See, the problem here is that you are trying to portray a breakup, effectively. This can be meaningful, but it is easy for your entire premise to be rejected just because the audience might not want to watch a breakup happen.
Only a small group of people watch to watch a loving relationship fall apart leading to murder and despair. Everyone else would rather spend their money elsewhere. You could be telling the best story in the world, but if your tale leads to uncomfortablwe places people have the right to walk out.
Love stories are popular because it feels good to watch. Inverting it have the inverted effect. There is a market, it just isn't very large.
