The biggest problem I see with Clarke and Lexa has nothing to do with chemistry or love and everything to do with obligation. They are leaders, meaning their first love must always be their people, including putting their people first before their loved ones. Lexa will always choose the Grounders first and Clarke will always choose the Sky People first. That's a huge conflict of interest there and one I don't see them able to overcome long-term.

I also don't see Clarke as a forgive-and-forget type of person. Think of Wells, her mom, Finn. She spent a season and a half mad at her own mom. I really doubt she'd forgive Lexa in a few minutes (at least I hope not because that would be completely out of character).
