Daredevil and Karen Page. My difficulty is that I don't read current comics enough to be sure a long separated couple is still apart unless one is taking a dirt nap.

That's why I added the provision that they can get back together again, as long as the seperation was a decent amount of time (which is subjective, but I'm lenient).

Tarot and Boo Cat love Boo Cat
This is blast from the past. I bought the first few issues of this series and sold them for a pretty penny.

Surprised that it's taken this long for Johnny to appear, esp. since the challenge could have been narrowed to 'Johnny Storm's exes' and you'd still get a pretty decent list of names.

I wasn't completely sure with the wording if the couple that got back together had to break up again, so I erred on the side of caution. I just wanted to avoid comic drama of breaking up for one or two issues after an argument and immediately getting back together or the super-short relationships. For instance Rogue and Colossus; they had 1 kiss during Claremont's second run and that was it. Or basically 90% of Johnny Storm's relationships.
So far (as far as I can tell, some relationships are in titles I've never read) everybody got the assignment: a relationship that either seemed important at the time or was important to the character, but ended.
But there are so much comics out for American characters (I fear the person who said they have read every single appearance of Batman or Superman), that I fully expect some writer years later deciding: "A&B were together when I was a kid, I liked those comics, I'll have them back together again." and I don't want to penalize anybody for not having read all comics for some of the bigger characters. Because a lot of them will be terrible.

I thought of a couple that I really wish I'd come up with sooner. I debated changing my answer; I was thinking that Tarot and Boo Cat might not qualify, since their first, exclusive relationship ended before the comic's first issue. But they've been close, and occasional lovers, since. The relationship is still important to them both, even though they're both in relationships with others. (Boo Cat and Licorice Dust seem to have hit a bump in the road, though.) Sooooo . . . I'm sticking with my first choice. Surprised the other pair hasn't turned up, though.

There's one in particular I'm shocked hasn't made an appearance yet.

There's one in particular I'm shocked hasn't made an appearance yet. There's a Silver Age love interest that seemed like they were part of One True Pairing before breaking up in the 60s and getting written out for years. I almost went with them, but decided not to. I wonder if that's who you mean.
