Fans think Donna and Eric just weren't right for one another
Redditor u/bigstewwwww (https://www.reddit.com/r/That70sshow/comments/g4agxd/unpopular_opinion_eric_and_donna_are_the_absolute/) ruminated on the exact nature of Eric and Donna's relationship, stating, "They had very little in common and the only reason they worked was the same reason that a lot of couples get divorced: [Eric] doing a lot of things he didn't wanna do and not being happy with [Donna] but suppressing his emotions because he liked having sex with her and didn't [want to] be alone."
A lot of people agreed, and looking at the series, it seems like the two definitely had some issues. They went through ups and downs on plenty of occasions, like when Donna wanted to return Eric's promise ring. Or when they were supposed to get married, but Eric left her at the altar. The only explanation for such behavior is that they were kids, as u/JayTeeDubbsProd wrote, "Their relationship was pretty accurate to how relationships are at that age."
Regardless, they appear to have made it work, considering Netflix's "That '90s Show" (https://www.looper.com/628352/that-70s-show-is-spinning-off-into-a-new-decade-on-netflix/) is slated to come out centering on Eric and Donna's daughter coming to live with her grandparents. Hopefully, now that they're a little older, their relationship is on more solid footing.
