It's Thanksgiving. A day to be thankful for everything that you have. A day to appreciate the people in your life. If you are currently mad at your spouse just remember that life could be a whole lot worse and you could be in a relationship that is way more toxic, but honestly if you can relate to these fictional movie couples it might be time to rethink that relationship that you got going on (but think about that tomorrow because today is all about turkey and stuffing and a lot of gravy).

Everyone normally sits around and watches movies about perfect couples, and it makes you sad to think that your relationship will never be that good. The great thing about that is knowing that those perfect couples aren't real, so today you should sit down and think about why your relationship is great instead of dwelling on the bad things, because Thanksgiving is for food and resting and not arguing, and it's also a day to appreciate what you've got. To make it easier for you, we have put together a list of movie couples that are seriously terrible. They are the worst and should make you feel better about whatever situation you're in. Here are 12 relationships that will make you thankful for your boyfriend/girlfriend this Thanksgiving.

1. Blue Valentine

Yeah, it's fun for like a day until Rose can't move her a*s over on the giant wooden door and Jack dies. Also, telling him you'll never let go and then letting go of his hand one minute later is pretty rude.
