's distress. |

Bridgerton: In Season 1, Penelope Featherington often gets jealous whenever she sees Colin Bridgerton courting Marina Thompson. In the final episode of Season 2, she gets jealous again when seeing Colin dancing with Cressida Cowper. In the ending of season 1 episode 3, Simon Basset couldn’t help but stares jealously upon watching Daphne Bridgerton meets and dances with Prince Friedrich, so much that he immediately leaves the room as he couldn’t take it. On the next episode, while cheering for Mondrich in a boxing match, Simon couldn't help but staring jealously at Daphne courting Prince Friedrich. In season 2 episode 5, while promenading and courting Edwina, Anthony Bridgerton glares jealously at Kate Sharma and her seemingly-suitor, Thomas Dorset, having fun on a boat. He eventually comes over trying to upstage Dorset in courting Kate. It doesn't end well. |

Even though Aqua is only dating Akane for pragmatic reasons, it still hurts her when she sees Aqua and Akane do couple stuff. It gets even worse when Ruby, Aqua's sister, meets Akane and immediately calls her "big sister" because she's already convinced that Akane is going to marry her brother. Ruby squeeing over Aqua and Akane's relationship serves as a series of Harsh Word Impact blows on Kana. | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: The main pairing of Oliver Horn and Nanao Hibiya attracts this from several characters. Their friend Katie Aalto has a crush on Oliver and tends to get a little irritable when Nanao acts too clingy (despite their otherwise close friendship). It's nonetheless clear pretty early that she's firmly the Third Wheel, which becomes a significant source of angst as Oliver and Nanao's relationship gets more serious over the years. She's also a little jealous of Oliver's (affectionate but completely platonic) relationship with his cousin Shannon, getting worked up when Shannon greets him with a kiss on the cheek when they run into each other the day after the fight with the garuda. In volume 9, Nanao gets jealous of Oliver's rapproachment with his Stock Shōnen Rival Richard Andrews, and physically attacks him with a Forceful Kiss. This in turn triggers an incident with Oliver's follower Teresa Carste, who crushes hard on him: in volume 10 she tries to get him to kiss her, then when he doesn't realize she wants it on the mouth, she loses her temper and goes out and attacks Nanao—and then has to run away with her tail between her legs because Nanao is so much stronger than she ever thought possible. |

In the Copenhagen production, Fricka breaks down crying at the sight, and even the return of her sister from captivity (which was arranged thanks to Erda's prompting) can't console her at first. In Twilight of the Gods, Brunnhilde is dumbfounded when she sees her adored husband Siegfried happily preparing to marry Gutrune. Siegfried has been brainwashed, but she doesn't know that at the moment. |

In some productions of Eugene Onegin, such as Willy Decker's staging at the Opera de Paris, Prince Gremin inadvertently witnesses the final duet, learning that his adored wife still loves her Old Flame Onegin and will only stay true to Gremin out of duty. His reaction varies from one production to another: since the libretto and the music have no mention of him in this scene, he is always silent, but his face can be sad, impassive or clearly contorted in Tranquil Fury. In Decker’s production, he appears closer to the end of the duet, when Tatiana already makes her decision clear, so he takes it reasonably well and consolingly hugs Tatiana after she bids her final farewell to Onegin. | |

Even though Jondalar immediately ends his affair with Marona and makes it clear he loves Ayla, she's deeply hurt and resentful (especially considering she’s already gone through a lot recently, including a harrowing religious test and a miscarriage, and she's well-aware Marona hates her), and it causes a rift in their marriage that isn't repaired until the end. | |

The Hunchback of Notre Dame uses this trope heavily, as is to be expected of a musical where unrequited love and lust is a major theme (and arguably the central driving force of the plot.) In "Thai Mol Piyas," Frollo watches from the shadows as Esmeralda, the target of his obsession, kisses her Love Interest Phoebus. Later, Quasimodo, who has a much more benign crush on Esmeralda, stumbles across her and Phoebus singing a romantic duet together, causing him to become distraught. | |

The Twilight Saga series runs off of these moments between Bella, The Rival Jacob, and One True Love Edward, with the latter two baiting Bella into such moments by the third book in order to make their romantic claims on her that much more apparent to one another. This peaks in Eclipse when the three have to camp in the woods in the middle of winter and Bella begins to freeze. Edward cannot help since as a vampire, his skin is ice cold. Jacob however runs very warm due to his shapeshifter nature and thus Bella has to share his sleeping bag with him in order to keep warm. The entire chapter that follows is a conversation between Edward and Jacob discussing Jacob's smugness over the situation, their feelings for Bella, and her feelings towards both of them. | |

Gale suffers this in The Hunger Games, when he has to watch his best friend and crush Katniss, kiss Peeta — and eventually become engaged to him — on national television. She's only pretending as a strategy for the Games (and later to placate President Snow to keep her family safe), but that doesn't make it much easier on Gale. In the second book, Katniss takes a moment to try to step into his shoes and envision how she would feel if Gale had gone to the Games instead and ended up pretending to love some other girl. She's blown away by how jealous and angry she becomes just imagining it. | |

In Aladdin, Aladdin has to watch Jasmine flirt with and ultimately kiss Jafar. He knows that she's only doing it to distract Jafar, so he won't notice Aladdin and Abu sneaking into the room to try to save her; nevertheless, his expression shows how clearly uncomfortable he is with what he's seeing. | |

In the Warrior Cats book Sunset, not long after Squirrelflight turns down Ashfur in favor of Brambleclaw, there's a scene where Ashfur notices Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw walking together with their pelts touching, and Leafpool is shaken by the fury in Ashfur's eyes. | |

A particularly weird example in Spectrum where Irina is split into seven copies of herself which are located on different planets and can sense each other's feelings (and get killed off one by one as nature struggles to bring order back). When Martin starts a romance with the fifth Irina, the two other remaining ones can't help but sense her feelings all the time, including when Martin sleeps with her, and go crazy with jealousy. | |

House of Anubis: These moments are common in the series, though they're usually subtle moments of characters misinterpreting a platonic interaction. Some of the more standout examples, however, left the characters feeling hurt for several episodes: The most notable moment in the Nina/Fabian/Joy Love Triangle is when Joy kissed Fabian while disguised as Nina, causing Nina to run off in tears while a confused and distressed Fabian had to run after her. Nina was bitter for several days. As part of an Operation: Jealousy, Eddie spent a lot of time in season 2 flirting with Mara to make Patricia jealous. She usually got angry at these interactions, even halting a Sibuna meeting to shout at them from under the floor to "turn the lights on". Season 3 would then have him spending a lot of time with KT, which again made her jealous, though Character Development eventually made her attempt an I Want My Beloved to Be Happy moment- believing he really wanted to be with KT over her as a result of all these scenes. Eddie himself was on the receiving end of this when he had to watch his rival Ben flirting with her, such as being her partner in a blind trust-exercise. His jealousy made him and Alfie fail the exercise, and put strain on his relationship with Patricia from then on. Mick is the victim of this twice. First, Amber wanted to make him jealous to win him back, so she gave Alfie an impromptu kiss during a line-reading of Romeo and Juliet. Mick nearly attacked Alfie over it, despite him only being the recipient of the kiss. Later on, when he came Back for the Finale of season 2 just to talk to his then-girlfriend Mara, he had his heart broken when she wound up kissing Jerome that same night. This was his last appearance in the show, as he was walked off-screen by a sympathetic Alfie. A rather dark example comes at the end of season 3. Alfie, who was just turned into a sinner, dumped Willow in a cold-blooded Kick the Dog moment. As icing on the cake, he proceeded to flirt with Mara and Joy just seconds later, in front of a heartbroken and sobbing Willow. This moment devastated her for the rest of the season, and he, once turned back to normal, had to give her an apology gift before she even considered taking him back. |

At the end of King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow, Alexander interrupts the wedding of Abdul and Cassima to try and free his beloved Cassima from his evil clutches. When he gets there, though, Cassima not only insists she loves Adbul, but also coldly demands that Alexander get killed for his interruption. Of course, it's actually Adbul's genie in disguise as her, but Alexander is still shaken by it and sadly admits he might've been wrong the whole time. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): In "Like Angels Put in Hell by God", Antoinette Brown is smoking a cigarette outside of her home, upset and quietly shedding tears while looking inside her bedroom window as her lover Lestat de Lioncourt and his boyfriend Louis de Pointe du Lac lose themselves in wild, spur-of-the-moment sex. Both men threw her out from her own house, so Lestat (who was in coitus with Antoinette before Louis broke down her door) is making it very clear to her that he loves Louis more than her. | |

A major plot twist in The Hound of the Baskervilles is when Stapleton goes nuts on seeing Henry Baskerville hit on his sister. This is because she's actually his wife, and despite Sir Henry's infatuation serving his plans he's unable to control himself and very nearly blows his own cover in doing so. | |
