Ghosted... slightly petty revenge

354 replies

Nickynackynoodle · 04/02/2020 14:28

I've been ghosted by someone I had quite a long relationship with, long story short he's met someone super cool and fucked off with her, quite literally overnight. She's very well connected and is helping him with his future business plans which are admittedly very exciting.

I'm pretty pissed off (and heartbroken) as I have been essentially used for the last 12 months in a number of ways so... I have bought the www. domain names and set up social media accounts in the names that he was planning to use for his exciting business.

I probably ABU but I have long evenings alone now when I used to have someone in my life, I'm being highly self disciplined in not contacting him... I'm enjoying seeing him look at the banal stuff I'm posting on insta, trying to work out who's stolen his names.

If he tries to buy the domain names I will absolutely sell them and not at a profit, same as if he asks for the social media names. I just vainly hope that he will realise life won't always go his way because he's so fucking handsome and charming.

I'm getting over it btw, I don't want relationship advice!

"YEah, you dont stop loving someone because they turned out to be a cunt. Sometimes the hearts feelings take a while to catch up with what the head knows."

That's exactly why what the OP is doing makes no sense.

Nickynackynoodle · 04/02/2020 22:20

@NotALurker2 finished troll hunting?

Actually it makes perfect sense when you acknoweldge that love and hate are flip sides of the same coin.

@TwentyViginti

Sadly, no. However, if you go to advanced search and put in 'lawn' and 'sausages' as two search terms you will find a few threads mentioning this trick. :)

NotALurker2 · 04/02/2020 23:22

@Nickynackynoodle Sorry I'm not telling you what you want to hear. That doesn't make me a troll.

In any event, I'll leave you to it now.

SnappedAndFarted18 · 04/02/2020 23:24

Admittedly I haven’t read through the whole thread yet but going off your original post you’re a bloody legend lmao I bet he’s proper raging 😂😂🤣🤣

Buggedandconfused · 04/02/2020 23:32

Awesome work OP!

user1470132907 · 04/02/2020 23:44

Very clever but charge a profit! Aside from revenge, it’s canny business!

user1470132907 · 04/02/2020 23:47

BTW suddenly ghosting after 12 months together is horrible. I cannot imagine doing that to someone unless I had tried to end things every normal way but they wouldn’t leave me alone

CoupeCourte · 04/02/2020 23:54

I always love the posters on here who come along with a "oh what you've done just validates why he did it in the first place"

  1. It's backward, abuser logic - "your reaction to the shitty thing I did retrospectively justifies the shitty thing I did".
  2. As if OP cares what this cunt thinks of her! I wouldn't place any value in the opinions of scum like this guy. He's a cheat and a coward, his view of OP is worth the same as he is- less than zero.

This is smart and funny revenge. Well done OP. Let him waste his money on a lawyer if he's too thick to come up with a new business name should he ever progress his little idea outside of his brain.

SmellyBeard · 05/02/2020 00:31

Well done OP.

I'm so sorry you're heartbroken - what a horrible thing to see on social media. He is a cruel man.

GinnyStrupac · 05/02/2020 02:25

Like a pp, I also think it would be a good way to raise money for charity.

AquaAquaAir · 05/02/2020 03:33

Make money when you sell them on.., why not

Patroclus · 05/02/2020 06:31

euuuug fed up of those who are happy to be walked all over demanding everbody else do the same. If you treat somebody like dirt, expect a reaction.

shalligoagain · 05/02/2020 13:11

I'm with you OP, he deserves everything he gets (within reason and I think you've acted reasonably in your heartbroken state)

blowmebaloney · 05/02/2020 16:19

I am agog at all the people still egging on the OP. It is good if you have not done anything worse, OP, such as damaging property or sending outrightly abusive messages, well done for that.

grudieabbey · 05/02/2020 16:49

Sorry - but that’s fucking HILARIOUS. I smirked reading that. Smart on your part - you serve your dishes ice cold. Nice work. Grin

suggestionsplease1 · 05/02/2020 17:07

Nice one OP. I had a similar traumatic breakup, albeit on a longer timescale that yours....but OW which was not disclosed.

She contacted me a few short weeks after the breakup to say she had bought some things on Amazon and the money had accidentally come out of our former joint bank account rather than her own bank account.

Unfortunately for her my chromebook had stored her Amazon login details and opened up her account when I went to the the Amazon site. I saw a few things that she had bought - and her new address complete with the name of the owner of said house... which was indeed the suspected, but much denied, OW.

I could see she had been buying some nice housewarming gifts for herself in her new abode - some kitchen scales, a wine rack and I thought I would like to get her and her new girlfriend something nice as well.

I thought to myself 'well they've got a few kitchen things but how about I get them a book?' And I spent some time thinking of the subject matter that would appeal to them both and found a wonderful book called 'Why you Lie, Cheat and Deceive' by Dr Lelan Benton. I hope they both enjoyed it. Grin

Lol FGS, all she did was buy a domain name, she hasn't torched his house. What a ridiculous overreaction

Nickynackynoodle · 05/02/2020 17:32

"We" were saving to buy a flat together, I have one already which we were going to rent out. I've been working soooo hard to save a deposit!! Now I don't want a flat, I have nearly £30k saved up in my premium bonds. Plus a bit of art to sell that's probably worth a grand or so. Not quite sure what to do with it now... might invest it or pay it off my mortgage? Or I could buy somewhere to let out? Hmm. Not like I'm going to need the extra space to bring up the kids we discussed is it.

Got a final parcel of (quite valuable) memories to send to him on Monday then that's hopefully him largely out of my immediate environment.

@suggestionsplease1 I like your style.

@NotALurker2 disagreeing with people doesn't get your posts deleted like troll hunting does. Learn a lesson there.

@blowmebaloney any comment on him or is it just me who's a baddy?

RightRoundLikeARecord · 05/02/2020 17:42

Why send the parcel? You don't owe him anything. Let him come get it.
What's in the parcel? Anything we can play around with?

MillennialPink · 05/02/2020 17:47

Nice one! Glad you're getting over it too.

Nickynackynoodle · 05/02/2020 17:48

@RightRoundLikeARecord haha. No. It's some sentimental stuff that he gave me, some from from his family, I can't bring myself to Chuck it so I'm going to post it to his sister for him. No note etc. I don't want to keep it and I can't sell it so it seems like the right thing to do.

I'm not totally vindictive or deranged or whatever pps have said. Wink

OP, lurker's post wasn't troll hunting - I saw it before it was deleted. She didn't say you were trolling, did she? She said something else, and it was the something else which was the reason why it was deleted, and MN are not consistent with deleting similar messages, but you had drawn it to their attention and they obviously thought it was fair to delete. I think you referring to it now is somewhat disingenuous and bizarre given that after you got it deleted?
