** It should be somewhat noted that it's implied she entrusted the children to the care of a trusted nurse.

* In Elmer Rice's play ''Street Scene'', Rose ultimately leaves Sam because, after what happened to her mother and her father, she decides that people shouldn't belong to anyone but themselves; "loving and belonging aren't the same thing," she explains. She tries to console him that perhaps they can be together again some time, when they're older and understand themselves better, to little avail.
* In {{Chicago}}, one of the girls in the "Cell Block Tango" number mentions how her lover, Al Lischitz, would go out every night looking for himself. "And on the way he found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary...and [[BiTheWay Irving]]!"

* In the second ''High School Musical'', Gabriella decides she needs to do this, as she so eloquently sums up in song. She comes back, though.

* The first season finale of ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated has [[spoiler:Fred [[BreakTheCutie find out that]] [[YoureNotMyFather Mayor Jones isn't his real father and took him from his real parents, Brad and Judy of the original Mystery Incorporated,]] [[ScoobyDoobyHoax to protect the Treasure of Crystal Cove]]. He then breaks up his engagement with Daphne to find his real parents, not long after he stopped being so ObliviousToLove.]] Not bad for a ScoobyDoo show, am I right?

* Not many would question Nora's decision to leave her husband after he shows his true colours in Ibsen's ''A DollsHouse.'' After subservient and sweet-natured Nora forges a signature to save her husband - her one and only show of strength up until this point - he suddenly turns on her when this "deception" is revealed. As she realises that he will stop loving her if she is anything other than a "doll" for him, she decides to leave in order to develop her own personality. Less sympathetic, though, is her decision to abandon her children into the bargain. ValuesDissonance may play a part here - at the time it was written, it would probably be extremely difficult for a "rogue" wife to get custody of her children. However, Nora's final speech suggests that even if it were possible to keep the children, she wouldn't even try.

* Any game with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters will generally have one of them go on a journey to find themselves in the epilogue. Examples include the {Suikoden} series and VandalHearts.

** It's an especially big WallBanger, because we never find out where he went or what he did while there, or what everyone else has been up to while he's gone. It looked like they were going to ''try'' to do a sequel, but for some reason never did, so it's just a CliffHanger.
