oh holy crap I wish I could un see that.

no wonder really he didn't tell her where he was going! that's not normal behaviour.

ISeeYouShiverWithAntici · 13/02/2014 17:42

I am not excusing the cheating part but if she is someone who will take a scalpel to her body and slice a bit off and post it to someone, i can see why he told her he was moving to Alaska! Sweet jesus.

PiratesLifeForMe · 13/02/2014 17:44

Ugh just read about this, made me feel sick. Stupid stupid woman.

No wonder he told her he was moving to Alaska. I know it said he'd been cheating but I wonder if he was just too damn scared to ditch the psycho!

expatinscotland · 13/02/2014 17:46

Yak. What a weirdo.

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 13/02/2014 17:46

OMG, unbelievableShock

If I were him, I would be moving to Alaska! Bloody hell, that's not normal behaviour!

Innogen · 13/02/2014 17:47

Whys it stupid?

Yes it's weird to post it, but it's her skin to cut off. Can't get wound up about what an autonomous person does to their own body.

RayPurchase · 13/02/2014 17:52

I don't get how its revenge though? She is the one with a sore arm!

ISeeYouShiverWithAntici · 13/02/2014 17:58

mutilating yourself and sending bits of yourself to someone you feel wronged by is not normal behaviour. I don't think anyone is wound up so much as really rather taken aback.

I also don't think chavveling bits out of yourself and posting it to someone is likely to make them think gosh, clearly I made a huge error of judgement leaving this person because they're totally fine in all ways. It's just going to make them think perhaps they really should go to alaska after all.

Yeah, it's her body to do with as she likes but posting bits of yourself to someone really crosses a line.

Bogeyface · 13/02/2014 17:59

She is clearly into body mod, so I dont suppose she feels the same about cutting off a lump of skin as I would. She has horn implants ffs!

ISeeYouShiverWithAntici · 13/02/2014 18:02

holy crap.

I thought they were boils! Blush

Or perhaps somewhere further than Alaska.

Chippednailvarnish · 13/02/2014 18:14

I don't think my ex wants some pieces of my stretch marks to remember me by Grin

Bogeyface · 13/02/2014 18:27

If I was going to send my ex anything I would send him a pigs arse with "I saw this and thought of you" tattoo'd on it :o

bodygoingsouth · 13/02/2014 18:45

Grin bogey and chippin the woman needs help and I think he wanted to escape. don't blame him.

NinjaBunny · 13/02/2014 18:48

How fresh was it when it arrived?

Confused

Post is pretty slow. Bits of skin dry up quickly..!

FrankieStien · 13/02/2014 18:51

Couldn't she just get it lasered off or something.

Pumpkinpositive · 13/02/2014 18:57

Oh God, I can hardly breathe. Only the woman who performed a DIY C-section on herself aided by a bottle of whiskey tops this. Shock

Bogeyface · 14/02/2014 00:08

FrankieStien

Yes she could, that would be the sensible option. However, I think that we can safely assume that any woman who thought that having "horns" implanted into her head is not going to pick the sensible option.

Bogeyface · 14/02/2014 00:09

Pumpkin WTAF?!

I missed that! Linky please!

KipperTheFish · 14/02/2014 00:22

I think having a tattoo saying that you are someone's 'bitch' is very sad.

And surely sending bits of yourself in the post is pathological.

Amethyst24 · 14/02/2014 00:25

But wait. Did she post it to Alaska? And if so, who opened the parcel? Confused

Bogeyface · 14/02/2014 01:00

Given that she had a tattoo as his "bitch" (I agree, a whole other issue there) she invested far more into this than he did.

Hopefully this has taught her that a tattoo is for life, when a relationship may not be.

FrankieStien · 14/02/2014 07:00

Maybe his OW can get one that says "Chopper's new bitch".
