I'm so fond of being fed up with touching, lovely, hipster, indie love stories. However. I realize that it used to be there was no model for nontraditional (or at least normal, not super-romantic) relationships. It used to be a lot harder to look at film love stories. I mean comprehend them as being realistic.
That said, it's a lot more difficult than Buffy makes it seem to be a ginger lesbian witch in a loving committed relationship. Up 'til about season 6 anyway.
