TV love triangles have such a way of alienating people and bringing out anger. In general, many people don't like love triangles, and while they bring drama, they can also drag out a story, which makes it frustrating to watch. Some love triangles also don't make sense. But what's worse than a strange love triangle? One that ends with the wrong pairing.

There is nothing worse than investing years in a television show, only to be let down at the end when your favorite character chooses the wrong love interest. TV love triangles aren't always bad because of the pairing, though. Sometimes, it's for the best that all characters grow and part ways.

Although this article only touches on TV love triangles, some of the best have occurred in films. After you're done with this article, check out the 30 greatest love triangles in film history.

Some love triangles on our list are very polarizing. Not everyone believes the love story was ever there. For instance, some fans of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" hate that Aang and Katara end up together and instead root for Zuko. The creators swear they never intended for a love triangle to form but that didn't stop viewers from feeling crushed by the ending.

To compile this list, 24/7 Tempo reviewed and scoured the internet for entertainment and lifestyle content. Websites used to write this list include Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, Reddit, and Entertainment Weekly. Since this topic is open to interpretation, 24/7 Tempo took a few creative liberties when listing these 22 TV love triangles that should have ended differently.
