#24: Bro Code Breaker
Love can be a complex and unpredictable emotion, and it can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes that hurt others. The poster shared a story about their grandmother, who was dating someone who went off to war. Before leaving, this young man had asked his fraternity brother to “look after” her in his absence. However, the poster’s grandfather ended up doing much more than that – he fell in love with her.
While it’s unclear exactly how it happened, it’s clear that the grandfather stole the grandmother’s heart while her actual boyfriend was away. This situation undoubtedly caused hurt and betrayal, especially to the young man who trusted his friend to look after his girlfriend. However, it’s also a reminder that love can’t always be controlled, and that sometimes, people end up falling for someone unexpected. Despite the difficult circumstances, the grandmother and grandfather chose to be together and build a life together, even if it meant sacrificing a friendship along the way.
