What is the opening premise of “When Revenge Gets Brutal”?
Hell hath no fury like two women score. So about fifteen years back
How does the first Reddit‑sourced revenge story unfold and what triggers it?
I had a boyfriend that I'd been with for about six years. He moved to another city for work while I finished my studies and then I would move there too to join him. He was apartment hunting and subleasing in the meantime. He would come home almost every weekend and during Christmas and New Year's holidays. He found an apartment in January. and invited me up to show it. As I was preparing to move up. I was looking for a job, looking for new furniture, all the things like that. Well late February rolls around. And I tell him that the time's come for us to terminate the lease on the apartment in our hometown. When out of the blue. He breaks up with me. I was shocked and saddened to say the least. He came home, collected clothes, and his very expensive PC which he'd built from scratch.
That was his baby. So two weeks later, I'm still reeling. And I noticed that he's updated his profile pic on Facebook to him and another woman kissing. Obviously they hadn't just been dating for two weeks. I called him and called him out on it. And he admitted to having met her two months back. When he answered the call and as we hashed this out, he was at the airport, ready to travel abroad with a buddy of his for a week or so. That meant that we weren't able to speak for very long. Well that night, as I sat in silence, I think nerve got the better of me. Because I decided to tell the new girlfriend. I managed to find her on Facebook and wrote her a message. She didn't believe me at first, of course, but I sent her texts, pics.
I described their apartment in detail. Well, her apartment, as it turned out. When I sent her a dick pic that he'd sent me with their bedroom clearly in the background? She said, Okay, enough. I believe you. She told me that they'd been dating for about eight months. Not two. That she'd been in Africa for two months around December and January, which would explain why he was able to be with me for two weeks over the holidays and why he could invite me to see the apartment. We actually spoke a lot over that week. I learned that he'd sent us the exact same Valentine's Day text. He bought us the same Christmas presents. You kinda get the picture. Well, after comparing notes, I think we came to the mutual conclusion that
It was time for revenge. She cut up all of his clothes and left them in a pile on the floor. I told her about the PC and advised her to tear that fker to pieces. She hacked it with screwdrivers and hammers, and every piece was beyond saving. When he ultimately made it home a week later? She welcomed him back by tossing him out with nowhere to go. But not before showing him all of his possessions obliterated. I haven't spoken to him in fifteen years. I heard how everything played out from her, and once I knew that the revenge had landed, We said goodbye to one another and closed out the chat. I have no clue where he spun off to after she broke up with him. And while I'm sure you can tell that I was a bit salty for being taken as a fool.
I think a majority of the parties that were involved in this We're better off having ended the relationships. I didn't include him as one of the parties that were better off.
When I was around eleven or twelve years
old, I started getting really interested in bugs. Not just catching random insects outside, I mean actually keeping colonies and learning how to take care of them. Ant farms were my favorite. But over time I started keeping different types of insects. Basically, I was the quiet kid with non-traditional hobbies. Around the same time, I was regularly responsible for watching my younger brother, who was about seven or eight. It probably sounds crazy now to leave a twelve year old in charge of another kid for serious stretches of the day, but That was just how things worked in our house. When our mom was working, I was the built-in babysitter. One Saturday, I was home with my brother doing basically nothing.
I was taking care of my aunts, he was playing PS three and everything was peaceful.
