2. Cyclops And Emma Frost

After Cyclops was possessed by Apocalypse, Scott's mind was left rattled, causing him to grow distant from his friends and teammates. Even though Jean tried to reconnect with him, Cyke pushed her away and refused to sleep with her for five months.

Out of frustration, Scott asked for counsel from Emma Frost, who was a trained therapist. Using her telepathy, Emma created a psychic relationship with Scott where they broke down all his insecurities.

As she delved into his psyche, she was able to manipulate Scott to have a telepathic affair with her. Because their intimacy was non-physical, Scott assumed Jean would be none-the-wiser. But, since Jean is pretty much the most powerful telepath in the universe, she used her powers to peer into Scott's mind and discovered the affair.

When Jean died shortly after, the X-Men naturally assumed Scott would put an end to his fling with Emma out of respect to his late wife. However, it was at this point where the two developed a full-time relationship, where Scott showed little remorse for his actions, much to the dismay of his teammates.
