15+ Couples Whose Relationship Stories Could Star in a Drama

Some couples make you go, “Now that’s true love.” Others? You grab a bowl of popcorn because their relationship is pure entertainment. Their lives play out like a never-ending TV show, full of shocking twists, jaw-dropping moments, and dialogue straight out of a top sitcom. People have shared some of the most unbelievable relationship stories they’ve ever lived through.

• I invited my significant other over to watch a movie and eat something tasty. We ordered pizza and were lazing in bed. It was so warm and cozy, I felt completely comfortable next to him.
  We’re watching a movie, I cuddle up closer to him, look into his eyes and ask, “Eugene, we’re going to get married someday, right?” And he sighs heavily and says, “No... Who would even want us?” © Caramel / VK
• So, at my own wedding, while giving a speech in front of all the guests, I accidentally called my wife Emily like three times. She’s actually Jessica. Everyone looked at me kinda weird, and then my uncle asked, “Wait, who’s Emily?”
  Well, I just spilled the truth—Emily is actually my mother-in-law. I usually call her “Mom Emily.” I was just so nervous and didn’t want to mess up what to call my mother-in-law, and of course, it came out even worse. And my wife didn’t correct me even once...Now, whenever we watch the wedding video, we always laugh at that part.

• Right after I gave birth, my husband said he was going to do a DNA test on our baby. Instead of celebrating or being there for me during one of the hardest times of my life, he just checked out completely until the results came back. I was crying so hard out of hurt and anger!
  We had to wait about three weeks for the results. During that time, he stopped giving money for groceries and wouldn’t even come home for days. Then, when the results finally came in, he crawled back on his knees... and I just quietly filed for divorce. He already showed who he really is, and I don’t want to see him anymore. I’d rather be on my own. © Kak my rasstalis’... / VK
• When I was 18, I was hanging out at a friend’s summer house, and this older guy—he was like 24—started hitting on me. He’d hug me, hold my hand, try to kiss me, and even asked me to go on a walk. After the weekend, I found him on social media and messaged him like, “Hey, wanna meet up and keep hanging out?”
  And he replied: “Are you out of your mind messaging me here? My wife will see! Don’t message me.” I should mention he wasn’t wearing a ring, and that was the first time in my life I’d ever run into a married guy. © Podslushano / Аноним1374211 / Ideer
• Lately, my husband has been having dreams about me cheating on him. Every morning, it’s a picture-perfect scene: I wake up to him gazing at me reproachfully and sulking, then he turns his back to me and mumbles, “Well, really, how could you, I love you, and you...”
  Then he spends half the day feeling hurt and barely talking to me. By evening, he comes around, but the morning starts the cycle again. I don’t even know what to think anymore. I’m faithful to my husband and have never given a reason for jealousy or doubt. © Podslushano / Ideer

• When I get home from work, I’ve been talking to people for 8 hours straight. I just want time to decompress, let my brain do nothing. My partner has been on her own all day, and she’s desperate for someone to talk too. It causes real problems. © Douglas______ / Reddit
• A year into the relationship with my boyfriend, everything was perfect. But recently, he suddenly changed — if I ask him to buy something, he ignores me. He stopped giving me flowers. I can tell something’s wrong.
  I couldn’t take it anymore and asked, “What’s going on?” And this gentle flower says, “It’s because you recently ate my ice cream. You were at work, and I had been thinking about it all day, I open the freezer, and it’s gone. And you ate it without thinking of me.”
  I had to buy several ice creams of the same flavor for him to calm down.
• My husband and I fight all the time because he’s a very private and quiet person who doesn’t like to talk about himself and I tell him every detail of my life. I get annoyed because something huge will happen to him, and he’ll tell me days later in an offhand way.
  The other day is a perfect example. He’s been out of work for 2 months and has been talking to a woman about some job openings. He got an interview for next week and didn’t tell me until the next day, and then it was like, “Oh, I didn’t tell you, did I? I have an interview on Thursday.” Like it was no big deal.
  I just can’t understand that. I would have been on the phone with him first thing and I would have been analyzing everything she said. I think it’s the biggest misunderstanding because it’s been happening for the last 4 years. © mootiechazam / Reddit

• Dated a guy for a year, everything was great. Then one day, I see he’s online, I text him, “Good morning,” he reads the message, and silence. 5 hours later, I text, “Hey, everything alright?” Again, he reads it, and silence.
  Well, he must be busy, I thought. I decided to just wait until he’s free. 2 weeks went by. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t on pins and needles, but I didn’t text him. At first, I didn’t want to bother him if he was really busy, and then out of principle.
  After those 2 weeks, he finally texted back — a tearful rant about how I don’t care about him and how a normal girl would have come to see what was going on by now, and I’m acting like nothing happened. When I asked why he ignored me, he cryptically replied, “I was testing you.” Well, I failed the test, see ya, I prefer reasonable guys. © Caramel / VK
• My wife and I were going to head into town. I dressed first and went out to warm up the car. I started it and, not to waste time, decided to chop some firewood. Quite a bit of time passed, and my wife still hadn’t come out.
  I went inside, and there she was on her phone. Fully dressed. I asked, “What are you doing?” And my dear wife replied, “I went outside, saw you chopping wood, and thought, why freeze outside, I’ll wait at home.” © NurLand / Pikabu
• On the first date, a guy invited me to a fancy restaurant. I thought, wow, I’m lucky! We ordered drinks, food, everything was great.
  And then at the end of the dinner, he suddenly takes out his phone and asks, “Would you mind paying for yourself?” I was so shocked, I stood there with my mouth open. The way he said it sounded okay, but I was still amazed.
  In the end, I paid, but I went home in complete shock. I still don’t understand why invite someone to an expensive restaurant and then pull such surprises. I’m curious if it was a one-time thing or if I’ll have to keep paying from now on? © Caramel / VK

• I’ve been dating a guy for half a year, and he recently came out with this, “Kate, you’re weird! You don’t ask for money for a manicure, you don’t like flowers, and when I go out with the guys, you don’t even get nervous or jealous. You cook for me, you’re so sweet with me. Anyway, I’m breaking up with you.”
  I’m in shock. Ordinary things like trust, love, and understanding — that’s weird to him. © Caramel / VK
• I never wear underwear in any color other than black. I just adore it; it always looks amazing and has a slimming effect. But last week, something got into my head, and I decided to buy a white underwear set.
  So, my husband sees it on me in the evening and starts a fuss, saying, “You have an affair! White panties are only worn for lovers!” What a fool! © Mamdarinka / VK
• I’m fed up with my boyfriend eating my food. I baked a cake, but instead of frosting, I used mayonnaise with garlic.
  The next morning, the cake was gone. I giggled all day, and in the evening, he came home unusually serious. I got worried.
  Then he pulled a box from his pocket, got down on one knee, and said, “About the cake, I realized it was revenge. But you know what, I want to marry a woman with this amazing sense of humor. Will you marry me?”

• My husband and I decided to get a divorce. We were driving each other crazy—total chaos. We tried filing online, and of course started fighting again. At that point, I thought, “Why not? No holding back,” and just let out everything I’d been holding inside, burning bridges left and right. He wasn’t holding back either—we were both yelling like mad.
  Turns out, his biggest complaint was... that I bottle everything up, get all huffy and pouty, and that’s what caused all the fights. Now we’ve been living happily together for two years, yelling at each other once a month so loud the neighbors knock on the walls—but we’re happier than ever.
• My husband started disappearing at night. Weekends? He’s gone. Doesn’t want to spend time together, always says, “I’m tired.” Naturally, I assumed he had a girlfriend. So I sat him down and was like, “Come on, admit it. How could you?” Turns out, he’s been spending all night at the gym. He stepped on the scale, saw a three-digit number, signed up for a 24/7 gym, and now goes there every chance he gets. He even showed me pics from the gym and messages with his trainer. Meanwhile, I was convinced our marriage was about to fall apart! © Podslushano / Ideer
