10 People Who Made Marriage Pacts with Their BFFs Share What Happened

Has there been a rom-com made about this yet? I’m thinking that by this point, there has to be at least one (starring Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz, perhaps?).

Surprisingly, marriage pacts actually exist in real life – you know the ones I mean, where people say, “if we’re not married by “X” age, you and I are getting married.”

These folks on AskReddit have the stories to prove it.

#1. I wonder why…

“I met someone once who did this for tax purposes. They were already good friends and planned on divorcing if they ever met someone they wanted to marry.

He was confused as to why his relationships never lasted past him saying he was married.”

#2. Hmmmm

“I know a couple that did this, she left her ex-boyfriend to be with the guy. They each promised to marry one another if they weren’t in a relationship when they reach a certain age.

The ex-boyfriend, who is my cousin, was not happy when he got out of prison and saw his “girl” married to someone and has a child. My cousin isn’t smart and wants a paternity test to prove the child is his, for the record he has been in prison for 6 years and the child is 4.”

#3. Still married!

“My husband and I met playing FFXI (an MMO) when we were about 14 years old. We lived one state over, and became good friends – chatting online and on the phone mostly. When I was going through a typical exaggerated end of the world break up where I claimed to be unloveable and alone forever, he was trying to comfort me and said, “if we’re single at 24, we can get married together.” I reminded him of that a bunch of times in the future when both of us went through bad relationships.

At age 20, finally both single and capable of traveling, we went on our first date. It was lovely. We went to a museum and one of the best steak restaurants in the city – however, we totally couldn’t afford the steak. Did two years long distance (USA – JAPAN). Continued dating, married at 26 (two years late!), and went back to that steak restaurant and got the most expensive steak.

Still married and happy. :)”

#4. Awwwwwww

“Ok, so kinda happened… My husband and I were best friends in middle and high school. After multiple failed teenage relationships we made a pact to get married at 35 if we hadn’t found anyone yet.

We lost touch in our early twenties for about ten years.. each with a child and failed marriages under our belts, we reconnected in our early thirties, realized how amazing we are for each other, and have been happily together since. It was a year or two into our relationship when a mutual friend reminded us of our pact…We didn’t get married until 36, but go us? Lol.”

#5. Worked out

“I had this with a girl. The 30 years of age deadline. We hooked up at 25 and got married at 30. Still together.”

#6. The long haul

“We met when we were 5 years old. We had a crush on each other, but we both switched schools after 4 years, and lost communication. We met again in 9th grade and became good friends, but he had a gf. For years every time one of us was single, the other was in a relationship.

So we stayed as best friends, and only kissed once during senior year. Eventually, after a bad breakup, he tells me if we hit 30 and we’re still single we should get married. I agreed.

Fast forward to 10 years after that, and we’ve been together for almost 2 years. Not married, but still very happy.”

#7. You never know

“I made this pact with a very good friend. We’re both in our separate relationships that are both going very strong, and we still talk very often (she’s in another country so meeting up is kinda hard). I don’t think either of us ever believed we would have needed the pact, but at the time it was nice knowing that we weren’t gonna end up alone.”

#8. What a story

“Not successful. She asked me to marry her by 30 when we were both 19. I said sure because I had a huge crush on her anyway. We dated briefly for a summer before she went back to college and have been good friends the rest of the time. She ended up becoming a Catholic sister after college (she takes similar vows of celibacy and poverty as a nun would, but lives “in the world” as opposed to being secluded in a convent) and works for the church in finance.

We still see each other, are both in our late 30s. We have talked about it and she does admit to wanting in the past to be with me romantically again, that I am the only person she has been intimate with, but that she believes strongly in what she is doing and her vows. I love her dearly as a person and dont think of her romantically anymore, but it would be hard for me to say no if she left the church and wanted to see me again.”

#9. Wish I could go back…

“We agreed manybyeats ago if we were still single at 40, we’d get married. Had a 1 year relationship with her at 30, and it ended badly. We’ve spoken 3 times since then, and I’m in a relationship I’d rather not be in almost 10 years down the line. She is still single, and I wish I could go back and fix the problems.”

#10. Mom and Dad

“My parents grew up a few streets apart and played together all the time. They went to different schools and one or the other was always in a relationship or crushing on someone so neither of them really saw each other as an option until they were both dumped on the very same day when they were 17/19 and decided they’d get married at 30.

They’ve been together for 24 years :)”

A Mom’s Response to Her Daughter’s Interracial Relationship Went Viral in a Big Way

This is Heather Boyer of Houston, Mississippi.

Photo Credit: Heather Boyer/Facebook

Her daughter recently updated her profile picture, and it featured her and her new boyfriend, who happens to be African American.

Soon enough, Heather received a text message from a “friend” who asked if she knew she was “dating a black boy.”

Needless to say, this fired Heather up, and so she wrote about her feelings in a Facebook post.

It reads…

Today my daughter changed her profile picture. After maybe 5 minutes I get a text ..” I didn’t know she was dating a black boy, did you?”

It took me all day to think up a response, which I didn’t send personally but thought I would share for anyone else that “may not know”

Yes in fact I did know, but the color of his skin doesn’t define who he is. What does define who is he is how he treats my daughter.

I see my daughter dating a boy that comes to my house and shows me nothing but respect (a big deal in my book). It’s always Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am, we talk about football and baseball, he tells me bye when he leaves, and has not once shown me a lack of manners or respect.

I see my daughter dating a boy who treats her good. He takes her on dates, to ballgames, out to eat..not to a club or partying on the weekends.

I see my daughter dating a boy who takes her to church with him. Every Sunday. He plays in the band, she sits with his family. How many young men these days make church a priority? None of the others have.

He doesn’t hit her, cuss her, lie to her, or make her cry. Would I rather her date a white boy that did, to keep from her dating another race? Absolutely not.

So that’s my response to the question I was asked. And I know people have their own opinion, but at the end of the day, the fact that my daughter has someone that loves her and treats her like a queen makes me happy. That’s something I’ve never had in my life and I’m glad she does.

The post is now up to 1.3M likes and 160K+ comments, many of which are filled with support and thanks that she put herself out there in such a personal way. She said what we all needed to hear, so thank you.

Awesome job Heather!

This Guy Crafted the Perfect Revenge After Neighbors Threatened His Dog

Never mess with someone’s dog. EVER.

A lesson that this guy’s neighbors had to learn the hard way after they stuck their nose in business that definitely wasn’t theirs.

The original post on Reddit told this story:

I planted over 5000 dandelion weeds in my neighbors garden from ProRevenge

So, basically, this guy’s dog was pooping IN HIS OWN YARD, he picked it up weekly, and his neighbors objected to what? Having to look at it in another person’s garden?

I would have been tempted to tell them to shove it, myself, but I doubt I would have been so created.

They threatened his dog, so they get what they get – I personally loved both the wild paint color and the dandelion seeds.

Though this commenter also had a brilliant idea.

Comment from discussion Skylerskyhigh’s comment from discussion "I planted over 5000 dandelion weeds in my neighbors garden".

Plus, they’d never be without it when they wanted to make mojitos.

Other commenters were good looking out, reminding the original poster not to plant anything he didn’t also want in his own garden.

Comment from discussion Mech_Monk’s comment from discussion "I planted over 5000 dandelion weeds in my neighbors garden".

The more you know.

Stay creative with your revenge out there, people, and don’t let the neighbors threaten you or yours without retribution. It just isn’t right.

A Woman Leaves Her Boyfriend Sweet Notes to Help His Depression and They Will Make You Feel the Love

It’s so important to be surrounded by positive, compassionate people in your life. And this story perfectly illustrates that fact.

If you or any of your loved ones have ever struggled with depression, you know it can be extremely crippling and can affect your life in a number of negative ways.

A man who suffers from seasonal depression has a lovely girlfriend who helps him through the hard times, even when she can’t be near him. The two are in a long-distance relationship. He lives in North Carolina and she lives in Jamaica. The man shared the series of notes that his girlfriend left him in his apartment to help him work through his depression.

He wrote on Twitter “My gf knows that I suffer from seasonal depression, and in order to help me with it she left me random messages in my apartment to make my smile. It’s been a week since she left and I’m still finding them the most obscure places.”

Here’s the first note he shared on Twitter, and she encouraged him to get out and go to the gym. Always a great idea!

And, of course, some inside jokes were in order.

Some good night notes are always helpful.

She also left some great notes to wake up to in the morning.

Another note included some helpful advice like letting light into his apartment and eating healthy meals.

And he was still finding notes even six days after his girlfriend left.

Her final note looked ahead to a bright future for both of them.

He summed it up pretty good with a final tweet in the thread.

It’s pretty obvious these two love each other a lot, despite the physical distance between them.

A Driver and an Elderly Woman Had a Surprisingly Deep Talk About Love and Sex

Taking a ride can sometimes be an adventure.

You never know what kind of conversation you’re gonna have when you take a ride in an Uber, Lyft, or a taxi. And on the flip side of that, the drivers don’t know what they’re going to get, either.

A Twitter user who works as a driver shared the story of an interaction she had with an elderly woman that shed a lot of light about love, sex, relationships, and life.

This is how the story began…

Wow. That’s quite an admission…especially to a stranger. But the old woman obviously needed someone to talk to and, for one reason or another, believed she could confide in her driver.

The story continued.

That’s a pretty incredible explanation. Perhaps this driver also moonlights as a writer in her spare time? The elderly passenger responded to the driver’s description of sex with a woman. She opened up and told the younger woman about her own life experiences and how she never felt fully satisfied with men.

 

The woman then talked about how she wished her generation would have had different attitudes and beliefs about sex and relationships. It’s interesting to think about how many people in her age group probably feel exactly the same way she does.

The senior citizen also told the driver that she and her best friend now live together.

The driver took the woman to her doctor’s appointment and scheduled to pick her back up when it was over. There’s no way that could have been the end of this story.

The driver returned and picked the woman up after her appointment and took her home.

And here’s the final tweet in the thread. And it is a good one.

Is that a tearjerker or what?

A beautiful story about love, life, and kindness.

Be good to each other!

15 People Share Why They’re No Longer with Their Ex

Relationships come and go, we all know that. And there comes that moment in many relationships when you think to yourself, “it’s over.” You may have been ruminating on it for awhile, or it might have popped out of nowhere, but the fact remains that once it’s been thought, you can’t un-think it.

The beginning of the end, as it were.

And these 15 people are ready and willing to dish on what exactly made that moment happen for them.

#15. She hired two guys to rob me.

When I was nearly robbed. Before the story came out she said damn I didn’t know that your great great grandparents medals were stolen. She fucking hired 2 guys to rob me cuz I told her my brother was having an serious asthma attack and I’ll be at the hospital. She wanted to show me that she found the medals

#14. That’ll do it.

She got pregnant with another guy’s child.

#13. A suckerpunch.

My girlfriend was verbally abusive on a regular basis. She would also get physically abusive when she drank too much. She wasnt really strong enough to hurt me seriously, but when the person you love starts trying to suckerpunch you it is really frustrating. I still miss her a lot.

Some days she was wonderful and the sweetest person ever. Others she was bitter, angry, and would do anything to try to get a reaction out of me by insulting me. Started to become my insecure high school self after a while and had to give up.

She dealt with a lot of really horrible abuse in her past and I didn’t want to ever be the next abuser because of my own anger and frustration so I had to let her go. Still miss her. Still love her. Wish things had been different

#12. A petty argument.

He punched me in the face after a petty argument.

#11. So many things.

Faked a pregnancy when I tried to break up.

Cheated (multiple times).

2 real suicide attempts when i tried to break up.

Fake rape claim threat when i tried to break up.

My hands started sweating and my heart was racing when I saw pictures of her recently. This happened over 2 years ago. This tiny girl terrifies me.

#10. You’re a garbage human.

I was in the emergency room with kidney stones (didn’t know it was kidney stones at the time, just knew I was in the most pain I’d ever been in). She got pissed because “you’re not paying attention to me.” Seriously, I’m in a fucking emergency room hooked up to an IV with pain killers flowing through me, at this point I’m half conscious cuz of the morphine, & apparently I’m a piece of shit for not paying attention to her. It came to a head when I asked her to get a nurse because something didn’t feel right (they had gave me something I was allergic to & I was starting to have an allergic reaction). She said, “Fine, I’ll just be your babysitter.” At that point I just told her to go home, that her negativity was making me feel worse. She got all pissy, threw a fit, and left in a rage. Next day I didn’t even call her for a ride back home when I got out of the hospital, I called my aunt & had her drive me home. The moment I got home I started packing my shit. If you have to be the center of attention & can’t feel any empathy whatsoever while I’m in the goddamn emergency room, you’re a garbage human I don’t want anything to do with.

#9. Yeah…nope.

Been married 18 years, so my ex was an ex from about 23 years ago.

Reason he’s my ex? Got my “friend” preggers, when I confronted him he suggested we stay together and have threesomes. Yeah… Nope.

#8. It was all a coincidence.

Said she wanted a change…. coincidentally at the same time that I finished paying for her college.

#7. His words not mine.

He cheated on me. His excuse was “It wasn’t anything sexual. I just wanted to show her my dick then she grabbed it and put it in her”.

His words not mine.

#6. It just didn’t click.

He was truly a phenomenal person but something just didn’t click romantically. I just didn’t feel the way I thought I should have felt about him.

#5. Life was a cabaret.

She didn’t want to commit, but she didn’t want to be alone. She liked to pretend that she didn’t need my company, and that life was a cabaret, but she did, and it really wasn’t for her. Something in her was afraid of getting too close. I just got tired of it.

#4. I still love her.

Well, she passed away so I guess she is my ex now. I still love her.

#3. One thing in common.

Turned out the only thing we had in common was that we both liked to eat pussy.

#2. A selfish a**hole.

Because I’m a selfish asshole.

Being a selfish asshole is fine if you’re by yourself, and want to be that way, but other people tend to not like it very much when looking for company.

#1. It was toxic.

I realized it was a toxic relationship when he got mad at me for not wearing makeup.

On to the next!

A Guy Got Roasted Online for His “How-To” Guide for His Next Girlfriend

A fella named Jacob Brown posted a bullet-pointed list that he says was written by his ex-girlfriend. The list is a “how-to” guide for his next potential girlfriend. Whoever it is, she’s going to be a very lucky woman. That was sarcasm, by the way.

This guide to Mr. Brown’s heart is, quite frankly, insane. And it’s really loooong. But, if you want to be that lucky lady, you have to play by Mr. Brown’s rules.

Here is the “how-to” guide that Brown claims his ex-girlfriend wrote for him. Either way, it’s totally ridiculous.

Hmmmmm. Two things: Sounds like Brown isn’t really looking for a partner, but a maid/mother to take care of him. AND I have a feeling (and so do some other people) that Brown’s ex-girlfriend didn’t write this, but Mr. Brown did it himself.

I mean, look at that last paragraph. That is out of control. “He’s so perfect and I hope you are “the one” he’s always been talking about.” Wow.

People on Twitter thought the whole situation was absurd and hilarious.

And Mr. Brown got ROASTED.

Oh so roasted…

Burned to a crisp…

And this jokester made up their own list to mimic Brown’s and it is pretty hilarious.

Photo Credit: Twitter

So funny!

Photo Credit: Twitter

Yikes! Not a look, Jacob! Not a good look at all…

To all the guys out there, definitely do NOT follow this man’s lead.
