In real life a lot of the things that happen in these shows don't. People do not face eternal love traingles. Couple have problems in marriages that do not stem from another man or another woman. So if they have to be realisitic, let them show realism in its every realm. Why claim to show eternal love and show all this crap? Btw, eternal love stories may be few and far between but are not impossible to find. I once read that a couple met after 22 years of separation. They were to get married to each other but were seprated by war. Even after all those years they remained true to each other's memory although each presumed the other was dead. After they met quite by chance they reunited.
