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.

Promise

A girl who is very pretty but doesn't believe it herself. She is usually a girly girl who plays sports. She wears tons and tons of makeup but doesn't need it. Even though her name is Promise it doesn't mean she can keep a promise.

Look at that girl over there, she must be a promise.
