Um, Rose who said 'I can't leave him' and 'Who's going to hold his hand now?', repeatedly chose him over her family and said 'This is how I died' when what actually happened was that she lost the Doctor but got everything else she wanted?
See, I saw Martha at the start being more 'Oh, he's fit' than 'True love forever! Mortgages! Time Babies!', the unrequited references/Rose jealousy were tailing off mid-season, and then in Human Nature she started going on about how she loved him and he didn't love her. Perhaps absence made the heart grow fonder, because the Doctor wasn't there, it was John Smith. And he really doesn't see her.
Actually, I've just squicked myself that she started talking about her unrequitedness in the same two-parter where she was significantly disadvantaged and disregarded, including by the man wearing the Doctor's face. Love being associated with powerlessness, not good.
So, so far both female leads, no matter how they started out, have ended up thinking the sun shines out of the Doctor's Converses. If they do that next year I shall be seriously annoyed.
