They're 100% about the relationship.

They are tragic love stories like Romeo and Juliet. You wouldn't call that a romance. Love stories are a very old genre. For Romance think Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer pioneers of romance or a more modern mother of romance Kathleen Woodiwiss. They all have happy endings.
There is also Chicklit which has plenty of romantic elements and are about relationships but not necessarily a happy ending for the couple is required. These are not romances either.
