My ex-husband’s petty revenge backfired spectacularly when I came home to see my furniture for sale.

After divorcing Brendan, Gina faced his spiteful behavior. Tired of his outbursts, she spent a weekend with her parents to clear her mind. Returning home, she found her furniture scattered on the lawn with a “Free Stuff!” sign, Brendan’s petty revenge for assuming she’d sue for his money. Furious but calm, Gina discovered his cherished

family heirloom—a valuable watch—in a bedside table drawer. Holding it hostage, she rallied friends to salvage her belongings. When Brendan realized the watch was missing, he pleaded for its return. Gina, playing coy, suggested it was with a neighbor and hinted at a price. The next morning, Brendan paid $500 to retrieve it. Gina handed over the watch, coolly dismissing him as he left, feeling empowered by her subtle retaliation while moving forward with the divorce.
