rocketdog 0 #1 December 21, 2005 ......best served cold HELP! my boyfriend & i have just broken up on awful terms, he is/was extremely hostile & informed me of the 3 people he slept with while dating me. he said i need to drive to his house (TWO hours away 1 direction) & retrieve my belongings by THIS Friday evening (the 23rd). i've floated him so much $ that i feel like i need to recover some . since he obviously won't fork out the cash, i am more than willing to take it. QUESTION #1: should i drop by the house while he's @ work (door is rarely locked but has a roommate) & take all the spare change i can find? wait til he's present so i can "borrow" the check card from his wallet? should i even attempt driving the 4 hrs. total -- i meant what if he's NOT at work? QUESTION #2: WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY SWEET REVENGE, once @ his house? obviously, these answers will be based upon the answer to Q #1..... pranks already being considered: ~~laxatives + drink = no fun ~~super glue on the doorknobs ~~using his toothbrush to floss my bum ~~replacing his deodorant w/cream cheese THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE PEOPLE! ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocketdog 0 #8 December 21, 2005 yes they were "gifts" intended for him. however, it is pre-christmas & have not been given to him yet. i guess what's hard about it is i make $7,000 a year, so i'm a tightwad when it comes to my money...... i mean i could use the $40 he smashed to cover my gas to get my things. ~hollywood see the world! http://gorocketdog.blogspot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm willing to help. Let's have really hot steamy sex and send him the video! (Sorry about that--I'll get real now) In my experience, the absolute best thing you can do is hold your head high and take the high road. Don't go for revenge. Just let it go. Out-class him. I've taken the low road and I've taken the high road on breakups. There is no comparison. The feelings you have now will cloud your judgement and cause you to do really stupid things. Don't go down that road. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mdrejhon 8 #13 December 21, 2005 Walk away. I've walked away from 5 figures worth of expenditures spent on my better half before. Yes, resentment can be there and vile thoughts and language expressed, but get your stuff and walk away. Escalation of war between both of you is painful and should be avoided -- otherwise you will be too distracted and distraught at dinnertime. What if he does something even worse after you did your revenge (tit-for-tat escalating back-and-fourth). You'll then have a much more terrible time than now... Sure, play darts with the photo, play baseball with that gift ornament, burn that love letter in the bonfire (but first, write the words "F__K Y___!" in red sharpie marker all over it, pretend it is his blood, before throwing it in the bonfire), and burn up that photo CD in the microwave. That way, you're safe from escalating a nuclear war. Me, I am often too sentimental to even do any of the above, but it's a safer and more private kind of revenge if you must succumb to temptation...

Beverly 1 #16 December 21, 2005 ouch, sorry about that. I would go there when he is not there and get your stuff, then there is no chance of it getting ugly. Take you stuff and go. No need for salt in his bed, hair remover in his shampoo or small chunks of small raw fresh fish in his couch covers. Move on, the wheen turns. It may be a big wheel and take a while or a small wheel and happen fast. Either way it turns. I have seen it often.

daniel_owen_uk 0 #18 December 21, 2005 The more you get your "revenge", the more he will realise how pissed you are about breaking up. The less revenge you get the more he will think you don't give a fuck, which do you think is gonna hurt more?__________________ BOOM Headshot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moodyskydiver 0 #20 December 21, 2005 Although it seems like a good idea now to take it out on his stuff or try to compensate yourself with his check card its definitely not worth it. I've been in similar situations and while I'd have loved to do nothing better than to try to ruin him and hurt him like he hurt me it wasn't worth it in the end because the pay off doesn't last and then your still just left feeling crappy. The best revenge is massive success.Pick yourself up and move on with your life. Theres nothing better than having an ex see you later in life and how great you're doing...new boyfriend or a great career and all kinds of great things going for you. Then you can just walk by like hes a nobody who isn't worth your time. Let them drool and kick themselves for screwing up.In the end they can do a better mind job on themselves this way than you ever could have with pranks. "...just an earthbound misfit, I."

Putting fresh "dog dirt" in baggies with holes in them in the vents in his place, or caramels in his gas tank, or sending horribly deviant porn magazines in his name to his neighbor's address, or oil extracted from poison oak and ivy plants on all the doorknobs and toilet seats would only serve to make you look like a professional head-case.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #25 December 21, 2005 I too have been thru a horrible break up before. Its is no fun when your life is being turned up side down.Give yourself some time to lick your wounds and then take what you can. Run don't walk away. The guy sounds like an ass. I took the bear minimum and then left with my dignity. Everything is replaceable. Chalk it up as a lesson learned. ((HUG)) BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event.
