Those instances are usually midway turning points that end with MC being disillusioned, giving up, and falling out of his expectations (usually ends with the other bitches advancing when there's more than just 1 heroine), until MC sees FeMC again and ends rekindling that flame because she does one or 2 genuine display of affection.
In my country there was a telenovela where the MC (whose actor became infamous for always having a scene where he has a destructive melty in all the productions he plays the main role), after realizing "he was in love with a woman who didn't exist", has an absolute melty, desteoys everything around him, screams as if he was turning Super Saiyajin bc he breaks his leg after kicking a flipped sofa and then he loses sight of himself he still ends with her after other shit happening tho
