The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Have you ever done anything to spite an ex after a breakup?
I was having this conversation with my coworkers the other day and found it amusing the things we did to spite an ex after breakups.
One had chopped all her hair off because her ex preferred her long hair, another got a cell phone because her ex didn't allow her to her a phone, and my ex was the complete opposite of me. I'm a rocker at heart covered in tattoos and he is a truck-driving country boy. I guess I was going through "the punk phase" again so I put tiny gauges in my ears right after we broke up because he thought they were gross (and a lot of people would probably agree).
Have you ever done anything after a breakup just because an ex wouldn't have liked it?

I've never done anything, but my ex sent me a nasty letter six months after he left me for another girl detailing how the break up was all my fault and calling me a coward for never telling my parents about my sexual abuse.
I've never done anything to spite my ex because quite frankly, I didn't want him in my life and I couldn't care less what he thought about me when we were done.
Oh, I suppose if you count ignoring his friend request, blocking him on Facebook and putting all our mutual friends on my limited profile list so he couldn't spy on me 'spiting', then I guess I did.

Its pretty brutal after all that he would still try and get in touch with you, good for you not letting him back!

Yeah well, he's still a student six years later and I'm getting married next year. What more spite do I need than falling in love and having the love returned of a man who is ten times better than he'll ever be?

I agree, I don't think I ever did anything because I knew he would hate it. I think it was more me being able to completely be myself.
Though when I was a lot younger (around 16) I'll admit after a bad breakup where I was cheated on, I got rid of most of my emotion working out, and kept the thought "if he saw me now then he'd regret it" haha and while I never planned on seeing him again, he was the driving force for bettering myself. Whether thats a good thing or not.

My last ex wasn't keen on telling his parents either but we had bought a house together so he didn't want them to know the relationship failed and now we have a house that wasn't yet built to deal with.
We had been buying stuff for the house and storing it in his parents basement so we would be prepared for when it was ready. He told me the most embarrassing thing I did was come a pick up my half of the stuff because his parents were there, even though I gave him many opportunities while they were out of town. He just didnt want to believe it was over.
Reality bites.

I've never done anything like that. I suppose I moved on. That can be a harsh reality.

I didn't think that I had done anything like that and then I remembered something. My high school boyfriend was like 5'7" so I never wore heels around him. The day we broke up I went out and bought a pair of 4" platform heels. I think I was more in love with the shoes than I ever was with him!
