Veeky Forums, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I just want to vent.
We're playing D&D, and my character (a Ranger) has had a subplot where he was romancing a female Paladin he knew from a long time ago. The idea is that she lived in the same village as him, and she happened to be the group's liasion in the Border Marches area the campaign takes in. It's a detail from my PC's backstory, and the GM worked it in after discussion at charagen.
The thing is, in the most recent session, things went a bit wrong.
My PC is trying to charm this girl, and she's semi-reciprocating, but she didn't only show interest in my PC. She also flirted with the party's Sorcerer quite a bit, and waved off my PC's concerns as 'No, there's nothing between us, it's just silly'.
So this session, she tells my PC that her family has arranged for her to meet her fiancee. As it turns out, with her rank in the Order, they're nobility now and they want her to marry advantageously. My PC asks if she minds, and she says she doesn't, really. She's sure they'll pick someone she'd like. Then he asks about 'us', and she says that it can't possibly happen, now. She has responsibilities.
Obviously, I'm a bit upset about it at this point, but we go along to the meeting anyway. It turns out her fiancee-to-be is a knightly Fighter, of noble blood, and basically quite powerful himself. They hit it off really well, and there's actual chemistry between them.
At this point, my PC is obviously upset. But that guy is landed nobility, and he's clearly no slouch himself.
OOC, I ask the GM where this is going, and he says "Well, she's probably going to marry her fiancee eventually". When I ask him about the subplot, he says "I brought in the NPC, but the plot develops as the campaign does. Nothing's set in stone." He doesn't say anything about a 'way out'.
