Story Time: People Are Sharing How They Got Petty, Delicious Revenge On Their Exes

This woman psychologically tormented her cheating boyfriend and best friend before embarrassing them publicly.

“I (28F) was dating Max (29M) for five years. We lived together, shared finances, had two dogs, etc. My best friend Amy (28F) lived 10 minutes away, so we were always with each other. We were pretty much the three musketeers.

One day, I’m scrolling on Instagram, and I see my boyfriend in the background of a picture posted to our local bar’s page. He was supposed to be at work, and I’d never been given a reason not to trust him, so I figured it was an older picture as we go there a couple times a month. But when he got home, he was wearing the same blue button-up and jeans. I had a horrible feeling in my stomach, but I didn’t say anything.

That night, I went through his phone; yeah, yeah, I know, but idc. We’ve always shared passwords and have never had an issue with using each other’s phones. When I checked his messages, I saw a chain with someone named ‘Jack.’ We didn’t know a Jack, so I read through them, and my heart just fucking breaks. I’ve known my best friend since we were in diapers; I know how she texts. But I checked the number just to be sure, and yep, they were talking behind my back. Not just talking, though, there were pictures and mentions of sexual acts that had happened. I spent the night crying and sending myself all of the screenshots and everything I could find.

By morning, I realized that I can’t just confront them. I need to prepare. So, I set out to put money aside. I tell him our fridge is broken, so I’m using some of our savings to fix it; we need a plumber for this or a handyman for that. All lies, but I needed a reason to pull money out of the account we both had access to. It took me two months, but I was able to pull enough out to put a deposit and pay a couple months in advance on a new apartment that I found that was closer to work and pet-friendly. I was able to slowly move stuff there while he was at work (I told him I was doing some spring cleaning to clear out the clutter).

In the meantime…I’d mention things about each other that would cause drama, like telling Max that Amy talked about a cute guy from work, or telling Amy that Max mentioned marriage and kids with me.

The day before I was leaving, I set my plan onto motion. I knew where my best friend went for lunch most days of the week, so I watched and waited. When she arrived, I went in and pretended I didn’t want to throttle her for breaking my trust and my heart. We sat down and chatted, and I slyly mentioned sex with Max. In their messages, she told him that she didn’t want him to sleep with me. Apparently, she’d become quite possessive of my BF. I made comments about how sore I was because we did it rough just like I like it. How good he was at oral, you name it, I mentioned it. Her face got redder and redder, and it was amazing to watch.

Later that day, I go home, and once again pretend that everything is normal. But I sit down on the couch with him and snuggle up to him while he watches TV. After about 20 minutes, I straddle him and ask him how his day was and blah blah blah. Then, I bring up that I ran into Amy at lunch and ‘You’ll never guess who she was with!’ I told him how Amy was with Dave (her real-life coworker that has hung out with us multiple times) and how it’s so cute that they’re dating now.

When I say he froze, I don’t think he even breathed. He just sort of muttered, ‘I didn’t know she was seeing someone.’ So, I tell him all about how I caught them kissing, and after Dave left to go back to work, Amy told me all about their amazing sex life. And of course, I had to add in there that Dave was the first guy to give her a real O and how she’s always had to fake it with guys before.

I’ve never seen him look so dejected before. That night, I asked that we do a phone-free night, which we’d do often so that we could be in our own bubble. I could tell that he was a little hesitant, but he turned his phone off and put it in the basket we use for it. We watched a movie and cuddled on the couch, and he stayed as stiff as a board for the majority of it before he relaxed enough to fall asleep on the couch.

Once he was out, I grabbed his work phone and sent out a contact list-wide email about how I may be in a bad mood for the next couple of weeks because my mistress gave me the clap. Then, I changed the passcode on it and turned it off. I knew that he wouldn’t turn it on until he got to his worksite that was 40 minutes away. As soon as he was out the door, I immediately packed my bags, important papers, and the dogs, and left. I also unscrewed most lightbulbs, took the batteries out of the remote, took the router plugin so he wouldn’t have Wi-Fi and cranked the AC up to 80°F. When I got to my new place, I sent her a text asking how my p***y tastes and then blocked them both. Then, I posted screenshots to my FB and let everyone know what horrible people they were.”

TL;DR: Her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend, and she found out by going through his phone. So, she saved up to move out of her apartment, drove a wedge between them by making them jealous, and then, sent an email to her boyfriend’s entire contact list and posted on Facebook revealing them as cheaters.
