Witness Protection: To protect your lives, you must live under assumed identities.

After a Tragedy: All your friends are dead. Your group is shaken. You saw someone you love murdered. The only other person you have left is the one you're with.

I Don't Want this Life, Dean: You don't want to continue in the family business - er, in your old ways set up by someone else, so you cling to someone who can give you a normal life.

Turning Over a New Leaf: You're genuinely trying to become a better person and you can't do that with the reminders of your old home and old life.

Blank Slate: You have to have a new life because you don't know your old one! All you know is the person you're with and the things they can tell you.

Old Habits Die Hard: No matter what your life is now, you can't shake the need to double check the locks or hold your magic wand tight.

Through Elicit Means: You got with your partner through cheating and you want to keep that fact on the low.

Taboo:

Age Difference: You can always fake IDs and birth certificates.

Tyrannical Government: You're political enemies drawn together. Perhaps you're working to undermine the government, or maybe you've escaped from that place and are living in peace.

Dependent: You don't know anyone else in this new world of yours, or you don't know how to navigate it, making you dependent on your partner.

They Don't About Your Past:

For Them: You're dangerous to be around, so you can't clue them in lest an old enemy or your own abilities come back and harm them.

Using Them: This new life is just a sham. You want them to be your camouflage, maybe even getting others to believe you've changed.

Brainwashing:

Mutual: Both of you think you've always lived this life, thanks to outside forces.
