30 People Share The Craziest Things Their Exes Have Done And We Are Wondering Why They Are Not In Jail
The mood of these stories: "I feel like that should be a lawsuit of some kind."
Some exes leave behind a few awkward memories, and some leave behind stories so wild they sound made up. This Reddit thread falls firmly into the second category, with anonymous users sharing the most unhinged things their former partners have done.
The stories range from cruel pranks and stalking to false reports, threats, and behavior that crossed every possible line. What makes it even more unsettling is how many people had to deal with the fallout long after the breakup was over.
By the end, you may be grateful your own dating history is boring. Read on.

These ex stories got darker and stranger with every scroll.
There is no shortage of weird and crazy ex stories, but these ones really took it to another level, didn't they? They did say you will kiss a lot of frogs before you meet someone you'll like, but they didn't exactly warn us that some frogs would be poisonous.
It's amazing that these folks even managed to escape the claws of their hellish exes. This is one of the few times when I believe a higher power could be looking out for us, but also that higher power put these terrible people in our paths, so what do I really know?
