| Not movies, but I’d say Seinfeld and Arrested Development fit this. |

They were not unhappy. The movie had the dream sequence of what would have happened if they stayed together but who knows if that’s true. They each realized their professional dreams and personal, although not with each other. And more to the point, they didn’t behave badly and end up miserable, as the OP asks. |

They were not happy at the end. |

How do you know Seb achieved his personal dreams? He looked absolutely devastated when he saw her again. Why the long pause before choosing their song if he was happy? There’s no indication he has a wife and child. |
