I don't believe in the "one." Every romance is different, but that doesn't mean the next one can't be just as epic and amazing as the previous one. When someone's spouse dies and they marry someone else, there is no reason that second romance can't be just as great, fulfilling, and awesome as the first.

So no, people don't have just one "the one" they are fated to meet and they can't ever have another great romance with anyone else. I hate that trope.

You are talking about real life. OP is talking about fiction, in which "The One" is a narrative construct upheld by some texts.

OP is saying that within a narrative where "the one" is treated as real, it's really annoying when the writers get fickle, decide to shift the focus from A/B to A/C, and then start treating A/C like the be-all-end-all.

I agree with OP. In real life there is no such things as "the one." It's possible to only love one person, but that's not fate, that's just how it worked out. However, fiction can do what it wants. If fiction wants two characters to be "the one" for each other, it can do that.
