What's the most crazy Post-Breakup thing you've ever done?

I'm sure we could all do with a laugh but I want to know what the most crazy thing you've done post break up because 8 years on and I'm still cringing from what I did 🤣🤭

So bit of back story, my ex dumped me after I'd gone on his phone as felt something was up and to my suprise I was 100% correct! Flirty text messages back and forth to a work colleague. Dumped me because "I couldn't trust him / Nothing was happening, we're just friends / He shouldnt be with someone who cant trust him 100%"

Anyway so I'm devastated! This was my first long term relationship (almost 5 years) and I was utterly heartbroken (was 23 at the time) - the kind of heartbroken where you can't listen to love songs, don't want to get out of bed, eyes puffy as hell.

(This isn't relevant to the story below but another crazy thing I would do, I was logged into his Spotify and whenever a song would play - It would show up on my phone, and I'd sit there and change it to a song that would remind him of me 🤣😩😩)

Anyway onto the actual main story 😆🤣

I worked out that I could view any pictures or screenshots he had on his phone as his Google drive was connected to my phone (he'd connected it to my google drive about a year before we broke up - god knows why) so I was able to see alot, and the more I was seeing, the more crazy it was making me, I saw his nudes that he was sending his colleague, I saw their WhatsApp screenshots that he'd been sending his friend, pretty much everything, saw all their cute little days out and dates that he'd taken pictures of 🤣 I didn't realise until I'd seen the media on his phone they were then seeing eachother after we broke up.

Anyway I'd informed my best friend of this and she found it hilarious that I was able to see absolutely everything going on in his life. One day there was a juicy screenshot of the two of their messages of them having an argument that he must have sent his best friend (a mutual friend of mine also before the breakup) and without thinking I thought "I HAVE to send this to my friend". Took a screenshot and sent it to her over Facebook messenger and didn't think anything of it.

A day or so later, I got a message out of the blue from ex's best friend asking if I'd like to go to the pub with him for a catch up. Didn't think it was odd as I went to college with the guy and we were very close and would hang out and I thought maybe he just wants to find out how I'm doing since the breakup...

Got to the pub and he's sat there at the table and I go over and sit down and suddenly I'm joined by ex 🤣 it was a trap! He grabbed my phone and asked if I had anything to tell him, I denied everything and threatened to cause a scene in the pub. He then sat there and said my Facebook was still logged in on his computer (Bullsht) and he saw a message pop up (again Bullsht) and then saw the screenshot and knew I was somehow viewing his media on his phone.

The jig was up - I'd been rumbled 🤣 I was sooo embarrased, he was on the verge of tears as obviously I'd seen alot that was very private (now I realise how truly horrible it must have been to have someone viewing all your private things), he made me log out of his Google drive and that was that 🤣 we spoke for a while and had a good catch up with our friend and for a couple of months after we actually stayed in touch and met up once in a while. It turned out it all went to sh*t with the girl from work, she wasn't interested as much anymore now he was single and open to a new relationship.

Looking back I cannot believe how awful it must have been for him but in all fairness - he was looking in on my Facebook messages too so must have guessed my password to get in 🤣

Please tell me someone else has a story that makes them cringe when they think about it? Every now and again I'll be trying to sleep and I'll be lying there like omg I can't believe I did that 🤣 I'm now 31, dated alot more men and currently in a very happy stable relationship of 2 years.

I'd been with an ex bf and I found out he'd cheated on me with a someone. So I slept with his handsome older brother at a house party while my then cheating bf slept on the floor right next to us... I woke him up, told him what we'd just done and I walked out. Never seen him again. Felt good at the time but looking back, I was a right B...for doing that. Proper cringe

You could call that pre breakup cringe 😫

SunsetStrip · 13/02/2023 02:53

Got back with him... utter madness!

Are you sure he was asleep? Hmm I don’t know, some brothers might have enjoyed that as some enjoy that kind of thing ie. “sharing a girl “ as they may see it.

Bf when I was 18 was horribly abusive and controlling. Really nasty piece of work.

He wanted me to get pregnant the entire time we were together and I thank my lucky stars today that it didn't happen. He said it was because he was adopted (which I don't actually believe) and he wanted his own baby, but I'm pretty sure it was a control tactic.

Anyway, I finally leave him, but he's still hovering around and pretending to be nice until one day in January (this is relevant) we end up sleeping together and we decide to try again. A few days later I find out he is with another girl and has been for a while. So I cut all contact. Until April 1st. I phone him and his mum picks up, telling me he is on holiday with his girlfriend. So I tell her I'm 3 months pregnant.

Queue him phoning from holiday all shocked about the great news. I told him it was an April fool's joke and switched my phone off. He phoned my work and the receptionist told him that I had gone home 'sick'. She was my friend.

Him and his mum blew my phone up for about a week which I ignored, but for that week they were not sure if I was or wasn't. His mum was as evil as he was, so I didn't really care.

Some days I feel quite satisfied about what I'd done and some days I cringe. To this day he is still the only person I've ever met that I would probably hit with my car if I ever saw him again.

omg that sounds like an absolutely horrendous relationship to be in. So sorry you went through that 😔

To be honest we all go through a bit of madness after a breakup and can understand your reasoning behind it to hit him where it hurts since he was so awful to you!

Hope you are doing much better now and in a much happier place xx
