Sorry; some of those posts must be locked, I guess.
In summary: thanks to Pete outing himself as Spidey during the Civil War nonsense, Aunt May's house was burned to the ground and she was shot by a hitman hired by the Kingpin. She wasn't killed outright but she wasn't recovering, either. Mephisto, of all peoplebeings oblique stand-ins for the Christian devil, made an offer to change reality so that Pete's identity was never revealed, May was never shot, and (for some reason) Harry Osborn never died. The price was MJ and Peter's marriage, because apparently their love was so pure that Mephisto was really going to get off on taking it away.
