Exactly. Writers seem to like to establish couples, then break them up. Which I suppose gives drama to storylines., but it just annoys fans.

TV writers often don't seem to know how to write character-developing conflict for an in-love, intact couple. But if each party of a couple is interesting as an individual, and together their dynamic ultimately inspires the other person to grow and change -- and brings out different aspects of each other -- organic story arcs galore. Tom and B'Elanna definitely have that chemistry and conflicts that arise naturally from who they are and, most importantly, the love to work through them.
