| Second-Act Breakup | comment |
Alice and Bob are the two subjects of a rom-com. They've met in a manner most cute, had a few laughs, done an obligatory Falling-in-Love Montage and look all set to book the church/synagogue/registry office/volcano/whatever. Then, about 60 minutes into the 90-minute movie, there's a sudden wacky misunderstanding where one of them is Mistaken for Cheating. Or Alice realizes her enemies will come after Bob to get to her, and she has to Break His Heart to Save Him. Or The Bet Bob had made that he was using Alice to fulfill is revealed to her. Or maybe they just have a sudden disagreement in their taste of music and both storm off in a huff. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Cue about 20 minutes of moping and trying to move on before they both realise that all they want to do is wait for the other to get out of the bathroom (or maybe join them in there) for the rest of their lives. Depending on the circumstances of the breakup, one person (usually Bob) may need to grovel before he can be forgiven. Then cue the tearful reunion. Contrast with Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure. Compare with Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario and Third-Act Misunderstanding. |

Fushigi Yuugi pulls out one of these every ten episodes. At least. In a 52-episode series. | |

Happens in Back to the Future Part III between Doc Brown and old west schoolteacher Clara Clayton. Notable as its part of a science-fiction comedy movie trilogy that doesn't normally dwell on such things, and that despite the breakup happening over a misunderstanding, no one was really at fault — it's just really hard for someone living in the old west to believe someone who tells them he's a time-traveller from a hundred years in the future. | |

Sailor Moon features a second-season break-up when Mamoru has prophetic dreams that compel him to leave Usagi for her own safety. They only get back together in the last few episodes. | |
