Fiona Gallagher is just as messy with her relationships as the Gallagher family is with life on Shameless. The best thing she could do for herself — and the men in her life — is to be single for an extended period of time. Even when she has declared an intention to do so, it never lasted as long as it should have. The same is true for her attempts at casual relationships.

There's clearly something in Fiona that's not only drawn to relationships, but relationships with the "bad boy" type. Furthermore, she just keeps making the same mistakes over and over. Because of that, it's become a matter of when one of her romances is going to implode.

She's tried to make it work with good guys, but there are problems with that, too. Not only do those relationships not last for long, but the guys end up getting hurt. Really, sometimes you have to wonder if they — and if she — would've been better off if they'd never crossed paths. Just because Fiona's caused those relationships to end, however, doesn't mean she doesn't get hurt in the process too.

Many of the problems with Fiona's relationships can be traced back to her first major love interest: Jimmy/Steve. Despite how messy that got, there's something about him that draws her in every time he shows up. You know no one else stands a chance next to him, despite the lies he told her. It doesn't matter if she's married or how much time has ed since they last saw each other.

With that said, here are the 25 Things That Make No Sense About Fiona's Relationships On Shameless.

She Kept Going Back to Jimmy/Steve

The first real relationship Shameless put Fiona in was with Jimmy/Steve. At first, it seemed like they could make it work. However, he had too many secrets and kept popping in and out of her life.

For some reason, though, every time he did show up, she went back to him. It didn't matter what he'd done or what she'd found out about him the last time he was around. He might have lied about his name, or been married and left. Even when she was in another relationship, she couldn't seem to help but give into her feelings for him. She was even unfaithful to her husband with him.

She Always Chooses the Wrong Guys

Fiona always tries to make relationships work with the "bad boys." Even when it seems like she may have found a nice guy and it may work out, something happens that changes everything.

Jimmy/Steve seemed like a good guy, but the fact that he wasn't even honest about his name says enough. Sean clearly wasn't ready for marriage and got his act together after their relationship imploded. Her relationship with Ford started out casual, and he clearly fit her type. Still, just as they were making things work, she found out he was hiding a family from her.

Sean Proposed (and She Accepted) While She Was Still Going Through A Divorce

Fiona and Gus' marriage was never going to work out, and things got pretty messy when they divorced. However, the biggest headscratcher about it involved someone who wasn't even a part of their marriage: Sean. Yes, Sean did a nice thing by getting Gus' ring back for Fiona. However, that didn't mean he had the right to then propose to Fiona as she was in the middle of divorce proceedings.

Even worse? Why did Fiona think it was the right place to accept his proposal? That automatically made her the bad guy (even more than she already was) in her and Gus' relationship.

Ford Being the Biological Father of Babies of Gay Couples Was Completely Forgotten

Fiona met Ford, a carpenter and craftsman, when she had work done on her building. She soon learned he was the biological father of children of gay couples in the neighborhood. The fact that he helped out those couples wasn't the problem.

However, the fact that it was pretty much ignored and forgotten about as soon as Fiona found out was an issue. There was so much they could have done with that storyline — especially as Fiona and Ford grew closer — yet it was just dropped. Also, with Fiona kicking Ford out of her life after learning that he kept a family from her, Shameless likely won't address it again.

Ford Hid His Family From Fiona

Fiona and Ford's relationship seemed to be moving in the right direction early in season 9. Things were going as great as they could, at least when it comes to a romance of Fiona's.

However, that all changed when Fiona tracked his phone and discovered that he had a wife and son. He claimed he and his wife were separating, but why didn't he just tell Fiona the truth? It made no sense for him to keep this entire other life from her. This made even less sense when he began acting jealous of her meeting a male business associate for drinks.

Fiona Didn't Cut Robbie out of Her Life Immediately

Fiona met Robbie through his brother, Mike. She'd been dating Mike, but she was unfaithful to him with Robbie, the more irresponsible, partying-type brother. He gave her illegal substances for her birthday, and her younger brother, Liam, accidentally ingested some. Liam ended up in the hospital, and Fiona ended up in serious trouble with the police.

Though Fiona knew that Robbie ruined her life, she still partied with him and his friends. Falling back on familiar behavior was understandable, but spending time with the person responsible for what happened to her family wasn't.

Fiona Keeps Trying to Make It Work with Good Guys

Fiona clearly has a type: bad boys. If given a choice between a man who will offer stability and one who will bring chaos to her life, she's likely to choose the latter. However, she does continue to try to make it work with good guys.

She briefly dated Tony, a police officer from the neighborhood, but she chose Jimmy/Steve over him. She married Gus, who seemed like a really good guy, but she ruined their marriage. She thought Sean could be a good guy, despite his past, and didn't like that she didn't benefit from him turning his life around.

Fiona Was Going to Leave Her Family Behind for Jimmy/Steve

Fiona met Jimmy/Steve in season 1, but she didn't know (in the beginning) that he was a con man. When he had to leave to keep his secret at the end of the season, he wanted her to go with him. She even considered leaving her family behind to be with him. She was about to get on the train to go to the airport when she ultimately decided to stay for her family.

Family — and taking care of them — was extremely important to Fiona in the early seasons. As she grew older, however, that changed. You have to wonder if she'd make the same choice now.

Fiona's Reaction to Finding out Her High School Crush Was Married

Fiona deserves better than constantly getting involved with people who don't care about her. In season 2, she was briefly with her high school crush, who then told his wife. Fiona was, of course, made out to be the bad guy in this situation.

Craig's wife threw a milkshake at her, and Fiona made a quip about the flavor. That's pretty much what you expect from Shameless, though it would have been better if they had skipped it then. However, the series at least gave Fiona the moment that she deserved amidst the mess, as she cried in the bathroom after speaking with Craig and his wife.

Fiona and Mike's Relationship

The fact that Fiona dated her boss, Mike, probably wouldn't have been a problem if not for everything else. He had trust issues from a previous relationship, and that came into play in his and Fiona's professional relationship.

Someone broke the windshield of a company car, and she lied to him about how it happened. Mixing their personal and professional lives like that created a huge problem. Then, of course, you have to consider the fact that she wasn't faithful to Mike and Mike still helped her by posting her bail.
