we know I love you I love you too more
than I've ever loved any but what if
that's the only thing we have in common
breaking up is hard to do welcome to Ms
mojo and today we'll be counting down
our picks for the top 10 TV couple
breakup scenes so what does it mean
Howie yeah
for this list we're taking a look at the
most memorable TV moments in which a
relationship comes to an end some of
these couples may get back together
later on but all of these break up
scenes remain heartbreaking nonetheless
I'm up there waiting free to come down
the aisle and I know you don't want to
come also a spoiler alert it's probably
called for number 10 Dylan McKay and
Brenda Walsh Beverly Hills 90210 I have
an announcement to make
what is it Dylan and I broke up last
night love begins to blossom between
these two high school students during
the first season of this iconic teen
drama I like your bed I mean your bike
oh well thank you hop on their
relationship faces a major hurdle when
Brenda fears that she may be pregnant
Kelly can't you ever something about
guys for one second I mean there is more
to life sounds like it's that time of
the month well it is and it isn't if you
know what I mean what are you talking
about I'm five days late although it
turns out she isn't Brenda feels that
things are moving too fast and breaks
things off with Dylan I just don't know
what we're about like things are having
too much too fast
I think we need to stop seeing each
other at least for a while for the next
few years it appears that the young
couple may potentially get back together
however any hope for their
reconciliation is shattered when Dylan
has an affair with Kelly
Brenda's best friend as you can probably
guess Brenda doesn't take the news well
at a stake is that what you think this
is about Dylan I don't think so look I
hate you both never talk to me again
number 9 Ted Mosby and Robin Scherbatsky
How I Met Your Mother
well if we'd actually moved in together
all my stuff will be here but we didn't
from its pilot episode this sitcom
established that Robin wouldn't be the
mother of Ted's children because that
kids is the true story of how I met your
aunt Robin aunt Robin I thought this was
how you met mom despite wanting
different things out of life Ted and
Robin entered a committed relationship
for a whole season nevertheless although
the audience knew this wouldn't last
there's no denying these two characters
shared marvelous chemistry watching them
inevitably break up made us feel bluer
than the French horn we stole a blue
French horn for me I would have stolen
you a whole Orchestra Ted and Robin
would eventually rekindle their romance
in the series finale by that point
however we were all kind of rooting for
Ted to live happily ever after with the
mother honey most some time
just
hi number eight Mindy Lahiri and Danny
Castellano the Mindy project
Danny why did you kiss me Danny why did
you even start this Mindy views her life
as if it were a romantic comedy of
course no rom-com would be complete
without a tear-jerking breakup okay yeah
I think I think you're right we should
call it off wait wait what just as they
start to address their feelings for each
other
Danny informs Mindy that he wants to
keep their relationship as secret Mindy
gives Danny and ultimatum they can
either become a real couple or call
things off this backfires as Danny
doesn't want to ruin their friendship I
need to have you in my life I have to
have you yeah we've all heard that one
before fortunately it doesn't take too
long for Danny and Mindy to finally
reconcile at the top of the Empire State
Building borrowing from the classic
rom-com Sleepless in Seattle in true
Mindy fashion we're just racing I
thought I lost you shut up shut up what
did you if you kind of stupid place
because you love it - I love you
number seven Seth Cohen and summer
Roberts The OC breaking up with me yes
sorry I really am I feel it's for the
best
what I only unbroke up with you so that
I could find out why you were breaking
up with me in the first place
I guess now you'll never know Seth and
summer were easily everyone's favorite
couple on the OC making this breakup
especially painful to endure Cohen if
you don't love me I promise I will go to
brown by myself and I will be cold and
miserable and alone
I will never bother you again after
summer gets into brown she decides to
stay behind with Seth who got rejected
only wanting the best for his girlfriend
Seth breaks up with summer so she can
move on to greater things even after
summer makes a grand romantic gesture
Seth
still insists that he doesn't love her
anymore I don't look anymore while Seth
had good intentions lying to summer
remains one of his most debatable
choices I was 18 I think college should
come for
not if your what's the one you think you
should be with like rubber B would you
know who really knows I've an ad I do at
least the truth comes out in time and
that you get their happy ending start to
cut times it won't ever fear minds
public J number six Aria Montgomery and
Ezra Fitz Pretty Little Liars because I
know that once I say what I'm about to
say I know that there's no taking it
back
sharing an on-again off-again
relationship since the first episode of
Pretty Little Liars Aria and Ezra's
romance has been a true emotional roller
coaster trying to make this work for a
long time and and right what and and as
much as we love each other I think we
are deluding ourselves into believing
that it can with Aria leaving for
college towards the end of season five
the couple comes to a mutual decision to
make a clean break I think that when I
go away to college I should be single
the end of as Rhea left shippers
everywhere is stricken with grief at the
same time their breakup proved to be
surprisingly identifiable it also
exemplified Arya's growth leaving high
school behind and becoming an adult
besides we have a feeling that things
aren't entirely over between these two
just yet I want the entire world to know
who you really are
you were compassionate sensitive you're
kind number five Joey Potter and Pacey
Witter Dawson's Creek so I had to me
this one question cuz this is what I've
been wanting to ask you Joe why are you
with me see why are you with me cuz I
don't know why I'm still with you as far
as we're concerned Joey
Pacey and Dawson are still the ultimate
TV love triangle Joey would eventually
choose team Pacey but their relationship
wasn't smooth sailing from there on with
college on the horizon Pacey starts to
fear that he's not good enough for Joey
he unleashes his insecurities in the
middle of senior prom seriously rocking
the boat we are not trapped on this boat
you and I are trapped in this
relationship I can't take it anymore
Joey when I'm with you I feel like I'm
nothing infuriated by her boyfriends
public outburst Joey tells him to go to
hell and a band
the ship you can go to hell this might
have given some hope to those who were
champion team Dawson in the end though
Joey and Pacey rain as the creeks
definitive couple I want to be with
someone who makes you feel like I feel
when I'm with you so I guess the point
of this long run-on sentence that's been
the last 10 years of our lives it's just
that the simple act of being in love
with you is enough for me number four
Cristina Yang and Preston Burke Grey's
Anatomy I'm ready I'm fine I have Merida
talk me down really I'm fine
go go go I'll be right behind you I'm
sorry
although Callie and Arizona's breakup is
hard if you get on that plane you go
without me we are done do you hear me we
are over the end of Christina and
presidents relationship was an even
bigger bombshell I scrubbed in in the
vows were on my hand I swept off my pals
oh okay um okay hello I swear I scrub
off my vows okay I can't do this it was
a rocky road to the altar for this
couple and their nuptials didn't exactly
go off without a hitch
seeing that his apprehensive bride
clearly isn't ready for marriage
Burke calls off their wedding of course
the real reason was because actor Isaiah
Washington got fired we have been
through a lot and everybody else turns
down unable to breathe in her dress
Christina is left with a broken heart
that can't be mended through modern
medicine
while her romance with Preston wasn't
built to last
Christina's friendship with Meredith
would remain unbreakable
number three Buffy Summers and Angel
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I've been thinking about our future
Buffy and Angel made for a great team
and an even greater power couple
seeing how one is an ageless vampire and
the other is the Vampire Slayer though
their relationship naturally had its
complications you deserve more deserve
something outside of demons and darkness
knowing that he'll only cause Buffy more
pain angel makes the difficult decision
to break up with her and move away Buffy
can't believe this news and the audience
is just as crushed but hey at least
angel is now free to pursue his own
spin-off series so when he gets a soul
back for the second time he figured hey
he can't be anywhere near young miss
puppy toys without endangering the boat
so what does he do
he takes off both of their shows
concluded without a romantic
reconciliation but we're keeping our
fingers crossed that Buffy and Angel end
up together in the comics
it's cluttering hands represent
friendship the crown represents loyalty
and the heart
you know
number two Carrie Bradshaw and Aidan
Shaw Sex in the City look at me
look at me before we make a huge mistake
while Carrie and mr. big split up
numerous times it was her second breakup
with Aidan the left us bawling Aidan
you're pushing me well maybe you need to
be pushed what's the big deal it's just
a stupid piece of paper if it's just a
stupid piece of paper then why do we
need it after she accepted Aidan's
marriage proposal it looked like Carrie
Bradshaw was officially spoken for
alas their engagement would only last a
couple episodes where Aidan is 100%
ready for marriage
Carrie is unsure she'll ever be ready to
tie the knot this isn't about you I'm
not ready for marriage well I am it
doesn't help that Aidan could never
fully trust Carrie after her affair
unable to reach a compromise their
relationship comes to a bitter end I'm
going to sleep in the other apartment
yeah
for tonight well at least it's better
than getting broken up with via post a
note before we get to our top pick here
are a few honorable mentions I need some
time to take a step back and reevaluate
our situation
oh I hope you understand you said you
would stand by me through anything
this Blair is anything I didn't thought
that the worst thing you would ever do
would be to me it's over no you can't
say that you can't just say that it's
over it's not over you can't just decide
that it's over I'm in this too you know
and I'm not gonna let it be over you
said be ready now or never
I'm ready now but that you needed to see
her to test how you felt about me I
don't forgive no no you told me to see
her Topanga you told me to see how I
felt we go days without having a
meaningful conversation and I used to
miss you so much when that happened but
it never seemed like you missed me
number one Ross Geller and Rachel Greene
friends I didn't think there was a
relationship to jeopardize I thought we
were broken up we were on a break but
for all I knew what could last forever
that to me is a break up while Ross and
Rachel's break up stands out as one of
the most dramatic moments on friends it
also incorporated a fair deal of humor
to balance things out
should we do something yeah never cheat
on Rachel part of it derives from
Rachel's animosity towards Ross after
learning he slept with another woman
get away from you is a mistake I made a
mistake okay a mistake what were you
trying to put it in her purse we also
get some strong comedy from the rest of
the cast who have been trapped inside a
neighboring bedroom ultimately however
the fight works up to a devastating
conclusion in which Rachel tells Ross
it's over just can't be it then how come
it is several years later the two
finally sorted their feelings out in the
series finale for the record though we
still don't know if they were on a break
or not we were on a break oh my god if
you say that one more time I'm gonna
break up with you do you agree with our
list
