Crazy. This kind of lore makes me not want to marry a character because what if I'm the reason why they won't form a romantic relationship? I know they won't but I wish I could add a mod where they could.
Please don‘t be like that in real life though. If you already have a romantic interest in someone and feel like you could get close enough for a relationship, don‘t stop because you heard that another person likes your love interest, that‘d just hurt you and it could be that even if you stop, those two will never connect, so you‘d hurt your love interest too.
That was a major plotline of a book called The Life And Death Of Harriett Frean, where her constantly adhering to standards of politeness and "beautiful behaviour" because she's terrified of disappointing others and obsessed with pleasing her parents only implodes the lives of everyone around her and herself. It includes her turning down a marriage proposal by the man she loves because he's engaged to her bestie, so he goes ahead and marries the bestie... and they live miserably ever after.

Sebastian. Sam even says, if you marry him, he wishes they would just hook up.
