Has Someone Ever Promised You Something But Never Kept Their Promise?

In the late 1950’s, my ex husband Terry’s uncle was a train driver and he promised Terry and his brother a ride on his train. They were so excited but he never did carry out his promise.
The two boys were very disappointed and Terry never forgot it… he would mention it occasionally and say, how he’d have loved to have had a ride on his train.

So why do some people make promises and then never carry them out? Don’t they realise how disappointed the person would be?

Has anyone made a promise to you and broken it, or visa versa?

I’m sure they have but mostly trivial things.

I, sometimes, find that I have to remind them every week!

Lots of good songs about promises though.

Yes my wife promised to love,honour and obey at our wedding…I’ve never seen her honour or obey once in 51 years.

I don’t believe anything anyone says.

Actions speak louder than words.

I think seeing, is believing when promises are being made. This is because some, ‘Talk the Talk and Walk the Walk’!!

Most people have good intentions when it comes to promises.

Though what they say about intentions paving the way…

Could well be true.

Numerous builders and workman, who never turn up when they said they would!

Mups, They are the worst! I don’t know how they have the nerve to be so unreliable and get away with it!

My first lady of my heart. I thought we were good until she went of to Edinburgh Uni. I made my mind up we meshed together nicely, but while she was up in Edinburgh she changed and broke her promise. Some years later she married a research lobbyist and died aged 68 from cancer. We did stay friends though and she always sent be an advance copy of all her books which were inscribed to me.
A few years after I was dumped, I was proposed to by my present wife of coming up to 55yrs and she is still alive and kicking at 5yrs my junior :sparkling_heart::ok_hand::+1: For me it was 2nd time lucky :couple_with_heart:
