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."
A favorite topic of conversation, both online and in person, is stories about relationships. One of the first things we ask our friends when we see them is what's going on in their dating lives.
No matter how long these romantic relationships last, there is always at least one juicy story that will either make us hear alarm bells or wedding bells. Either way, they are definitely interesting.
So interesting are these kinds of stories that some of them even go viral. The internet loves nothing more than a crazy relationship story they can gossip about.
Consider just how quickly celebrity breakup stories start trending. Even the hint of unproven separation or divorce sends the general public into a frenzy.
Individuals willingly spend hours of their day digging for proof that their favorite TV couple has gone their separate ways. Sometimes, even stories about non-celebrity couples go viral, and for good reason: they are most definitely out of the norm.
There's one particular Reddit thread that has sent shockwaves online because of the eyebrow-raising crazy ex stories shared by anonymous users. Some of these stories are certifiably demented and would have landed the individuals in jail had they been caught.
After reading these anecdotes, you might just be glad that you're single. Being alone is definitely better than being with some of these devil-adjacent former partners.

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?
