13. Jim and Karen (The Office)

On paper, Jim and Karen seemed like the perfect couple. They had fun together, shared inside jokes, and were a strong team at work. Unfortunately, Jim’s lingering feelings for Pam loomed over their relationship like an unwelcome third wheel. While Karen was all in, Jim’s half-hearted commitment turned their chemistry into a slow-burn heartbreak. Watching Karen unknowingly invest in a relationship where she was always second-best was uncomfortable at best and a stark reminder that no one deserves to be someone else’s fallback plan.
