Vindictive acts of revenge when divorcing..

[TurtlePinky]

Inspired by reading the thread about the sentence that made you spilt up - got me thinking about some of the unbelievable things I've heard that men & women have done in revenge for their other halves leaving them. So I thought I'd ask, what random acts of divorce revenge have you seen/experienced/heard from either party?

I'll start. There was the woman in the news who put the contents of her dh's wine cellar out on the villages doorsteps like a milkman. I know of one person who literally cut the contents of the house in half. Half chest of drawers, half bed, half sofa etc. But the most vindictive was the chap who had his wife's car crushed (which she depended on for work) and had the crushed cube delivered back to her driveway.

Any more?

Mine put all my belongings on the local Facebook for sale page or local charity shop. I remember walking past and seeing my wedding dress in the window. I didn’t even get a teaspoon from the house. Let alone any of the children’s things.

OP, the stories you quote are famous ones which were widely covered in the press at the time. Are you by any chance a Daily Mail journo looking for material for a new story in a quiet news week?

I'm going to have to name change after this...

I wrote on the mattress in marker pen

'Happy Fucking, Nicola'

Lol @jeezerwheezer1974 that’s brilliant!

I know! I also considered getting one of those invisible pens to write a glow in the dark message above the bed (I left the house and assume they slept together there after that)

I also wrote a few things on things, like on the River Cottage Family cookbook, I crossed out the word Family, and replaced it with Lying Cheating Bastard. Childish but satisfying.

My ex wrote crytic messages in my books for me to find years later. Some were not so cryptic like 'lots of love to you, you misanthropic twat'

Mine threw my passport in the bin. I retrieved it because he had form for chucking my things away.

Not a divorce but Backed my 4wd truck into the driver’s side of his Hyundai excel lol

@jeezwheezer1974 meet @alonelonelyloner

I think you guys might have met

I took all 8 of the remote controls

The only lastingly satisfying way of taking revenge is to go on and live your life as well as you possibly can (and make sure they never stop knowing it).

A friend of mine shipped her cheating exH's 20,000 strong vinyl collection to his brother's house on the other side of the world. Shipping costs paid on collection
To his credit he took the act with humility, they are good friends and laugh about it now

Shagged a couple of her mates. Pissed her right off.

Oh, and the guy she cheated on me with - I literally fucked his mum.

This had daily mail all over it.

A woman was married to a police officer, he cheated on her, she found out.

She did nothing for several months, then arranged for the whole family to go swimming. In the middle of the local council swimming pool, she approached her husband and explained that she knew all about the affair (which was still going on). She proceeded to tell him that it wasn't just icing sugar which was sprinkled on the doughnut she packed into his lunch every day. That several small bags were also hidden in his car, and there was even a stash in his office at home.

He was to leave the pool and go straight to her solicitor and sign the divorce papers she had already drawn up. He was signing over literally everything to her, house, savings, pension, he was going to be left with nothing. Not even his job.

If he didn't comply, she was going to phone up his force and report him for domestic abuse, saying he was a secret drug user and she just couldn't take his abuse anymore.

The drugs would be in his system for months, he might have been able to find the ones she hid, but he could do nothing about what he had already "taken".

I believe he did what he was told.

My ex moved the OW into our house while I was on holiday. He also gave me an STI.

When I got back and collected my stuff some weeks later (neither of them were there) I pissed or spat in every open container in the house - shampoo, hand soap, washing up liquid, everything. I also brushed the (clean) loo with their toothbrushes.

I know it's gross and extremely out of character for me but I figured he (actually both of them, she knew all about me as we'd met before) was a disgusting person so he bloody well deserved it. Still makes me smile to think about it.

I don’t believe either of these

I know someone who hid a dead dish in the airing cupboard

*fish

I moved out and refused to entertain any more of his bullshit. He’s still furious.

I was happy and lived a good life.

This thread leaves a really bad taste. We're talking about criminal acts in some case. And misogynist in one case. Fucking nasty.

My former colleague put prawns in the curtain poles and under floor boards. His house reaked. She was arrested for criminal damage but it was dropped.

agree with @MrsTerryPratchett the best revenge is getting on with your life.

I know I had all sorts of scenarios of revenge playing out in my imagination with my ex, but I didn't act on them..karma and all that. They really aren't worth it.

Most of these are urban myths, heard so many times before. And they just sound so nasty.

what's to be gained, even momentarily?

I'd love to 'exact revenge' on my abusive ex by living a great life, and showing everything's worked out much better without him. Unfortunately, he's skipping fancy-free having the time of his life, and I am constantly struggling, managing kids, full-time job, financial worries. BUT I am still better off without him and one day this will be more apparent in terms of my own quality of living!

I agree, I think some of these are awful! I could possibly stretch to taking the remote control though
