Cheating GF Moves In With New Boyfriend Without Knowing That Ex Has Prepared A Living Hell For Them For Just $100
Breakups are hard and everyone copes with them differently. For Redditor u/DJ_Duke_of_spook, it was all about revenge.
When his then-girlfriend went on a work trip, she notified the guy to pack his stuff and get lost — the woman was coming back with a new boyfriend. They were done.
u/DJ_Duke_of_spook was disappointed. He thought that’s not how you tell your partner you don’t want to be with them anymore. So in an attempt to get back at his ex, he bought 20 “noisemakers” (little gadgets that emit annoying sounds) and hid them all over the house.
The guy just wanted to play a trick on the couple but things went way further than he had expected.

Licensed psychotherapist Barton Goldsmith, Ph.D., acknowledges that it’s difficult to end a relationship. For everyone who wants to recover in a healthy(ier), less destructive way, however, Goldsmith provides these 10 tips:
1. Cry as much as you want. “Let the tears flow, it’s healthy you are releasing grief and pain. You may be afraid to start because you’re fearful you’ll never stop, but you will.”
2. Do something every day to help yourself heal. “Exercise, read, watch some self-help TV/DVDs, learn to meditate and never underestimate the power of positive prayer. Pick things that you know will be fun or beneficial and do them. Don’t wait for the mood to come over you, take one action and then take another.”
3. Reach out for emotional support. “There are numerous groups for the newly single (more for women than for men). Just don’t try to tough it out or go it alone, support from others is healing, even if those people never become close friends.”
4. Don’t be a doormat. “If your soon-to-be-ex continues to call you or simply won’t go away (or move out), tell them you can’t heal with them around and ask them to keep their distance. If they are harassing or threatening you, it is best to call law enforcement for information and advice.”
5. Keep busy. “If you wake up early take a walk, go out to breakfast or do something around the house. Try a little ‘retail therapy’ (go shopping) or enjoy the decadence of going to a movie in the middle of the day. Many businesses allow their staff to take ‘mental health days’ if needed. If you can’t sleep, do the crossword puzzle, read or watch TV. Don’t sit in your room and ruminate, you have to free your mind so your heart can heal.”
6. Don’t mask your pain by searching for a replacement. “We all know the term ‘rebound relationship.’ These happen when we (unconsciously) use another person to fill the gap that’s been created by the ending of a relationship. These transitional connections can feel healing in the short term, but if you don’t process your pain appropriately, you will not be able to be in a fully committed partnership.”
7. Don’t spend too much time alone. “Hang out with friends or make new ones, go to coffee with someone you can talk to, volunteer in your community. You will need time alone, but if you isolate yourself, you won’t be able to fully process your feelings or get the support you need to heal.”
8. Trust your feelings. Even if you were taken by surprise by the breakup, your inner voice is telling you something. Listen carefully and you will hear that it will all be OK. You just have to let your feelings guide you.
9. Take your time. “Don’t rush out and buy a new car or move to a new home or another town. Major changes like those are merely a way of avoiding your feelings. Believe that with a little time, patience and support you will feel better and find love again.”
10. Research. “Find out what others, who have not just survived but thrived after their relationships ended, did to achieve peace of mind. There are some great books on surviving a breakup, my favorite is ‘How to Survive the Loss of a Love’ by Peter McWilliams. This little gem will give you insight, exercises, and some sage advice for dealing with this heart-wrenching issue.”
At the end of the day, it’s all about you!

Honestly i felt very uncomfortable reading this! What the girlfriend did was for sure horrible but i don't know.... this prank seems so immature that i don't even get how his wife finds this story so amusing! If i were in her position i would think what is this person capable of doing once he is hurt again! And i repeat that i did find the girlfriend was horrible!
Load More Replies...I don’t know how I feel about this. It seems like psychological torture…
I feel like BP should not promote abuse of ex partners. Cheating is a reason to break up, not an excuse to get sadistic.
Load More Replies...It's a fun story and I get why he did it. But This prank is not so innocent. If you're HSP, mentally unstable, or stressed out to begin with, this type of thing can send you over the edge and seriously f*ck up your life. I jus thope and pray nobody will ever do this to me.
As someone who hears noises when stressed (which makes me more stressed) this could have serious consequences for someone who has auditory hallucinations without the insight, or those with sensory processing issues related to autism. It could cause the person to lash out at others or harm themselves. It might seem like a bit of fun, but for someone with mental illness and/or autism, it could be incredibly damaging.
Okay it was petty yes, but I'm sure we've all done petty things or at least wanted to after being hurt by a loved one. I salute him though she broke his heart he broke her sanity.
He never said she broke his heart, he never said he loved her, the entire story is about his revenge and how much he enjoyed it. She may have had excellent reasons for breaking up with him.
Load More Replies...I for one find it hilarious. Good for him. I have no sympathy for cheaters. Be an adult and end the relationship if you're not happy. Immature retaliation for immature behavior. I love it.
This was great and a funny story! I hate cheaters with passion and people saying that the ex boyfriend was an asshole or should have been the better person don't understand the scars and trust issues the cheating trash may have inflicted on the poor guy. Also it was an innocent prank that wasn't meant to be malicious at all.
Load More Replies...I dad did something similar, though not to that extent. He worked in a landfill as a diesel mechanic before he switched to just marine motors. The entire crew would pull pranks on each other. Somebody snatched another guy's lunch and glued the lids all closed so he helped the victim hide one of those musical boxes that are inside Christmas toys under the seat of a backhoe. 8 hours of off and on Jingle Bells and Rudolph, in July.
I can't find the link to this post (only to the user) but it must be old, because ThinkGeek is gone now, and the Annoy-a-Tron with it. They've got a link to Amazon though so I guess there are similar products. I think this is a fun prank, IF you're there when it starts happening and can put a stop to it before too long.
Yes, you can buy them there Amzn.to/3oG4UFm There are different model with cats and cricket as well.
Load More Replies...Two wrongs dont make a right! This is wrong, on both parts, but looks even worse on the prankster. This could totally f*** someone up! Just NO!
There's no morality. If someone hurts you knowingly then you just hurt them back, that's it. He did the right thing.
Load More Replies...If he is this much of a psycho, then no wonder she left him.
These stories that center on revenge and torture aren't my cup of tea, and I don't like seeing them here.
I distrusted my husband of cheating for a long time, his attitudes were enough to raise suspicions but I needed to be more convinced, a friend recommended Hack Wizard to me and i contact him immediately, in few days this hacker got me access to my husband's phone without touching the phone, i was able to monitor his illicit activities; his phone calls, text messages, whatsapp, snapchat, facebook, hangouts and even on social media apps. He got me enough evidence to file for divorce. Hack Wizard is such a reliable hacker and your job is safe with him. He has so many other services to render such as Clearing of Bad Credit Report, Credit top-up, Increase your school Grades, Monitor your Children's online activities, Retrieve your lost bitcoin, your lost accounts and so on.. Contact him at billhackwizard @ (G) (mail) ( DOT) (COM)... Whatsapp: 314 637 9682.. or Send a text: 314 384 9119.. Thank me later.
my husband left me and my kids for no reason, i got sacked at work without any genuine reasons, i cry daily living a lonely life but i was determined to know what is the cause of my predicament , one day as i was going through some articles on the internet i saw a testimony of Mrs Amanda testifying how she got her life revived by Dr peter the noble man and i quickly contacted him and i explained my situation to him and he told me my ex who i broke up with to marry my husband was responsible for my misfortune and he vows to frustrate my life because i didn't marry him . Dr ask me what i wanted him to do to my ex who is after my life i told him to cast a death spell on him because as long as he is alive he will never allow me a moment of peace , which he did and within 3 days he was dead and since his death my life have been so transformed , my kids now love me and my husband is back to me i latter got a call to return to work that the sack was a mistake , wow what a miracle ..
Really don't have any respect for people who cheat, but after reading what he did (and the fact he revelled in the outcome and causing someone to believe they were mentally ill), I'm kind of getting why she dumped this tool for another guy.
I don't condone the fact she basically cheated on him, but to me as someone that has HSP and mental illness, repetition can messed me up mentally and throw me over the edge where I wont be able to function. So no this is not funny, beyond petty, childish, and cruel. In my opinion, he certainly is an asshole!
Jeez, this is why they invented honky tonk bars. A lot less work and way more fun.
I'm on the fence with this. Sometimes waiting for divine retribution takes too long.
Wow. This is disgusting. He has a wife, but STILL hasn't moved on from a woman (to be fair was cowardly. But was she really? Look at what an a$$h0le he is.). Maybe she was escaping. Now he has someone in his life that also thinks it's funny to ruin a life.
How is he ruining a life? You are reaching and portraying the cheating ex as a victim. He is just sharing this story, this doesn't mean that he hasn't moved on from the cheating ex.
Load More Replies...This is f****d up, abuse of ex partner (everybody has a "good reason" to hate their ex) and should not be promoted on the BP.
As someone who has been psychologically abused and gaslighted, and has pretty serious mental trauma from it and left always questioning myself even on simple and objective things, this is so very sickening to read. How anyone can think this is funny or justifiable is... well, I guess it's the reason I was a victim, too, because some people really do think it's funny and justifiable. I can only say, to the people laughing at and praising this, and calling it a "prank", that I truly hope you never have this sort of thing done to you. To have someone so gleefully tear apart your mind... it is not something you ever recover from.
I love this. Sometimes I imagine this kind of vengeance on people but am happy I'll never do it.
