The Trio and the Love Triangle (I sure hope not!)

Okay, I just have to say this out loud or forever hold my peace. :)

I am an avid fanfic reader and writer, and I've read a whole lot of 
ships. In fanfic, Ron is more often than not portrayed as someone 
who'll betray Harry either unwittingly or not. I can take that, 
because everyone's personality is dynamic. Heck, I can take it e 
surprised if JK makes Hermione a traitor (but I wouldn't count on 
it). Anyway, the idea that Ron could go bad, as disturbing it is to 
me since I am a Ron fan, is something that is admittedly possible. 

However, I am highly, highly disturbed with the theory that Ron can 
turn traitor because of Hermione. Hermione will end up with Harry, 
and Ron get all feeling betrayed, and off he willingly joins the 
Dark Side or he becomes very vulnerable so that he is easily lured. 
This is opposed by Ron/Hermione shippers, who claim that Ron has a 
crush on Hermione, and Hermione could possibly like him back too. 
But some anti-R/Hr and/or anti-Ron say that Ron and Hermione can be 
together for a while, but they'll split up because Ron either is a.) 
abusive  b.) neglectful  c.) immature  d.) insecure e.) unfaithful  
f.) uncommunicative  g.) all of the above. After Ron and Hermione 
split up, Hermione will be together with Harry, much to Ron's 
devastation. Thus it's the start of Ron's betrayal (aware or 
unaware), or so they say.  

Am I the only one who finds such a storyline cheesy and tacky? It 
makes everything so melodramatic, soap operatic
and worse, 
predictable and mediocre. If ever Ron will do become evil (which I 
sure doubt), I sure hope that a love triangle is NOT the reason.
