To think this is one of the best stories about throwing out a cheating partner ever?

At school drop off this morning a friend was telling me a story about her sister.

She found out her husband was cheating a month ago with a much younger colleague. She kept her mouth shut, gathered evidence ect...

She also saved up a weeks worth of his shitty, skid marked boxers and delivered them to the door of the younger colleague last Friday, smiling sweetly and saying "seeing as you love my husband so much, his ability to follow through after a fart is now your problem" and walked away.

I think reality hit as apparently the husband has seen the error of his ways over the weekend after the glam young woman in her 20s didn't think much of his shitty boxers.

Unfortunately for him, my friends sister had also packed up all his stuff and had it delivered to his work as she doesn't want him now either Grin

I wish I'd thought of that with ex h.

That is FANTASTIC! God I wish I had done that. Except mine didn't leave me for another woman, I left him because he was an abusive twat. I should have delivered his skiddy undies to his mother and said she's welcome to have them back!

Love it we need more stories like this.

I split up with one weird needy controlling freak who used to masturbate in his sleep man after a fairly casual and relatively short relationship in our 20s. We stayed in touch but then I started seeing someone else. My ex found out, phoned me up and told me that he'd got chlamydia and it must have been me that gave it to him. This naturally triggered an uncomfortable conversation with my new BF and a visit to the clinic - where I was told that I had no STDs at all. Hmmm...

Soon after, my ex and I had to meet up to drop off some stuff of his that had been sitting in my shed. He let me into his flat where there was a woman sitting on the sofa in pyjama trousers, barefoot. Ex then made some nasty comments about my new car and me in general, she sniggered, so I smiled sweetly and said to him "By the way, my tests for chlamydia came back negative so it must have been someone else that gave it to you." She stopped sniggering. He was then forced to confess that he'd made up the accusation to try to split me up from my new man. No idea how well his new relationship progressed after that.

I actually disagree. Instead of dignified I think it makes her look vindictive and melodramatic, especially by involving his workplace. Instead of wasting my time planning revenge I would have booted him out instantly and got on with it.

NoodleOodle · 14/07/2014 11:55

I think the new gf getting his boxers was great. Agree with PiperRose that it's not very cool to involve work though.

Squidstirfry · 14/07/2014 11:56

Brilliant!!!!

Coughle · 14/07/2014 11:58

Agree with Piper. I'm sure it felt good but it wouldn't have been my style. Would have immediately bin bagged and booted. Makes a great story though!

Edieandkoala · 14/07/2014 12:03

I'm not sure what he does, but I know he's self employed so I think the stuff was sent to 'his' offices rather than an employer.

My friend has always had her doubts about her sisters husband, she's told me lots about how she worries for her.

She said she waited a month to gather what evidence she could and to sort financial stuff so she could make a clean break.

She was very happy that her sister had booted him out.

Good for her. It would have been exactly my style if I'd have thought of it (and if DH cheated and left skid marks on his boxers!).

And she was brilliant to remain calm and get information together during the intervening period.

Hardly vindictive and your allowed to be melodramatic when you find your husband cheating
