‘ Update: I [34M] broke up with my [33F] girlfriend in the nastiest way possible because of what happened yesterday and today.’
So after I went home yesterday, I cooled down a bit and finally collected my guts to call her. I called her, she accepted my call and said “What?” I told her “I’m sorry for overrea…” and she dropped off the call. I texted her, “I need the copy of my house keys back, I’m breaking up with you.” She didn’t respond. I got into my car went to her place, knocked at least ten times before storming off.
I looked in the parking lot, her car wasn’t there. So I texted her “Where are you?” ten minutes pass, no response. I drove back home and I noticed her car parked next to my house, I carelessly park my car, run inside the house and there I see her collecting all my s**t (my laptop, my iPad…) that’s when I tell her “What are you doing?”
She tells me, “I’m taking back what’s mine.” That’s when I tried to grab the things off her arms before she screamed, “Get off me.” She started kicking me and ran out the house. I tell her to give my s**t back or I will call the cops, she doesn’t react to the warning, so I whip out my phone and dial the cops. She drove off with my: laptop, my work phone and my iPad.
Cops arrive roughly 20 minutes later and I told them what happened and I tell them the location of her house. They sent off a cop to her house to collect the electronics. The cops start asking me questions like “Is this the first time?”….. 40 minutes later I got my stuff back. She has been put into a cell for eight hours and and she will have to attend court the following week.
Now I’m contemplating why life always gives me the s**t end of the stick.
Here’s the input from the Reddit crowd:
CuckyMcCuckerCuck − She has been put into a cell for eight hours and and she will have to attend court the following week. For the a**ault? Or the theft? Or both?
foreverinfinate − I wouldnt call this you getting the s**t end of the stick. She got arrested. Shes being held responsible for being so petty. And you get to live your life away from her. Though it was probably a pain in the ass, I say you got the cleaner end of the stick. Keep your head up. This was a blessing in disguise
bitb22 − You did the right thing. It feels like the s**t end of the stick, but this is more like “cleaning”. Its not fun, but you will feel relieved AF when this is done.
richsaint421 − Okay so your first post seemed like a rational person who might be prone to saying stupid s**t. I mean you start off by calling her “your role model.” Your second post makes it sound like she’s a psychopath. My only question….how the hell did she not exhibit this behavior in the last 6 months?
[Reddit User] − CHANGE YOUR LOCKS NOW
LearnsFromExperience − Now I’m contemplating why life always gives me the s**t end of the stick. You’re looking at this the wrong way, my friend. You just got months, years, or possibly even a lifetime reprieve. You got out of that f’ed up relationship no worse for the wear and a huge lesson learned. That’s a win.
Ayerightman − 🤔 something smells fishy here
YKRed − I don’t understand, why would she wait until you called her to steal your stuff? I don’t buy this story.
Scabobian90 − There’s so much to this story missing. Between the first post and the last one.. you’re leaving some s**t out.
idle_online − It could be worse. You could be locked up in a cell for 8 hours, and have to attend court next week.. (well done, btw)
