Twitter user, @sixthformpoet's story about finding love at a graveyard went viral, and it's no surprise. The story is riddled with unexpected craziness. The dude realizes he's been leaving flowers for a murderer! As much as we'd love for a wild tale of unexpected love like this to be true, it would seem that it has since then been proven to very likely be a work of fiction.

Seeing a marriage counselor isn't a bad idea, and people's reasons for it may seem strange and small, but really often it's a "straw that breaks the camel's back" kind of situation. So you end up with junk like "we're here today because he slurps his soup weird." At the same time, people are just strange. Here are some ridiculous reasons people wanted a divorce.
Jenna Guillaume's hilarious Twitter thread started with a complete curveball of a question. She asks whether it's normal that her husband enjoys his snacks in the shower? It shouldn't even matter whether it's normal or not. This guy is living his best life. Totally support his idea to start up a YouTube channel about shower snacks, and which snacks appropriately qualify as shower snacks.
Many people have this skewed idea of divine knowledge and love at first sight, like a relationship is supposed to be "meant to be." but sometimes you get hit by a stranger's car and smash through their windshield and right into their heart. Uh, metaphorically. The circumstances that lead to marriage can be funny, wild, and unexpected.
Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about people's wild and surprising marriage stories. You just never know what could kickstart a love that'll last a lifetime. Could be something as silly and immature as throwing a paper airplane at the back of someone's head.
Saag Jaan's Twitter thread about the crucial things to consider before marriage went viral, and it's no wonder. So many folks can fall prey to the pain of realizations about their partners, that simply came too late into the game. You'd never want to find yourself married to someone, only to realize that if you'd had a few more eye-opening conversations about the heavier topics that really matter in the long run, you'd both have realized things just weren't going to work out. Maybe this list will help couples avoid those unfortunate moments.
This woman asked folks on Reddit whether or not she was in the wrong for rejecting an engagement ring that her fiancé had given to his ex originally. Probably would've been best to just cough up the extra dough, and actually buy a new ring, my dude. Everyone in the comments seems to have sided with the woman's decision to reject the offering as well.
Tetris, the building block of every dysfunctional family. Seriously though, this tale of revenge centers on a man and his nasty father-in-law who simply wouldn't accept him for his daughter. By all measures, it sounds like the dad's daughter and the guy telling this story were truly in love, and happy together; but sometimes that just isn't enough for the stubborn, judgmental folks of the world. Fortunately, a moment arrived when Tetris was introduced as the tool to put a stop to all the animosity once and for all. I mean, there was definitely still animosity after the game, but it was of a passive aggressive nature.
The look on the mother-in-law's face must've been priceless. Yes, this woman's story of secretly understanding her mother-in-law's native language, and ultimately accidentally making that known to the rest of the family is pure gold. I think the pure shock value in letting the mother-in-law know that she could understand her all along makes all that trash talk worth it.
It is not your day, mom. One of the maid of honor's many responsibilities is to ensure that the bridezilla antics are kept to a pleasant minimum. That most definitely includes mom showing up with a white dress, which is exactly what you're not supposed to do on the big wedding day. Never take that shine away from the bride on her big day.
While this husband's birthday surprise absolutely erred on the side of fail, it seems like there was a bit more at play than just the surprise for these two lovebirds. Sounds like tensions were already rising for the two, and that him "forgetting" his wife's birthday was the straw that broke the camel's back. Fortunately, the situation gets calmed down, and it sounds like the two are working on ironing out their struggles.

Finding laughter through the pain is a beautiful thing. This guy certainly pulled it off.
