10 Once-Lovable TV Characters Who Became Completely Repulsive

By themselves, Jim and Pam were two of the biggest reasons to tune into the show every week and watch this delightful workplace comedy. After a few seasons of typical will they/won't they shenanigans, though, the two commenced their love affair and slow walk to the altar.

Once news broke of their couples status, it became Jim and Pam against the world, with every employee of Dunder-Mifflin starting to turn on them for some damn reason. (Maybe they were jealous of their collective hotness?)

Almost as soon as they tied the knot and officially became "The Halperts," however, most of their charm and cuteness fell away to reveal the haggard, occasionally despicable core slowly melting away everything we'd come to love about the two lovebirds. All of a sudden, we were left wondering how their officemates didn't lash out at them more.

They became insanely self-centered, frequently playing on people's sympathies to get their way, even if it meant using their child to do so.

But they also began acting excessively terrible to each other, especially once Jim tries to break away from the job he's always hated and start his own sports marketing company. Jim suddenly decides to start hiding major life decisions from his wife, while Pam opts for an unnatural brand of passive aggression.

Is it a realistic portrayal of a relationship? Maybe. It's also extremely annoying to sit through.
