Couldn't Michael saying "Love didn't work for my parents..." just be more Goth Kid lamenting? Like Henrietta talking about what a bitch her mother is when in reality she's very loving towards her? It would fit with the running gag of how terrible they think their lives are. Or, maybe "didn't work" could mean they're in a loveless marriage, have a hard time getting along, etc. Like Cameron in Ferris Bueller's Day Off talking about how much his parents hated each other and all that, but they were still married.
