Temporary insanity

ALAISHA THOMAS 

MOVING on, especially when someone has wronged you, is easier said than done; indeed, it takes a really strong person to end things amicably, and move on like once upon a time that person wasn’t your everything.

Not many of us have achieved that level of sainthood, so more than likely, when things end or are about to end, seeking revenge, seeking to hurt, absolutely craving schadenfreude, is something that will lead even the most sane person to act out of character.

So what deranged, demented, crazy, insane things have people done to their exes under an attack of temporary insanity?

Claudia, 42:

He said his dead mother dreamed him and told him that I was Delilah and wasn’t the right woman for him, and it was a morning dream, so it had to be a warning. He broke up with me because of a stupid dream. So a few weeks after, I told him that I dreamed that we were getting married in an ice-cold chapel, and everyone was dressed in white, except for him. Of course he took that to mean that he would die soon, and just knowing that he was miserable and started living everyday like his last, gave me joy.

Jaden, 30:

We moved in together and I came with my cat. He hated the cat, and was always threatening to take it to the shelter. Anyway, one day I came home and my cat was nowhere to be found, and he helped me search, even though I suspected that he had something to do with it. Eventually he admitted that he had thrown the cat over the perimeter wall of our scheme. The cat was gone for a whole week, and then one day it just showed up again. My boyfriend was so upset that the cat made its way back. Anyway, I decided I had to leave, but before I did, I made sure the cat gave his closet and furniture a proper spraying, and everyone knows that cat pee is almost impossible to get out of wood.

Abigayle, 33:

I cast a spell on him and it worked. Cost me a bag of money repaying that credit card debt, but shout out to the online spells company and their doll that worked so well, that he ended up at a deliverance church seeking healing.

Sonita, 47:

After he left me for someone I worked with, I put his number in the paper over several weeks, as a contact for selling everything from cars to vacuum cleaners one week, then the next week he had cheap apartments for rent, then cars for sale. I bet he was tormented.

Ericka, 27:

I sold a bunch of stuff he had been collecting for years for cheap on Marketplace while he was abroad, and I found messages showing that he cheated. When he returned not only was I gone, but his vinyl records, his guitar, keyboard, and some vintage items were all gone.

Samantha, 36:

We’re not exes yet, but I’m working on it. For now, his picture is on a dating website as “open for anything”, and I bet he’s wondering why his phone and email are getting spammed so often.
