Everybody likes a cute surprise or gesture from their loved ones. But while these gestures can be really endearing and even romantic, there are also times that people fail miserably in expressing just how much they love their partner.

Open Sesame!

Cooking for your special person hits differently. However, you need to watch out for the ingredients that you end up using, otherwise, all that effort just sort of goes to waste. This particular lady had a lovely night planned upon her fiancé's return from a business trip. However, a splash of sesame ruined it all.

Make a Wish!

Who doesn't like spending a beautiful evening with their loved ones, especially if it's our loved one's birthday? Then, we really tend to go all out to make the occasion even more special. What's more romantic than going on a drive and eating cake under the stars?

This girl here thought of such a surprise for the guy she was seeing. She just wanted to put a smile on his face with the candles and cake she bought for his birthday. Little did she know that she mistakenly purchased trick candles that just wouldn't blow out. Whoops.

V-Day Betrayal

It's heartbreaking to learn that a loved one has betrayed your trust. This girl wanted to surprise her boyfriend by getting him a romantic personalized card for Valentine's Day. Instead of shocking her boyfriend, she faced a great shock herself when she found out about her boyfriend's shameful acts.

Even if her boyfriend had been going behind her back for quite a while, we're at least happy that she found out. It's always better late than never.

Journal Trouble

Having your parents find out about your love life is one thing, but having a parent read all about your intimate moments? Oh, goodness gracious!

If just the thought of it gives you the chills, imagine what this OP went through when her boyfriend's mother read an entire journal that had everything about their lives written in it. Talk about embarrassing! We hope the couple had enough courage to talk things out.
