The thing I DO NOT LIKE about this trope is that the authors almost always make the boyfriend extremely unlikable, with barely any redeemable qualities. Like, why can´t the boyfriend be polite and understanding, accepting the break-up situation instead of being rude, cursing the female main character? The boyfriend being rude and unable to accept his girlfriend breaking up with him is OVERUSED.
It does not apply when she chooses his father just because, but in the situations where their relationship just does not work.
