Peter (Chris Pratt) and Gamora (Zoe Saldaña)'s romance, as set up in the first two "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies, ruled. She tragically died in 2018's "Avengers: Infinity War," only to come back to life in 2019's "Endgame." But this Gamora doesn't remember the Guardians or her romance with Peter, and "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" had the perfect opportunity to give this love affair a perfect, painful ending.
"GOTG 3" does not do that. I would be fine if the movie ended their relationship forever (Saldaña has been vocal she's not planning on returning to "GOTG," while Pratt seems to be continuing with the MCU), but it doesn't really dive to the emotional core of their relationship and their grief about what once was and no longer is. Instead, they just fizzle out.
