Every year, Hollywood churns out a slew of romantic comedies to bring in audiences who can’t get enough of seeing characters fall in love on the big screen. On top of that, many classic romantic comedies are so good that people watch them over and over again. While it is wonderful that people have gotten so much enjoyment out of movies like that, they do have one negative consequence, they give some people unrealistic expectations.

In reality, however, a lot of couples who are great together have to overcome a lot of obstacles to their relationship and that holds true when it comes to celebrity pairings as well. For example, some celebrity couples have to deal with fans telling them to tone the PDA. On top of that, Marvel Cinematic Universe star Michael B.
