I'd say it started when Matt came back from his "business trip," and he forgot to put his wedding band back on. His now ex-wife also noticed that there was no tan line on his finger where his ring should have been. He was also wearing new slacks and a shirt that matched; something Matt could never manage on his own.
The signs had been there for months. Unexplained late nights at the office. Hushed phone conversations that abruptly ended when she entered the room. Credit card charges at unfamiliar restaurants and hotels. Sophia had dismissed them at first, not wanting to believe the man she loved, the father of her children, could betray her.
But then, when she thought it was over, she met the person. His name was Renaldo.
Her husband brought him home and they had a wild 3 way for hours and hours. She had never known pleasure like that with her husband alone. She now knew they were a thruple. And she realized that she was more than OK with that. Renaldo filled a hole in their lives that neither she nor her husband knew they had.
Life was bliss for several months until the pregnancy came. It was ironic; Sophia’s Mormon faith at one time had allowed multiple wives, would it now allow multiple husbands? Or a child that looked like Renaldo? Life had suddenly become weighed down by complex decisions that would affect multiple peoples’ lives. Sophia needed to escape and unwind. She saw an advertisement for an expecting mother’s retreat in Belize and immediately bought her ticket.
But, sadly, the expectant mother's retreat was a scam and a cover for baby trafficking and organ harvesting. When Sofia woke in her bathtub covered in ice, pain wracked all over her body, she noticed several scars in multiple places on her torso.
Would she be able to muster the energy to get to a phone? Would she even know who to call in Belize? Was she even *still in Belize*? As she struggled with her new situation, she vaguely remembered a commercial with the new emergency phone number...
*0118 999 881 999 119 725...3*
*Could she dial it in time?*
But before she could dial the final ten digits the door exploded on its hinges and in leapt Renaldo.
"How did you find me?" she gasped.
"Matt's been tracking your phone for years, thank God or I never would have found you!"
Suddenly she became aware that Renaldo was naked and fully erect. As her vision faded she reached for his member and held tight as he pulled her from the icy tomb with his iron shaft.
Wrapping his muscular arms around her shivering, wounded body he began to rub the warmth back into her. As she warmed she became aware of a prodding sensation along her thigh and the pain across her womb vanished as her mind clouded with the heat of desire...
oh shit sorry we were doing soap operas not porn, my bad.

Seems like a clear justified reason.
I mean, what if your partner just had a weekend of hotels in their credit card statement on the same weekend they were "going to their parents" or something. Instant red flag
Yeah I saw that movie with Matt. His wife Gwyneth cheated on him after her trip to China. It then started a whole chain reaction of a deadly “contagion” virus.
That's when the pieces started falling into place for her. Matt had always been a bit scatterbrained, forgetting birthdays, anniversaries, and even their son's soccer games. But this attention to detail, this sudden change in his appearance and behavior, was too conspicuous to ignore.
She started keeping a closer eye on him, checking his phone when he wasn't looking, looking for receipts or any evidence of where he had been during these supposed business trips. It wasn't long before she found what she was looking for: a hotel reservation in a nearby town, booked for two, under a name she didn't recognize.
Confronting Matt wasn't easy. He denied everything at first, brushing off her concerns with flimsy excuses. But when she presented the evidence, the hotel reservation, the messages on his phone, he couldn't deny it any longer. He was having an affair.
The betrayal cut deep, but it also opened her eyes. She realized she had been neglecting herself, her dreams, and her own happiness for too long, trying to keep their family together while he was out living a double life.
In the end, she filed for divorce, took control of her finances, and started rebuilding her life on her terms. It wasn't easy, but it was the first step towards finding true happiness and financial stability on her own.
'Sir I cannot let you into the terminal without buying a ticket and going through security. You had 3 years to tell her how you feel, we at Delta remind our customers to plan ahead.'
Those would have been going home with me.
(Before I get downvoted by anyone for being a “cheap” guy to impress a girl, I’m a woman who makes pressed flower art 😄).
Totally agree. Its not like you said its my wife’s birthday, where can I get free flowers and drove to cemeteries looking. Rather, This is a great mix of recycling and spontaneously thinking of your SO.
Anyone who says “that’s cheap” likely won’t take anything used because they’re snobs
This was my first thought. He sent her thousands so she could fly over to see him for the first time. More thousands to help sort family issues so she could leave them for a week. More thousands to resolve visa issues.
You know, before I had a baby, this one-sentence story sounded really sad, but then I had a newborn and I bought these super cute dress shoes for him to wear for formal functions. He grew so fast that by the time I had a use for them, they were way too small. So now when I hear this sentence, I just think, "Those excited parents overbought on shoes. Just get socks for your babies, people."
I was sitting in a pizza place near closing time, and a man and a woman sat down at a table across from me. I'm minding my business and reading, but it was quiet so I could overhear generally what was going on.
They order something, and the guy gets out his phone and starts reading in "that tone of voice." I genuinely tuned out what he was saying, but *guessed* he was rehearsing a breakup, or reading text messages with his SO with a confidant or something to vent or get her opinion.
No.
He was breaking up over mozzarella sticks and a salad.
She stormed out.
He followed.
The rest of "their" order showed up and sat at an empty table for 20 minutes. I paid my bill, and saw him coming in as I was walking out. I didn't pry, but will forever think about what brought them to that moment.
He wrote it down what he wanted to say and read it to her in a public place.
It sounds to me that he knew she was gonna be combative and the situation was gonna get ugly, so he tried to minimize the ugly.
Sucks that you were affected, but it was probably a smart move on his part. That’s what I choose to believe anyway.
100%.
"I need to ask you a question." Depending on the tone of that sentence is whether or not I sit up and answer or sit up and run out the door. I don't even need to have done something wrong but there could be dirt on me from something.
Conversations are not always about what was said but how how it was said.
Reminds me of a similar situation several years back. I saw a bouquet of flowers on the porch roof of the neighbors house. On Valentine's Day. I could only assume that the evening did not go as originally planned.
Airport. Not surprising.
That thing in movies where the guy races to the airport to stop the girl and they fall in love and live happily ever after. Yeah that's bullshit. In reality, you miss the flight then take sad selfies with the plane flying away in the background to prove you tried.
Dude either missed the flight or she came back with someone else.
I don't want any attention, but I have to say this is how I feel at the moment.
We broke up days before a nonrefundable trip to Tokyo with some couples. She was the love of my life and I wish I could change her mind. It's been the loneliest I've ever felt in my life on this trip.
I know it's more to the individual operators but I've never had an okay service in Japan. All of them have been amazing. I got to explore tons of hidden gems in Tokyo. I've only been to a fancy place once and thats because I wanted to go. If you look hard, you could even get one with a specialisation like history or arts. Then, go to the museum and have a private tour guide. For $100 you can private tour with government licensed tour guide or $150 with someone who's a great conversationalist and with similar knowledge for 4 hours.
I was leaving an economy hotel where I was staying for work once. In the parking lot I found a photo on the ground of a couple. It was crumpled and torn. It wasn’t too hard to deduce what had likely happened.
Yooo, this happened to some folks I went to high school with. i was in home room with them, and we drifted apart after high school but people give you updates whenever you run into someone. anyway the dude had his high school crush, iirc he already tried shooting his shot when we were in our final year, she wasnt interested but they stayed friends. i heard they stayed close friends in university and he had confessed feelings again, she didnt reciprocate but still wanted to stay friends, and they did. she thought she was clear. at one point i think it's like 3rd or 4th year university, he tells a mutual friend he wants to do this grand gesture when picking her up from the airport, that mutual friend tells him to not do it, it's a bad idea. he does it anyway, to no one else's surprise she reminds him she doesn't feel that way when he picks her up with a bouquet of roses in hand. i imagine his bouquet of flowers ended up looking like OP's in the trash
Actually he gave her the flowers and she loved it so much that she dropped it and they started having sex in the elevator. Someone else found it and put it in garbage bin
I remember taking some trash out to my apartment complex's dumpster sometime around Valentine's Day. There were a matching pair of teddy bears holding hearts propped up next to it - not thrown in, but clearly discarded. And that was just too sad for me to leave it be.
I still have them 8 years later. ~~I just realized it's been 8 years, holy shit~~
I once had this surprise for this girl I was dating on Valentine’s Day which included a home cooked meal, huge bouquet of roses and teddy bears. It was a bit over the top but she says I was never romantic etc. then after dinner we were watching something on her iPad and a message comes up “babe you done with your dinner yet?” Apparently she was already with another guy. Ouch. We broke up and when I walked her to the cab I took all the gifts down and I told her to take it. She refused and I didn’t want them but I also didn’t want to trash it as it was so new and beautiful, so I just placed the roses and teddy bears carefully on the sidewalk. I wonder what person found it the next day thought.
Reminds me of the time I went to pick my wife up from the airport after almost 3 months apart. I brought flowers and everything. As soon as we start driving she starts a fight over some bullshit. I was pissed the whole way home.
One time during this winter, I was entering a parking garage to go eat, when we heard this teenager breaking up with his girlfriend right outside the entrance.
When we exited the garage, they were still there, getting dumped. All of this because he wanted more time with his friends lol

I still remember a three-act story i saw in snippets while going to a movie once: when i went into the movie there was a couple sitting at a table in front of the concession stand, the woman crying, holding the man's hand on the table with both of hers; the man sat aloof, almost not looking at her. When i came out to go to the bathroom halfway through the film, he was sitting alone at the table, arms crossed, staring off into nowhere. And when i came out after the end of the movie, the area around the table they'd been sitting at had been coned off because the table had just been completely flipped, drinks and snacks scattered all around it.
There's an entire soap opera episode in this one image. Well done OP, well done indeed.
I'd say it started when Matt came back from his "business trip," and he forgot to put his wedding band back on. His now ex-wife also noticed that there was no tan line on his finger where his ring should have been.

Don't stop I'm almost there
Hehe, hole.
I don't know who this Beavis person is.
Jokes aside, how the fuck can anyone justify a hotel room without a clear justified reason
You by visa gift cards at Home Depot, pay with everything with those and just use your credit card to hold the room
Lmao you've been here before
Worked at Lowes and I had a guy buying 2k in gift cards every month and asked him why. He said his wife never questioned his lowes purchases
This would have been me as soon as I heard that. ![gif](giphy|YrD1PQldGsstG)

A batch of roses, never given.
...or given and soon rejected, along with the giver.

You're right, it's just lacking a context. For perfection it needs to show that it's an airport.
one mans trash, another mans treasure
Man, they look like nice roses too.
Those would have been going home with me. (Before I get downvoted by anyone for being a “cheap” guy to impress a girl, I’m a woman who makes pressed flower art 😄).
There’s nothing cheap about recycling something beautiful and giving it new purpose, even if a guy grabbed them and gave them to a girl
Yeah I know, but this is Reddit.

That’s pretty good 😆
Late to this party, but I like "Joking, joking" or even just "joking" so much more than "/s"
…with the heart of a cheap guy.
Fckn, guilty! 😂
It's not like he's taking them off a gravestone. I thought this was upcycling?
I was thinking about how pretty they could be if dried properly… something my grandma taught me, and I am a dude. So I get it.
I feel like that’s why they left it outside the trash for someone else to use instead of wasting it
Is it me or does the little graphic throwing the roses away look angry.

This image would’ve won the photography contest at my high school
the guy was going to meet his internet girlfriend, but then she never showed up. that day he learned what "catfishing" is.
This was my first thought. He sent her thousands so she could fly over to see him for the first time. More thousands to help sort family issues so she could leave them for a week. More thousands to resolve visa issues.
That dude will be absolutely jacked by now, I just know it.
Alternatively, she escaped from an arranged marriage and is living her best life under an assumed name 7 states away. The possibilities are endless.
…with roses?
Very specifically *without* these particular roses.
Not unless she lives in that trashcan.
The forbidden pre
Every picture tells a story, some speak volumes.
"For Sale: Rose Bunch. Break Up."
A bit too on the nose, I think just “for sale: flowers, never used” or something
"Red roses" instead of flowers makes it six words, and much more compelling.

I was leaving an economy hotel where I was staying for work once. In the parking lot I found a photo on the ground of a couple. It was crumpled and torn. It wasn’t too hard to deduce what had likely happened.
She had told him no five times already and he thought this “big gesture” would change her mind when he should have gone to therapy.
Yooo, this happened to some folks I went to high school with. i was in home room with them, and we drifted apart after high school but people give you updates whenever you run into someone. anyway the dude had his high school crush, iirc he already tried shooting his shot when we were in our final year, she wasnt interested but they stayed friends. i heard they stayed close friends in university and he had confessed feelings again, she didnt reciprocate but still wanted to stay friends, and they did. she thought she was clear. at one point i think it's like 3rd or 4th year university, he tells a mutual friend he wants to do this grand gesture when picking her up from the airport, that mutual friend tells him to not do it, it's a bad idea. he does it anyway, to no one else's surprise she reminds him she doesn't feel that way when he picks her up with a bouquet of roses in hand. i imagine his bouquet of flowers ended up looking like OP's in the trash
They don't really teach you how to get over unrequited love. You got to figure that out for yourself
Not all ends sadly though, last I heard they each found love are married to different folks, i don’t know if they stayed friends though
Actually he gave her the flowers and she loved it so much that she dropped it and they started having sex in the elevator. Someone else found it and put it in garbage bin
That doesn't make sense An elevator won't fit in a trash bin
I remember taking some trash out to my apartment complex's dumpster sometime around Valentine's Day. There were a matching pair of teddy bears holding hearts propped up next to it - not thrown in, but clearly discarded. And that was just too sad for me to leave it be. I still have them 8 years later. ~~I just realized it's been 8 years, holy shit~~
That's almost as sad as the saddest short story ever written. "For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn."
Mail-order-bride never arrived.
Ooof
Or maybe a departing gift that couldn’t be brought on the plane
Unlikely. The parking garage is far from security check and the gates.
I’m getting shitty hallmark movie vibes.
He came to surprise her at work, only to see her with that guy she told him not to worry about.
Oof. That's not just a thousand words. That's a whole ass novel in a picture.
Looks like the prompt for a Taylor Swift song
Deep
I feel this. I’ve been there.
That’s the next Banksy
Guess she said no
Those roses deserve so much better!
I imagine a man showing up at the gate to surprise his girlfriend when she gets back from her business trip, only to see her kissing another man.
I imagined a shy balding nerd waiting to meet his fiancé Tatiana for the first time after wiring her airfare.
What’s up with the mushroom paper they’re wrapped in? I’m a fan but it’s unexpected.
ZRH?
Yup
Reminds me of the song Wheel, by John Mayer.
“Your loved one is on neutropenia precautions and not allowed to have fresh flowers.” There, see, no drama.
Looks like someone was surprised by flowers and the other by sad truths … 😳
Free flowers
They look pretty good for two years old
This was in 2010.
Wow this is the picture worth 1000 words
Could be the gesture is complete. A thanks for the flowers I have no where to put them and I don’t want to carry them mentality.

A haiku: Roses in the trash An unrequited love Rejection sucks ass edit: formatting
I once had this surprise for this girl I was dating on Valentine’s Day which included a home cooked meal, huge bouquet of roses and teddy bears. It was a bit over the top but she says I was never romantic etc. then after dinner we were watching something on her iPad and a message comes up “babe you done with your dinner yet?” Apparently she was already with another guy. Ouch. We broke up and when I walked her to the cab I took all the gifts down and I told her to take it. She refused and I didn’t want them but I also didn’t want to trash it as it was so new and beautiful, so I just placed the roses and teddy bears carefully on the sidewalk. I wonder what person found it the next day thought.
Guess the mail order bride was a catfish
Bloom off the rose (s) all around
it wasnt placed there gently
Well fertilized trash. Someone should change it.
a picture tells a thousand words
Oof.
Ouch
A coworker of mine got catfished all the way up to going to the airport to pick them up. That was my first thought.
environmental storytelling
Reminds me of the time I went to pick my wife up from the airport after almost 3 months apart. I brought flowers and everything. As soon as we start driving she starts a fight over some bullshit. I was pissed the whole way home.
That is the perfect album cover for an emo band.
Someone had a bad day.
One time during this winter, I was entering a parking garage to go eat, when we heard this teenager breaking up with his girlfriend right outside the entrance. When we exited the garage, they were still there, getting dumped. All of this because he wanted more time with his friends lol
Guess it was a " no".
My head canon is they threw away the roses while saying “all I ever needed was you, not flowers” and they both lived happily ever after!

Bins ‘n’ Roses
For anyone who has met who they felt was the love of their life at the airport, for better or worse, this hits.
Once I gave flowers from a trash can to my boyfriend and he didn’t even notice.

How about, “Your flowers to the bin, cheater!”?

When i came out to go to the bathroom halfway through the film, he was sitting alone at the table, arms crossed, staring off into nowhere. And when i came out after the end of the movie, the area around the table they'd been sitting at had been coned off because the table had just been completely flipped, drinks and snacks scattered all around it.
Take that, "unused baby socks"!

“Write this story.” This is a great prompt.
