worse break up ever!

light hearted, but please share your break up stories, if you feel you can:

i went full physco on my ex after he was caught cheating, not with 1 woman, but with 5!

I dumped all his belongings at the end of the drive, in the pooring rain, along with thousands of pounds worth of his fishing tackle. I advertised all prized Koi karp on free cycle and gave them away, i emptied his Koi karp pond and filled it with all the crap he didn't retrieve from the drive and then buried it under a tonne of top soil and i refused to give him his PS4 back purely and simply because i knew that was one of the one things he really wanted!

In my defence, he did chase me round the house one day with a shotgun and tried to run me over with his car!!

i did feel better afterwards

God, I couldn't be arsed. I think that much negativity just makes your own resentment last longer.

When I got dumped at 18 I was an absolute state! I didn't sleep for months afterwards and when I did all I dreamt about was that we were back together. All I did was drive around all night, every night, trying to see if I could see him through any pub windows or park down the road from his house just so I could see him.
I ended up on massive doses of anti depressants and suicidal. I would beg and beg him to take me back over text message daily and post him letters constantly. I would park near to his work and just bawl for hours on end most days! How I didn't get arrested for my behaviour I really don't know! I am so embarrassed of my behaviour looking back!
And I saw him a couple of years ago and honestly I don't know what I saw in him! He was stood outside a supermarket wearing a baseball cap with his Nike air maxes on, smoking a fag at almost 50 years old! I'm so ashamed of 18 year old me!!!

'It was my TV by the way' cracked me up for some reason 😬

Bloody hell OP! And I thought I was a bitch for taking the quiche dish that I had just bought and he loved!

PashaMinaMio · 12/09/2024 23:12

I’m loving this thread. It’s lifted my spirits no end.
Breaking up at any age is absolutely awful so I’m cheered up by your stories.
More please.

XH no.1 - cheated on me as I was having a miscarriage. I left and stayed with my parents for a few days, went back and had a conversation where he told me he wanted a divorce. I can picture him clear as day, even now, 30yrs later. He was wearing his manky dressing gown, nothing else, and his tiny cock was all shrivelled up and trying to hide in embarrassment as he manspread 😆

He said I could take everything from the house, he wanted nothing. So, that's what I did. Everything apart from his clothes and toiletries when he was at work. The house was negative equity at the time.

I may have cleaned the loo before I left (with his toothbrush), may have added a splash of weedkiller to his all important aftershave and I may have rubbed all of his underpants in the loft insulation.

In subsequent years, I heard, second hand, of other stories of him. The best one was he was about to marry again, but the woman heard he was cheating on her with a woman in the US. She told the US lady. He turned up to the wedding only to be jilted, then he asked US woman to marry him and she told him where to go as well! These were told via his uncle. His uncle was so ashamed of him.

I was very briefly married during my early twenties. Sadly, he was verbally abusive and cheated on me numerous times. I was devastated and moved out. A week later I went back to collect my stuff on a Sunday morning. He'd already changed the locks and he was there with his friend, both looked hungover and had obviously been clubbing the night before, making references to what a great time they'd had, women they'd met etc. His friend, who up until then had always been just a polite visitor, had really made himself at home in my absence and I'd only been gone a week! I was very upset when I went upstairs to find all my things dumped in black bin bags and my ex laughingly told me that his mate had just been through all my dressing table drawers, wardrobe etc and pulled everything out and stuffed it all into black bin bags. I felt violated. Then, on the corner of my dressing table, I noticed a massive bunch of keys, so I decided to scoop those up into the black bin bags too and take them with me. I can't tell you how many times my ex phoned me later that day, begging that I return his mate's keys as he couldn't get into his car or house without them and was now stranded at our house. In fact, it was the most attentive my ex had been towards me in ages and, of course, I told him I didn't know what he was talking about, I told him his friend must have mislaid them whilst he was busy rooting through all my personal stuff. To me, his friend became fair game when he involved himself in the end of our marriage!

Sadmamatoday · 12/09/2024 23:46

Ha ha I love it. I would like to chop all his clothes up DH cheated as well as put huge scratches on his car 🤣

StrongbutTired00 · 12/09/2024 23:59

I found out exH was having an affair when I was 6 months pregnant. He didn’t know I knew. He was a big drinker and I got some metronidazole from a friend who hadn’t finished her course (the only antibiotic you can’t drink alcohol on) I spiked his food and drink with these and he was squirting from both ends when he got drunk. I also wanted to plant Japanese knotweed in his garden to grow into the foundations of the house he owned and prevent him selling but I couldn’t get my hands on any so that fell through.

BigTubOfLard · 13/09/2024 06:48

I knew his passwords so I took over his Facebook account and email addresses. I then closed his Facebook account (it takes 30 days just so you know) and never let on it was me.

He was an abusive alcoholic who cleaned me out financially and sold every bit of furniture in MY rented house when I fled with the clothes on my back and one small bag of stuff (lost my deposit too) as he didn't pay rent and was evicted). I have a good life and my own home now 💋

WhiteTowel · 13/09/2024 08:24

Mine feels pretty tame now 😂 he was pretty short and had quite a big nose so i signed his email address up for every short man clothes website, height extending surgery consultations, nose job, nose contours.

My 17 year old self also put snooker balls in a sock and smashed my first boyfriends car windows and scratched all the paint off his new car. He then stole my car 😅😂

Snowdrops17 · 13/09/2024 08:26

So he is in jail now though right ?
