How do Hallmark love stories usually end?

Some love stories end in a more bittersweet way. The couple may part ways, but they have grown and learned from the relationship. They might still have love for each other, but they realize that they are better off apart for various reasons, such as different life goals or personal growth directions.

They often end happily, with the couple getting together. For example, in many classic romances, the two lovers overcome all the difficulties and start a new life together.

Often, one person makes a choice. For example, in some stories, the female lead chooses the guy who she realizes truly loves her and has her best interests at heart.

Courtship love stories can end in different ways. Some end happily, like when the couple gets married and lives happily ever after, such as in the story of Cinderella and her prince. Others may end sadly, for example, if one of the lovers dies during the courtship or if external factors like family disapproval can't be overcome. Just like in 'Romeo and Juliet' where they both die because of their families' feud.

Cursed love stories can also end with the destruction of the lovers themselves. In 'Romeo and Juliet', they both took their own lives rather than live without each other. Their love was so strong but the curse of their families' enmity was too much to overcome. And in some cases, like 'Wuthering Heights', the curse extends beyond the lovers' lifetimes and affects future generations with pain and suffering.

Often they end in tragedy. For example, in 'Romeo and Juliet', which has elements of a dark love story, they both die. Their love is doomed by the feud between their families.

Often, common love stories end happily with the couple getting married or living together in a committed relationship. They might have overcome some difficulties, like misunderstandings or family opposition, and finally are able to be together in harmony.

Many opera love stories end sadly. Take 'La bohème' for instance. Mimì dies at the end, leaving Rodolfo heartbroken. However, some can have bittersweet endings. In 'Madama Butterfly', Butterfly's unrequited love ends in her suicide, which is a very tragic end, but it also shows the depth of her love. Some operas might also have more positive endings, but they are less common compared to the tragic ones.

Some animation love stories end bittersweetly. In 'A Silent Voice', Shoya and Shoko's relationship is complex. They have a history of bullying and redemption. In the end, while they don't have a traditional 'happily ever after' in the sense of a perfect relationship, they have a new beginning of understanding and connection, which is a different kind of positive ending.

Western love stories often have diverse endings. For example, in 'Sense and Sensibility', the sisters find love in the end, which is a positive conclusion. However, in 'Gone with the Wind', Scarlett loses Rhett in the end, which is a rather sad ending. There are also stories where the ending is open - ended, leaving the readers to imagine what might happen to the lovers, like in some modern romantic novels.
