Community: 10 Best Relationships

10. Shirley And Andre

Just like Britta's skepticism when Andre miraculously reintegrates himself back into Shirley's life, wooing her with a nostalgic song from their past, something feels off from the outset. As a result, we're not entirely smitten by his theatrically charged inauguration to the series. Unlike Shirley, who willingly accepts the metaphorical POS with little hesitation.

After sleeping with a stripper and bringing their marriage to the imminent end of a familiar but fractious road, we automatically take a disliking to him based on this alone. Considering we initially only ever hear about this - and the man in question - until he materialises in season 2, ready to reignite the dormant flame he put out when he walked out, it's justified to assume he's not the greatest spouse one could ask for.

Things look like they're in an extreme upheaval for Shirley and Andre when he proposes once again and announces himself as a caring, although fragmented, companion.

That is, until he unceremoniously and quite unexpectedly and flagrantly leaves Shirley without so much as an ostensible explanation in season 5, leaving Shirley devastated, reeling in her sadness and completely disregarding her feelings, leaving her to raise two children alone.
