Many love triangle stories end with a resolution where the two characters who are truly in love end up together. However, there are also endings where the love triangle is not fully resolved, leaving the readers or viewers with a sense of ambiguity. This can be seen in some modern stories where the author wants to explore the complexity of relationships rather than provide a clear - cut ending.
Often, one person in the triangle is left heartbroken. For example, in 'Romeo and Juliet', Paris is left out as Romeo and Juliet pursue their love and ultimately die together. In some cases, the main character realizes who they truly love and choose that person. Like in 'Pride and Prejudice' Elizabeth chooses Darcy in the end.
Love triangle stories can end in different ways. Sometimes, all three characters end up going their separate ways, realizing that the situation is too complicated. In other stories, one of the characters sacrifices their love for the sake of the others' happiness. Take 'Wuthering Heights' for instance, Catherine's choices lead to a tragic end for many of the characters involved in the triangle.
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.
They can end with one person making a selfless choice. For example, one of the people in the triangle realizes that their friend really loves the person more and steps aside. Another way is that the person who is the center of the triangle chooses one of the two. Sometimes it's a happy ending where the couple stays together, and the other person moves on.
Often, one person in the love triangle ends up with the main character they are meant to be with. For example, in 'Inuyasha', Inuyasha finally chooses Kagome over Kikyo. Another way is that the character in the middle realizes they don't have romantic feelings for either of the other two in the triangle and decides to be alone or just be friends, like in some less - common storylines.
They often end with one person making a choice. For example, the person at the center of the triangle decides to be with one of the suitors. Or it could end with all parties realizing it's too complicated and walking away.
They can end in different ways. Sometimes, all parties involved realize that the situation is too messy and decide to step back. In other cases, the person at the center of the triangle makes a choice. But then the rejected parties may hold grudges. I knew of a love triangle where the woman chose one man, and the other man became so bitter that he spread rumors about the couple. And in some rare cases, the triangle can turn into a polyamorous relationship if all parties are open to it, but that's not very common.
Often, the protagonist makes a clear choice between the two love interests. For example, in some novels, the girl might realize that one guy has been there for her all along and truly understands her, so she chooses him over the other.
Often, they end with a resolution of some sort. For example, in 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy end up together, while Mr. Wickham is sort of pushed out of the picture. The good - hearted characters usually get their happy endings, while those with bad intentions or who are obstacles in the relationship don't fare as well.
Often, the heroine ends up with the 'right' man. For example, in many cases, the man who truly understands her and has a deeper connection wins her heart in the end. So, if there's a rakish character involved in the love triangle, she usually chooses the more honorable and loving one.
Often, the protagonist chooses one of the love interests. For example, in 'Twilight', Bella chooses Edward. This is a common ending as it resolves the central conflict of the love triangle.
Often, it ends with the mystery remaining unsolved. The disappearances continue to baffle the characters in the story, leaving them with a sense of fear and wonder about the Bermuda Triangle.
