Love has no happy ending, because love doesn’t end at all. If there is an ending then it is not love. In the books The Christmas Carol and Fahrenheit 451 both relationships ended with Mildred being burned and Belle leaving. Scrooge and Montag both had someone they thought they loved, but they just slipped away.
Belle was Scrooges girlfriend at the time and they thought they were each others soul mates. Big plans they had for when they would get married, but Scrooge had found a new love, for money. The same happened with Montag and Mildred. They thought that they would live a happy marriage then Montag was starting to have an opinion about books. There was a spark of their interests that made them drift apart. Also, Scrooge and Montag both had lost them in the book, but they lost them in different ways.
Montag lost Mildred when he had kept a stolen book and then she was burned. Belle had the choice of leaving Scrooge when he had an addiction for collecting money. Mildred made no choices or changes while Belle did. Another difference was Scrooge I believe had once loved Belle as a teenager. No love was found in Montag's and Mildred's relationship at all.
Love is hard to find nowadays. Forty percent of marriages end in divorce, because people think they are in love or married too young. At least Scrooge and Montag didn't suffer a bad marriage for much longer.
