People Reveal The Craziest Thing An Ex Friend Or Lover Has Done (17 Stories)

After a relationship ends, some people can become a little…unhinged. Whether it was a friend or a lover, you might be bombarded with texts, find weird things outside your door, or find out that someone’s been making up rumors about you. Or — a lot worse. On Reddit, people are sharing the craziest thing that an ex friend or lover has done, and truly, once someone hurts a pet, all bets are off.

1. Monitoring YouTube

“Called me at three in the morning to yell at me and call me a whore for ‘liking’ a YouTube video by Dashie a month before.” —curiositykills33

2. Eviction

“Got mail delivered to my house when she found out I was going to break up with her. Then wouldn’t leave when I did break up with her. I called the police and since she received mail at my house they said it was officially her residence as well. I had to call my land lord and have him evict me to get her to leave. Once she left he rescinded the eviction notice and I moved back in.” — armhat

3. Fake Pregnancy

“Tried to tell me she was pregnant when I broke up with her for being a compulsive liar which just confirmed that she was indeed a compulsive liar.” — DarthVader9696

4. Brother-In-Law

“She met me for a date, went to go meet her parents. I had a beer with her dad while she went upstairs and f*cked her brother-in-law. Then she came downstairs and left with me to resume our date. I found out after the fact, got tested and dumped her ass.” — Sol-Blackguy

5. Another Family

“Found out my long distant boyfriend of three years got married and had a baby while we were together. He was in my town every weekend… It was nuts.”— pyrexsony

6. Befriended A Pedophile

“Ex wife befriended a pedophile on parole at her job, & bought him cell phones with cash for him to use to ‘keep in touch’ with his former young lovers – violating his parole conditions of having no internet access, smart phones, or social media accounts of any kind. She was dumb enough to admit all of this in front of security cameras with microphones. Footage was provided to the local sheriff’s department once it was discovered. Soon after this, she secretly planned to move him into our home, and gave him our wifi password. She acquired a gun and bragged to her co-workers about how she was going to get rid of me and give the pedophile his freedom back…luckily one of her coworkers got ahold of me and told me her plan. Within an hour I had confronted her and our 7 year marriage was over.” — BentMG

7. Donated A Kidney

“My ex donated a kidney to me, it still wows me how she decided without even a moment of hesitation. Great person for sure.” — theoldcollegetries

8. Lying About Suicide

“Messaged my relatives on social media convincing them I was trying to commit suicide. She fabricated screenshots of a conversation and everything. I’m just lucky my parents understand me enough to know that if I was going to do that I wouldn’t tell a girl I was with for a few months.” — PossibleTartarian

9. Raw Chicken

“‘Helped’ me pack. Knew I was putting things into storage. Put RAW chicken into a Rubbermaid with appliances they knew I wouldn’t open for months.” — bellcait

10. Stole The Dog

“She made a key to my house and stole my dog after we broke up. She then called me and told me she found said dog running loose in my neighborhood. Neighbor had it all on video. Dog was very confused.” — Saltwindandfire

11. Poisoned The Dog

“An ex poisoned my dog.” — patricksaurus

12. Embezzling

“She called my boss, told them I was embezzling. Took 3 audits to clear me.” — rosanymphae

13. Hearing Loss

“One time my gf at the time was staying over. I’d been at work late the night before so I wanted to sleep in. She tried to wake me…It didn’t work so I fell back to sleep. So after an unknown amount of time (I was in deep sleep) she apparently lost patience…She put her mouth directly against my ear and screamed as loud as she could … A high pitched horror movie scream. The pain was immediate. It’s been about 15 years and my left ear (if I’m in a loud place) buzzes like I’ve got a wasp in my ear. It sounds exactly like a blown out speaker.” Crackracket

14. Venmo

“Sent me a dollar on Venmo just to say one last f*ck you.” —deckstare

15. Conservative Parents

“Showed up to my parents house while I was with my new girlfriend and told my parents how we couldn’t break up because I had sex with her and so we had to be life partners. Parents were ultra conservative so it was a….fun time.” — droccafella03

16. Video

“My ex planted a dog camera facing my bed before leaving. Took me a week to realise she had put it there. She also rented the flat directly beside me and would monitor who was coming in and out of my flat and text them to see if we were ‘doing anything.'” — HelmutTheSpeedyGobbo

17. Military Secrets

“I was in the military at the time. Ex called the base and told them I was passing her secrets. Also called my mom and told her I died, but the army wouldn’t tell her. And called my landlord to tell them I was killed so they should release the apartment. Yea. That ended up being hell for me. The military takes that shit VERY seriously. I was pulled out of formation and arrested, no idea what is going on. Took two weeks before they believed me and released me back to my unit. By then the landlord had actually started boxing up all my stuff to sell off.” — JasonShort
