I remember my first 'ship here in TWD. Lasted all of three posts. She stole his ride and then got ripped to shreds by dead people. He was devastated. Afterwards, there was another 'ship that was discussed, a couple of meaningful IC discussions. Maybe after he deals emotionally with the death, they make it official. Then she gets shot, an hour of IC time later.
Then more people died. Lots more. If anyone got close to him, either emotionally or just proximity, they got shot or gnawed on by zombies. Eventually, it was merely called The Curse and is driving him slowly insane.
The good news is, he's single! And in charge. Has a nice car, too.
