It is uncommon, if not outright rare, as far as I've seen. Mentioning a single example is not really strong evidence that it isn't. And even if it wasn't, here's the thing: Something being common in fiction does not mean it is good writing.

And that kind of behaviour, a 21+ year old woman being in denial about such a thing for almost 2 decades, is unrealistic, and not the kind that can be merely ignored as if it was the same as someone walking their dog while jobbing.

Obviously, like most unrealistic things there's an example somewhere in real life if you look hard enough, but that would be an exception, not a rule let alone something common enough to be seen as normal.
