10 Heart-Breaking TV Break-Ups That You'll Never Forget

5. Robb & Talisa €“ Game Of Thrones

Now this article didn€™t mention anything about being totally exclusive to sitcoms or romantic comedies, and couples don€™t just break up because of they€™re sick of the sight of each other. Especially in Westeros. By now, you should all be well-versed in the events of the infamous Red Wedding, in which the Stark family were systematically slaughtered by the traitorous Walter Frey and Roose Bolton. A shocking and distressing scene, sure, but there was one additional detail that the show added that wasn€™t present in the books €“ the death of Robb Stark€™s heavily pregnant wife, Talisa. Robb Stark learnt the consequences of choosing love over strategy the hard way. The first casualties of the Red Wedding were the incredibly graphic and brutal murders of Talisa and her unborn child. What makes it even worse to watch is the fact that we were treated to a lovely bit of dialogue about 2 minutes beforehand about what the proud parents were going to call their new born child (it was Eddard, by the way €“ as if it couldn€™t get any worse). An absolutely horrifying scene in its own right but the fact that it tore apart Game of Thrones€™ most stable and likable couple took it to another level of heartbreak.
