“I Worked Around The Clock”: Ex Plans To Never Move Out, Person Takes Matter Into Their Own Hands
A breakup can be a tough, jagged pill to swallow, but it happens to the best of us. Of course, not everyone has the emotional maturity to deal with the end of a romance, and this can sometimes lead to unhinged behavior.
A woman couldn’t handle her failed relationship and refused to leave her ex-partner’s home. She also prevented herself from getting kicked out by threatening to claim domestic abuse.
But her entire world turned upside down after her former flame successfully delivered an elaborate, epic piece of petty revenge. Scroll down for the full story.

Breakups have heavier repercussions than typically perceived
While her reactions aren’t justified, the woman in the story may be dealing with something deeper after the breakup with her partner. According to a journal published in the National Library of Medicine, these life events are also precursors to major depressive disorders among young people.
And if you’re wondering why the end of a relationship seems to shake up your entire world, it’s because it causes a shift in our biological rhythms. As University of Arizona clinical psychology professor David Sbarra explained to Vox, close partners keep us balanced.
The attachments we form calm us during stressful moments and energize us when we feel down. They become our security blanket. Taking that person away is like pulling the rug out from underneath us. It almost shocks our system, and many of us cannot cope.
Of course, the effects are much worse with deeper commitments. Human behavior expert Grace Larson, who wrote the Vox article, explains, “Just as it hurts to give up aspects of your identity, it also hurts to abandon plans for the future.”
However, an inability to deal with a breakup can make someone toxic, like the woman in this story. While the mature and sensible response is to show compassion, it only goes so far.
In such cases, experts like psychiatrist Dr. Abigail Brenner advise the next best thing: professional help.
“People are capable of change, but you don’t have to stick around until they do. That’s not your job or obligation,” Dr. Brenner stated in her article.
The author’s actions were harsh but necessary. They were backed into a corner and threatened with legal action. Because of the woman’s unreasonable behavior, showing compassion was out of the question.
Most commenters lauded the author for the “epic revenge”

I tried to get rid of my lying cheating narcissist ex for abiut 10 years. He would do just minimum to show that he is trying to do something, beside cicles of love bombing and trauma bonding. Eventually I got myself together and gave him 3 months to move out. I had to do all, to take his key, to pack his stuff, to eventually had our kid carry it all to brother, that took him in. I did not do petty stuff because I didn't want to lower myself to that level.

I’im pretty sure this is the best revenge story I’ve ever read! Sooo satisfying, and I wish I could’ve seen her face at several points along the way.
