Answer:

star-crossed lovers: Lovers whose relationship is doomed to fail are said to be “star-crossed”because those who believe in astrology claim that the stars control human destiny. through time it seems played that every time romeo and juilet get to the good part of things, it becomes a battle and ends horribly. they believe they are meant to be but every time destiny begins to cross them together things take a turn south
