The Vampire Diaries is brimming with romance. While the love triangle between Stefan, Elena, and Damon made up the core of the show, Stefan/Elena and Damon/Elena were far from the only couples to attract fan love. In fact, throughout the show's eight seasons, each character had their fair share of relationships. This resulted in dozens of couples, all of whom had their own shippers.

Yet, each of the relationships on The Vampire Diaries wasn’t equally successful. And while the characters committed wholeheartedly to those couplings, the length of time they stayed together was highly variable.
