I have an idea. it’s a little revolutionary and the world might not be ready for it but hear me out. a man & a woman meet. the man acts rude and arrogant and the woman dislikes him for it. and then the woman continues to dislike him throughout the entirety of the work of fiction in question and never falls in love with him and they never get married, not even a little bit. thank you for your time

later on after many events and tribulations they meet again. and the man has changed! he has learned lessons in humility & how not to be a terrible person! he presents his growth to the woman and she says “wow, good for you, I’m glad you improved as a person. good job! hope I can do as well!” & then they continue to not get married even slightly

Eventually the woman is getting married and the man shows up. he doesnt try to stop the marriage. he brings his girlfriend as a +1 and the two couples remain on good terms with a platonic friendship full of understanding. everyone grows to be a better person and live for themselves while respecting the lives of those around them.
