15+ Couples Who Prove That Real Relationships Are Funnier Than Any Sitcom

There are couples you look at and think, “Now that’s love.” And then there are those you want to watch with a bowl of popcorn. Their lives resemble a TV series with endless seasons, unpredictable plot twists, and dialogues worthy of top sitcom writers. People shared some of the most unbelievable stories they experienced in a relationship.

• A friend recently left her husband and moved to her parents’ place — something happened between them, the situation was heading toward divorce, and she decided to take a break from him and think things over. He didn’t accept it: he showed up almost every day, apologized, and asked her to come back. She gave in and returned.
  So, they arrived back at their apartment, and it was an unbelievable mess. Piles of unwashed clothes in the bathroom, the sink brimming with dirty dishes, and no one had swept or mopped the floors even once. Then her husband says, “Without you, it was so bad that I couldn’t do anything. It’s good that you came back.” Luckily, she didn’t even have a chance to take off her coat before she left again. © Caramel / VK
• My husband is convinced I have an affair. All because I couldn’t shut the car door on the first try a few times. From this, he concluded that I have a lover with a car that has automatic door closers. © len4ik.sf / Pikabu

• 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

• 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.
• 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’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?”
• 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

• 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. © Overheard / Ideer
• I never wear underwear in any other color 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
• 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

• I’m texting with my boyfriend. He hung out with friends and was running late. I say that I won’t wait up for him, and I’m heading to bed. To which he sent me about 10 messages like, “You’re upset as usual” and all that. Although I wasn’t upset, I just wanted to sleep!
  In the end, he texted me, “Well fine, if you’re just going to go to bed without me, just say so.” I replied, “Yeah, I’m already in bed.” He called and said he was already on his way home in a taxi. Drama queen. © Caramel / VK
• After a year in the relationship, I’ve put on some weight. And my boyfriend not only doesn’t notice it, he’s constantly delighted, saying that he likes it. Recently, I couldn’t hold it in, and said, “Geez, what are you so happy about?”
  And he says with a wise look, “Well look, since you’ve gained weight while being with me, it means you see me as a potential life partner, because if we break up, you’ll have to lose weight, and that’s tough. That’s why I’m glad my beloved girlfriend takes our relationship that seriously.”
  Now I don’t know what to do — because if I lose weight, he’ll think I’m not serious about our relationship. © Caramel / VK
• My husband and I never watch movies or series together because he’s crazy.
  At the very beginning of our relationship, he hid this peculiarity, but soon it turned out that he watches all movies at 1.5 or 2 times speed. He doesn’t care that it ruins the director’s whole vision, he just wants to find out what happens and how it ends as quickly as possible, so he can get on with his own stuff.
  But now he went even further and stopped watching anything at all. He found a channel with summaries and instead of watching a movie or series, he just watches some guy recap the whole plot in 10 minutes. I’m horrified. © Mamdarinka / VK
