It’s unlikely that any of us can accurately foresee the consequences of our actions.
Even if our motives seem good, things often spiral out of control.
We might attempt to apologize to the individual or find humor in the situation, but occasionally, the outcome is inevitable.
Story 1:
I had a friend. She was brought up by her great-aunt and lived with her. Her life was hard, and she was always depressed.
I felt sorry for her. I wanted to make her happy.
I was away on her birthday, so I bought her a present in advance and asked my husband to give it to her. He brought it, I was online at the time, and saw everything.
My husband handed the present to her and left immediately.
A month later she texted me that she fell in love with my husband and to make her happy I should leave him for her. And then she started threatening me. I will never deal with people like her anymore! © Overheard / Ideer
Story 2:
My uncle took me and my brother in because he wanted us to get a good education.
My mom and dad agreed, as they knew that my uncle would be able to give us a better shot at making something of ourselves.
My uncle’s intentions were good. However, my uncle’s wife made our lives hell. She basically mistreated us and my uncle was unable to do anything about it.
So his inaction made him complicit.
Even through the hardships, my brother and I still managed to get an education, but my uncle’s reputation was affected negatively. Family members don’t see him the same way, and his wife is really disliked (to put it mildly). It started with good intentions, but it didn’t end well for my uncle. © ksoss1 / Reddit
