Often, they end happily with the couple getting married or at least being together in a committed relationship. It gives the readers a sense of satisfaction after following their journey full of trials and tribulations.
In some cases, the ending is left open - ended. This makes the readers think and imagine what could happen next. It could be that the couple is at a crossroads in their relationship and the author wants the readers to decide their fate based on their own understanding of the story.
Some end bittersweetly. Maybe the couple realizes that they are better off apart due to various reasons like irreconcilable differences in their future plans. For instance, one wants to pursue a career in a far - off place and the other can't leave their family. So they part ways with a heavy heart.
Some end happily. For example, the teacher and student might find a way to be together after overcoming all the difficulties, like in the story where they both move to a new place where their relationship is accepted.
Some stories end with the relationship evolving into a more platonic one. The initial romantic feelings are redirected into a mentorship or a strong friendship. This allows the characters to still have a positive connection without crossing the ethical boundaries. They learn to respect the roles and boundaries that society and the educational system have set. In these endings, there is usually a lot of character growth as they come to terms with their inappropriate feelings at first.
However, many end bittersweet. For example, in 'The Lost Chance', they realize that their relationship can't really work out in the real world due to various reasons like society's norms and their own responsibilities. So they part ways but with a lot of memories and lessons learned.
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, they end with a happy reunion. The long - lost daughter finally meets her king father again, and there are tears of joy. The kingdom may also celebrate this momentous occasion.
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.
Often, they end happily. Since they started as best friends, they already have a strong bond, and in the end, they usually live happily ever after, perhaps with a growing family or achieving their dreams together.
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.
