Divorce revenge....cute!

KingstonsMom — Sat, 02 Apr 2016 13:07:51 GMT

She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water

When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods.
She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.

When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days.
Then slowly, the house began to smell.

They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place out.
Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned.
Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked!!!

People stopped coming over to visit.
Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit.
Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.

A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local Realtors refused to return their calls.
Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place ...

The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going .
He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back.

Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day ..
She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.

A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home.........
And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the curtain rods!!!!!!

I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

I believe this was a story that someone made up many years ago.

LOL!!! Now you can go stink up your new house. I have read this before. I don't know if it's true or not but it sure is funny. I'm sure there is some women in the middle of a divorce got mad & did something to get back at their other half.

I'm sending this to a friend going through a divorce. Maybe it will inspire her.

I like the story where the wife sells the ex's late model Porche for 50 bucks.

It seems he ran off w/a new squeeze and told her to sell his stuff and send him the cash.

Hence-the $50.00 Porche sale.

I too love a happy ending.

I read this story a long time ago, but it's still funny. And, if true, it shows karma will get you sooner or later.

Sounds like a Readers Digest story circa 1955...lol Women, thankfully, are beyond foolishess like that, even as jokes like this one. We get "even" today by walking off WITH the house and the car and half the retirement account and half the money in the bank and ALL of the secrent account that he didn't even know existed. And then we go on a luxury cruise a couple of girlfriends and feast on shrimp and caviar....lol

@Chrystaltree2 I dont know who your lawyer is, or the lawyers for those 1% women, but stats cite very different realities for most women.

This includes having primary custody of the children after the marriage in many cases, deadbeat dads, a woman's income drops by 70% (if she was a homemaker during the marriage, and NO, there is no guarantee of alimony anymore), the man's income goes up by 30%, and most homes are sold and divided after the bank is paid off.

I lived through this with the dissolution of my marriage; I'm not even going to discuss the depth of loss for children, and the sense of failure one can walk away with.

My child was a very big reason for moving forward 30 years ago.

I only wish. It's not reality, in most divorces.
