Lots of people lovesurprises.
But not all surprises are welcomed.
Below, youll find the full story, as well as conversations with the author of this post andDr.
She was kind enough to have a chat withBored Pandaand explain what inspired her to share this story now.
This happened over 18 years ago, she revealed.
It was the safest, least dramatic way for me to exit, actually.
I really felt that it was necessary to move without him hanging over my shoulder.
I saw some funny ex stories and thought I would share mine.
We were also curious about her exs reaction after coming home to find that she had left.
As expected, he called my phone and yelled into my voicemail until he filled it, Grigsbyjawn said.
I had turned my phone off to avoid the stress of his calls.
But thankfully, their relationship is much healthier today.
Now, many years later, we are actually amicable, she added.
Finally, Grigsbyjawn shared some wise words for anyone in a similar situation.
My revenge was certainly petty but definitely not harmful.
Leaving anyrelationshipis difficult because we form strong emotional bonds with those closest to us.
Financial control and ab**e can also make it extremely difficult to secure alternative accommodation or resources.
So is it a good idea to move out while a toxic partner is not home?
However, the key factor is safety.
If the partner has ahistoryof violence or volatility or controlling behavior, planning an exit carefully is crucial.
Some controlling ex-partners become more dangerous after the breakup, using any means available to regain power.
Because of this, ongoing support is crucial.
In those moments, remember why you left and stay grounded in reality.
True closure comes from moving forwardnot from trying to make sense of the wreckage.
