15 people share the most f**ked up thing their ex did after a breakup.

Breakups are not for the faint of heart, and this applies even more so if your ex is vindictive or prone to lashing out.

It's completely natural and healthy to have a strong emotional reaction to a breakup. Our brains are going through a chemical withdrawal when we split from a partner, and in many cases we have to fundamentally rebuild our daily lives.

Not to mention the fact that not all breakups are mutually decided, which leaves one former partner feeling scorned and rejected.

Countless songs have been written about the deep rage, sadness, and unhinged breakdowns that follow a separation for good reason.

In a popular Ask Reddit thread, people shared the most f**ked up thing an ex did after the breakup, and it confirms musicians aren't the only ones completely losing it in the name of love.

1. From SpaceShipET:

Said she was pregnant and sent me a positive test. I searched positive pregnancy test results on Google imagines…it was the first one to pop up.

2. From :Shoddy_Emu_5211:

Cheated on me, refused to sign the divorce papers, so I had to pay an attorney thousands more to show up to court.

Showed up to court, judge asked: kids? No. Shared property? No. Bank accounts? No significant money in them.

Judge literally asked, 'why are you here?' I pointed at her, he sighed, signed the divorce and said 'next case'. Thousands of dollars for literally two minutes of court time.

3. From EssEyeOhFour:

I had an ex make a MySpace page about how I’m a f*cking loser. I already knew that, but I just thought it was rude.

4. From Elegant-Ninja-8166:

I left my wife when she threatened me with a 6' kitchen knife because she was stressed by our 11-year-old son's homework.

Four weeks later when I collected the last of my things from our house she looked upstairs and seductively said 'do you want to come upstairs for a f*ck?'

In the 18 years we had been together she has never said anything like this before.

That was a definite 'No!'

5. From Astgte18:

Binned my passport as it wasn’t hers ??‍♂️

6. From soon_zoo55:

Take out a credit card in my name, go to Greece, and rack up $6K in charges in my name the stick me with it.

7. From emshlaf:

Immediately started dating the girl he swore he wasn’t cheating on me with.

8. From easygoinggirlie:

Hung my dog off a balcony. He is okay now.

9. From feochampas:

My ex gave away my dog on craigslist so I couldn't find her.

I had two dogs. she claimed one ran away and the other she gave away on craigslist.

I never found either. it's been over ten years and I still check the humane society for them both. We had a fight so I went to my sister's to cool off. I didn't bring my dogs because my sister had cats and my dogs were not good with small animals.

I was working with a doctor to get them listed as emotional support animals so I could get an apartment with them.

10. From Metall3x:

She started banging a 60-year-old dude (she was 27 at the time) who was married. Wife finds out, wife killed herself.

She went to the funeral as his 'emotional support.'

11. From slo196:

We had gotten a credit card with both our names on it. After we split up, she went to town and ran it up to the limit and never paid a dime on it.

They came after me for the money. I told them we were divorced and actually got a helpful lady at the credit card company who told me if I could send a copy of the divorce decree I would only be responsible for the amount up to that day.

I sent it in and my part was less than $100. I paid it leaving my ex with about $10K to pay. I’m sure she never did.

12. From carthous:

She texted me saying that she's listening to our love song and that she misses me. We chatted a bit and everything went well.

I sent her some flowers and chocolates the next day through the mail. She sent the cops to my house the day after that with assault with a weapon charges.

13. From PicklePucker:

Broke into my apartment in the middle of the night, waking me up with a butcher knife to my throat. Assaulted me and then held me captive for two hours until he finally passed out and I escaped.

I had to go into hiding for a year waiting for his trial. He did get a 6 year prison term and has to register for life a sex offender.

14. From SnooStories2744:

She f*cked a couple friends of mine and then fucked a guy I really don’t like. Then, during visits to the home so I could see my children, she would play a little game where she’d allude to having f*cked someone I know.

Then she’d slowly add more details and then let a name slip and go “oops haha I shouldn’t have said that.”

I just wanted to see my kids. I didn’t want to hear or even THINK about what she was doing, yet here she is saying “sooo I might have met someone you apparently know…and we miiight have hooked up, but it’s fine you don’t know him that well.”

She was really good at playing mind games like this.

15. From Realitybytes_:

One of my co-workers dated a local girl on assignment (we were sent from London to Portugal for 6 months), this was back in 2008. Anyways, when it was time to head back to London, he asked her to come with him, he gave her money for flights, etc.

Come moving day, she arrived at his apartment with her mother, her sister AND her boyfriend.

When he obviously freaked out and broke up with her, she st*bbed him in the cheek with a pen and tried to steal his cat (she wouldn't let him close the door and tried calling to the cat, so either wanted to steal the cat or for the cat to run away).

He was obviously shaken up by this, and once he'd gotten rid of her, he went to hospital to get looked at, she apparently came back to the apartment and convinced the building manager to let her in.

When he got back he had to call the police, as she'd basically moved her family in. Following that debacle, she tried putting him up on rape charges in Portugal when she returned home.
