Everyone loves a good love story, and there have been plenty of couples to root for on television in recent years. The problem is, as the series progresses, writers and creators have to find different ways to stir the pot and tempt the beloved character's fates in order to keep audiences coming back week after week.
Cheating seems to be the most popular way a show breaks up a fan favorite couple or throws a wrench in the storyline. No matter what show it is, when viewers are rooting for a couple and someone strays, it is heartbreaking to watch.

Were they on a break or were they not on a break? Does it really matter? When Rachel finds out that Ross slept with the copy girl just a few hours after they had a big fight and she said she wanted to break things off, she was devastated.
