ChiKat, would War of the Roses work for your purposes? The wife has a parallel downfall, but she's definitely the cause of the husband's ruin.

Romeo and Juliet might be a way to go. Of course both die in the end, but earlier on it has Romeo becoming a wanted man for killing his love's cousin...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wolverine is totally marriage material.

Cheek kissy Logan is a bit much. But I admit to having not paid that much attention to what he was like with Lilly. Like you, msbelle, protector Logan makes me all weak. Mrowwr.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, and Superman, in the second movie. He looses his powers once he boinks Louis Lane.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

F'em all is what I say.

Like I need more fictional crushes.

What are some pop culture/film/tv/literary examples of marriage being a physical, spiritual, or career death to a man?

The Bickersons, one of the most mean-spirited unfunny comics ever.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What are some pop culture/film/tv/literary examples of marriage being a physical, spiritual, or career death to a man? I can think of the movie Black Widow. Any other thoughts?

Well, Lady Macbeth pushes Macbeth into his murderous behavior, which is a temporary gain but permanent loss later on....

I still think that's one of the most insane plot developments I've ever seen. The Kryptonians didn't have super powers on their own world, why would they have rules about having to give them up for sex with an alien? Super powers included strength, invulnerability, and flight, not getting unicorns to lay their heads in his lap!

Oh! Also, the comic Andy Capp.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, and Samson. He hooks up with a chick, and the bitch cuts his hair.

Great example. Just not quite modern enough.

War of the Roses? That may work.

Shakespeare, again, not quite modern enough. Even Madame Bovary is probably too old, but I'm gonna use it anyway.

Bickersons? Never heard of it...need to go Google.
