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

I wasn't expecting him to keep his promise, until he gave me a gamer promise.

Promises

A Premeditated Lie;
●Deliberate words of manipulation and hidden motives to suit one's own agenda.
●False hope inflicting emotional, psychological, and mental anguish.

Your promises are merely a waste of your breath and my time if your actions are showing me something else.

DHA promise

DHA promises are even more powerful then the River Styx. If you break this promise, your bones will break. This promise is most likely going to be directed towards a best friend. Diapers, Hangers, and Alabama. So whenever you swear in DHA, you’re promising on Diapers, Hangers, and Alabama. So the next time you promise to your friend about something, to make sure it’s official, promise on DHA

I DHA promise not to donkeyspiddle all over your diapers, hangers, and the state of Alabama.
