We both work from home. He unplugged the internet (he pays). He was going to leave to go to a Starbucks and work. I turned off all electricity (I pay). He couldn’t open the garage to leave.
#3
I do his income tax every yr and made the deposit to my account after he cheated. Told him he owed taxes and didn’t get anything back.
People can get pretty creative when they feel wronged by a partner. Research on revenge in romantic relationships suggests that people may retaliate because they want their partner to understand how much they were hurt or change their behavior.
This can make creative revenge feel like a way to get a message across, even when the method is questionable.

I gave away EVERYTHING he owned after cheating, including his social security and birth certificate. If I didn’t exist in his eyes he didn’t exist to the state of California.

I'm fairly certain this is a federal crime. I support it. It's just most definitely a crime.

I found out he was talking to a coworker so I got him fired and applied for his job. Got the position and became that girls boss.
#6
She pepper sprayed my car door handles and I near crashed when I rubbed eyes on my way to work.
A study on reactions to perceived betrayal found that revenge is driven more by emotion than careful thought. People may also fail to consider whether their revenge will actually achieve anything.
Anger is not exactly known for helping someone make rational decisions. You can be furious in the moment, do something completely ridiculous, and realize later that it was wildly unnecessary.
When you’re angry, even small things can get under your skin and make you do crazy stuff. For couples, it doesn’t have to be something significant; everyday frustrations can trigger resentment and retaliatory behavior.
In fact, this research on “phubbing,” or feeling ignored because your partner is busy on their phone, found that people reported more anger and an urge to be petty on days when they felt like their partners weren’t paying attention to them.

My aunt threw her bf out the window. He called the cops on her and had her arrested, then bailed her out. She brought him to Christmas that year, where my other aunt asked how it felt to fly.

Why would he bail her out???! The fall surely messed with his head
#12
I went to go drain our bank account after an argument. he showed up and took my car battery. Cops convinced him to come and put it back. 14 years and counting.
After a fight, the way partners respond can shape what happens next, especially when one person has gone all-in on getting revenge. A study has found that after disagreements, partners may try to reconnect, keep the conflict going, or pull away from each other.
That makes you wonder how some of the couples in this list managed the aftermath of their arguments. After doing something this unhinged to your partner, do you just wake up the next morning and ask what they want for breakfast?
#13
TOOK HIS 3 tires and rims off his car, gave it to his dealer and when he came to buy new rims and tires the dealer sold those same rims & tires back to him and the dealer and I split the profit.
#14
He was yelling as I was trying to sleep, so as soon as he went to sleep, I pulled the fire alarm in his apartment complex, went to my mom’s house to sleep in peace and turn off my phone.
#15
Had a promise ring We were arguing and I gave it to him and he threw it then started crying cause he couldnt find it but i found it and hide it and made him buy me a more expensive one lol.
Forgiveness plays a huge role in how couples recover from conflict. Research on married couples has linked forgiveness and positive responses with better conflict resolution. Revenge-oriented responses, on the other hand, have been associated with unhealthy dynamics.
This doesn’t mean anyone has to forgive their partner for doing something outrageous. But it does suggest that keeping score can make it harder for couples to move past an argument and build a healthier, stronger relationship.
#17
He cheated on me and I told him to tat my name and I’d take him back got my name tattooed and I left him a week later lol.
#18
My ex bought the Star Wars Millennium Falcon LEGO set. (7541 pieces.) When we broke up I took a bag that had a few LEGO pieces. He’ll never be able to complete it set was like $800.
If this collection teaches us anything, it is that common sense tends to leave the group chat the second someone gets angry. When your partner annoys you, taking a breath before plotting revenge might save you from doing something you will regret later.
You may feel completely justified in the moment, but the aftermath can be much messier than the original argument, especially if the relationship doesn't survive it.
#19
He was too into video games so I opened his ps4, disconnected and took it apart, put it back together and he thought it stopped working and quit playing.
#20

#21
Not me but my best friend got into an argument so she took his registration sticker off because she paid for it.
Everyone has their moments, but some people clearly take a disagreement to places the rest of us would never even consider.
Have you ever done something petty during a fight that seemed completely justified at the time but makes you cringe now? Tell us in the comments. We promise we’re not judging, because after this list, we’ve seen enough.
