I was thinking about sentences that can tell the entire story on their own. I have 2 common examples:

So, I started to play WOW
My husband was 20 older than me

I can already tell how is gonna develop and end. What other sentences you know that have this effect?

"... and then he told me I should be a stay at home wife, and I accepted, we had 5 kids after we initially agreed to only have one but he pressured me, we moved to his hometown where I knew no one, he controlled all of my finances, after 12 years of marriage I confronted him for cheating on me but he always denied it, until I found his second family but I couldn't leave him because I had no money of my own and lived far away from my family, then he became physically abusive and telling me that I was nothing without him, I needed help to leave him but im still fighting in court over child support and shared custody, but he is now with his third family and refuses to pay for nothing, I should have left him a long while ago but I couldn't see the red flags and even my family thought at the time it was a bad idea to marry him but they knew I wouldn't listen because I was 20 and naïve"

I've seen so many cases with different variations.

Well, we’re gay, I’m the breadwinner and no fighting over custody of anyone.
