Heartbroken Man Waits 44 Hours To Buy The iPhone 6 In An Effort To Win Back His Wife

Darius Wlodarski waited for an incredible 44 hours to buy the latest iPhone for his wife. The couple split up a month ago and Darius is determined to fulfill his promise to himself to buy one for her. He does not expect the present will necessarily get them together again but hopes it will bring her some happiness.

That was sad.

Your thoughts?

She'll probably return it for the money.

Your thoughts?

If his wife sees him as a bad husband and father then the purchase of this phone will do nothing to change that. If it actually does change her mind then she's a bigger idiot than he is. Bought love is not real love. What a pathetic and stupid effort.

If I dumped a guy and he came back with some materialistic thing to try to win me back I would take that as a major insult. For him to think I would love him for what he can give me is no different than a slap to the face. For him to think my heart has a price tag is the biggest insult of all.

Good logic there, but she should at least appreciate the gesture even if it doesn't change her mind about the relationship. I'd appreciate it someone did that for me.

saddiest thing is she wanted a crapple in the first place!

What a waste of time on a ridiculous gesture. I mean, he could've been sitting out in front of her house with a love song playing on the stereo instead. Nah, I'm just kidding. Maybe he should've talk to her like a normal person. 'Cause now I think he's out a shit ton of money.

 

[Nebulous]

Well if they have kids, then making efforts to get on good terms is a good thing I guess.

 

[+paradox]

a lot of people don't really know what true love is, and being materialistic and trying to buy someone's love is never a great way to try to find and/or keep someone's love...

money doesn't buy you happiness, and i know a lot of people would say, "screw love, give me a billion dollars and i'll be happy forever", yeah, that's what you think...

true love is hard to find or come across...

just because someone is richer than a poor man, doesn't mean the rich guy would make a better partner, lover or soul-mate...

love should actually mean something, not the exchanges of gifts to keep yourselves happy to one another... no, do those lovely things that actually mean something and that's from the heart...

So. Shit husband. Shit father. Tries to prove he's not shit by spending two days in a tent so he can spend a minimum(!) of £539 on a phone.

How 'bout spending that money on marriage counselling? Buy something nice for your kids?

I hope his wife smashes it into pieces in front of him.

 

[~KAGE-008]

He couldn't understand the fact money can't buy love. If he bought the iPhone 6 just for that, that's also good for him since he can own it until it bends. Apple sucks anyway.

 

[Darth-Apple]

My feelings are mixed. To be honest, all I see is an honest guy trying to fulfill a promise to his wife of 20 years to buy something nice, and I always like to say it's the thought that counts. Then again, the video doesn't reveal much, we don't know that this is necessarily the case. I'll agree with what several people have already said that money won't buy love or recover a relationship. Those who think it will were either with the wrong person, or are pretty screwed up in the head themselves if they think it is going to get them far in the long term.

Without knowing any of the further details, this seems like a pretty sad situation from both sides. A breakup after 20 years of marriage can't be a light decision to make.

If he made this promise to her before they split then I can see the good in the act not because of the dollar amount but through the act of living up to a promise made even though he could have easily refused due to the situation he is in now. However this wasn't that and instead for all purposes looks like an attempt to buy love and is a clear sign that he has a lot to learn about love before getting into a new relationship with anyone. How is anyone to know he made this promise if it was only to himself? What is going to make anyone believe this is really selfless and not just an act of selfishness? I don't think he thought this all the way through to be honest.
