Mephisto offered a deal to Peter and Mary Jane. In exchange for his aunts life, he wants Peter and Mary Jane to sacrifice their love, any acknowledgement that they have for one another will be gone. It will always feel like something is missing but they will never again have love for each other and will not remember the deal they have made.

Man why do they always have to try and screw up Spiderman?

They have until the next issue. Mephisto wants this because without Mary Jane as a ground, Peter will loose his soul to evil in the long run. He could just as easily traded Mays health for his soul but he stated he wants Peter to loose his soul on his own will and not by a deal.

That's a pretty weak way for JMS to exit. But Mephisto only wins these deals half the time - loopholes can be found.
Here's hoping Secret Invasion corrects this.
I won't say I saw this coming, but it makes a lot of sense.
Joe Q is on record many times for saying that marrying Pete to MJ killed off a lot of the drama that can come about with an active and variable love life for a hero. But it wasn't something he could change, he said, because it wouldn't be in character for Pete...
...but he found a way around that. So Pete doesn't look evil for leaving MJ for some arbitrary reason, and Quesada gets his chance to add some variance to Pete's romantic interests (down the road, of course).

Yup peter was just waiting to get rid of mj so he could have an orgy.
Not that, obviously, but if you look back at early stuff (ASM #1 through maybe 300) he had multiple love interests (Gwen, Felicia, Betty Brant, random school girls, etc.) and added angst from the love life. I think Joe Q was tired of how familiar and comfortable the relationship with MJ was.
