I never looked at those movies like that or had that problem. But then again I’m more invested in romance movies that explore “the nature of human relationships” more than ones with a strict positive outlook on romantic expectations. Some of my favorites are Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind (2004), Her (2013), Chungking Express (1994), and the Before Trilogy (Before Sunrise etc.). I’ve also been meaning to watch Past Lives (2023), but it is an interesting connection that most of those films all sort of veer into that territory your describing in the initial half of your post. But I do also enjoy enduring romances like you describe in the later half, I recommend the movie Loving (2016) if you’re looking for something in that vein. It’s based on a real and historically significant romance (at least for the US).

I'm trying to enjoy a love story or movie but then they romanticize cheating, for example the notebook n brokeback mountain at first they're good but later on I lost interest in the story once I find the emotional cheating.
Titanic is okay, rose was basically in an arranged marriage with that old man and they never had real emotional feelings for each other.
This is why I prefer Horimiya it's all just fluff but shows every obstacle in a relationship and still manages to get through it together.
People romanticizing this is weird, why are these type of romance movies popular?
