I never promised you a rose garden

usually a response given after being blamed by someone for a situation that didn't live up to their lofty (and sometimes unrealistic) expectations.

Person 1: I can't believe I married you, this is not the life I signed up for!

Person 2: Oh yeah? Well, I never promised you a rose garden.

Gamer Promise

An unbreakable promise that has the equivalency of dedication and effort as a gamer that has 1 hp in a boss fight

Maybe Promise

The type of promise that comes from politicians or anybody on the the internet. Its a promise that has about a 50/50 chance of becoming true, usually when the promiser either will only complete their promise if they feel like it later, or when they are secretly hoping that the person/people they are promising will forget about the promise. Maybe Promises most commonly come from YouTubers, Redditors, or people named Casey. The chances of them completing the promise usually increase dramatically once the person/people they promised have the balls to pressure them, after they come to the realization that they are experiencing a Maybe Promise.
