12 People Shared Creepy Stories About the Most Horrific Deeds of Their Ex

Breakups are always painful. While some people can part ways amicably, others create scandals too shameful to talk about. These 12 exes caused exactly those kinds of dramas.

• June 1, 2018. Normal day. A Friday. My husband of 24 years had kissed me goodbye and gone to work and never came home again. I was cleaning the house for company who was coming to stay the weekend. The doorbell rang. There was a man at my door who introduced himself as the husband of a woman who my husband worked with. He was there to tell me that my husband and his wife were having an affair. He had busted them about six months prior and had told his wife that she had to end the affair. He thinks that she did end it... for about three months, but then they started up again. When he found out they were at it again, he called my husband (because he knew if he confronted him in person, he’d be in a jail cell for what he’d have done). On the phone, he told my husband to leave his wife alone or else he would come and tell me everything that was happening. Apparently, my husband thought that he was bluffing. © headcase-and-a-half / Reddit
• After 18 years together, he left me two weeks before Christmas for a younger woman. He took every computer we had in the house, even the iPad, and our only car. I had to do Christmas shopping alone, heartbroken, and on foot during the horrible Canadian weather. It was the worst few weeks of my life and the worst Christmas. © sonia72quebec / Reddit

• She broke up with me over Facebook by changing her relationship status to “in a relationship” with her ex, without even a word to me. © Deathlinger / Reddit
• She thought I was cheating on her. In a fit of rage, she smashed my iPod touch with a meat tenderizer and bleached all my clothes. Later, I found out that she was the one who had been cheating on me. © Big_jerm3 / Reddit
• She convinced me to give up my dream job, which included student loan repayment, to move three hours away to her hometown. Three months later, she left me, saying she wasn’t in love with me and hadn’t been for the last 1.5 years. We are now divorced. © Unknown author / Reddit
• She lied to me about having terminal brain cancer after I mentioned having uneasy feelings about our relationship. We had been together for 4.5 years. Luckily, as a pre-nursing student, it didn’t take me long to put the puzzle pieces together. Needless to say, we’re not together anymore.

• My girlfriend of 9 years went to her home country for a “health checkup.” Two weeks later, she updated her WhatsApp profile picture with her wedding photo. There was no breakup message or call— she just got married without even letting me know. © tyriandel_bash / Reddit

• I thought we had broken up pretty amicably. There was no yelling, and we both acknowledged that the end had been in sight for a while. Then, I woke up to find my car keyed up and down both sides. © wagne124 / Reddit
• She made arrangements to break the lease without telling me anything. So I got hit with “After seven years, it’s over, and in three weeks you’ll be homeless.” I managed to move in time, but that was extra harsh. © ZarquonsFlatTire / Reddit
• My last partner pretended to have paranoid schizophrenia throughout our relationship. I found out afterward that it was all a lie. I think there must have been something else seriously wrong for them to invent that. © papillon91 / Reddit
• He was cheating on me with a direct subordinate from our mutual workplace. When the affair became public and ruined his career and reputation, he blamed me. © flotiste / Reddit
• Well, after breaking up, he broke into my apartment while I was out on a date. He then hid in my bedroom closet and waited for me to come home. The date went well, I brought the guy back to my place. Ex heard more than he wanted. He only revealed himself after my date left. And he was yelling, I just grabbed my phone to call the cops. Thankfully, he left on his own. He was literally hiding in my closet for hours! The older I get, the creepier that whole situation seems. © lynnyfer / Reddit
