In a recent post on an online forum, the Original Poster (OP) reveals that their friend was betrayed by her long-term partner and decided to craft the ultimate revenge.
The Inheritance
The story starts with the OP’s friend receiving a sizable inheritance from her grandfather. She was very close to him and when he died he left her £25,000 in his will.
The House
OP’s friend and her boyfriend had been together for three years and shared a one-year-old daughter. They decided that receiving the inheritance gave them the perfect opportunity to buy their first family home.
Can’t Pay Up
The couple discussed their move and the boyfriend said that he couldn’t afford to pay any money towards the deposit. The couple agreed that the OP’s friend would pay the £25,000 deposit towards the house and they would get a joint mortgage to pay for the remainder. Because the boyfriend hadn’t contributed towards the deposit, he agreed that he would pay the mortgage repayment for the first two years. They agreed that this would make their contributions equal, although the OP doesn’t think that this was a fair deal.
The Betrayal
Eighteen months later, OP’s friend is shocked and dismayed when her daughter asks where her Daddy’s friend is. OP’s friend is horrified to discover that her boyfriend has been having an affair for a year and he has been bringing his other woman to their family home while she was out working as a nurse. She is even more upset to find out that their daughter was at home during these secret meetings.
Heartbreak
OP’s friend was so devastated and angry that another woman had been brought into their home, that she quickly packed her bags and brought her daughter back to live with her mother. Looking back, OP’s friend acknowledges that she should have made her boyfriend move out, not the other way around.
Reality Sets In
A few weeks later, OP’s friend is recovering from the initial shock and heartbreak of the situation. Reality sets in and she tells her now ex-boyfriend that they need to sell their house because she wants to get her investment of the £25,000 inheritance she put towards the deposit back.
The Moocher
OP describes her friend’s boyfriend as an ‘absolute leech/loser of a man’ and reveals that he didn’t keep to his side of the deal where he was supposed to pay all of the mortgage repayments for the first two years. In fact, he only paid the mortgage for around three or four months before the couple began splitting the mortgage equally.
Ex-Boyfriend Says No
The ex-boyfriend tells his former girlfriend that he has already moved his new girlfriend, the woman he had been having an affair with, into the house. He refuses to leave until his ex-girlfriend ‘buys him out’ and pays him for his half of the house. He threatens her, saying that she has no legal right to claim a bigger share from the house sale because they did not document the fact that she paid the entire deposit. He argues that he is entitled to a fifty percent share in the property and she cannot force him to sell the house.
The Ex-Girlfriend Plans Revenge
OP’s friend is furious at her ex-boyfriend’s refusal to sell their shared house and she decides to plan a clever revenge. She waits until she next has a day off work in the middle of the week and until a time when her ‘scummy ex’ and his new girlfriend will be out for work and she asks her family to help her move a bed and a wardrobe and other belongings into the second bedroom, which had previously been her daughter’s bedroom.
The Shock Of Their Lives
That night, the ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend walk into the house to find OP’s friend and her daughter sitting on the sofa watching TV, as though nothing was wrong. OP says they were so shocked it looked like ‘their brains’ exploded’.
A Month Goes By
OP’s friend carried out her plan of revenge for a full month. OP’s friend, the daughter, the ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend all lived together in the house for an entire month before the new couple eventually caved under the pressure and moved out of the house. OP even says that their friend enjoyed keeping her cool and pretending that the couple wasn’t there while they became more and more uncomfortable living under the same roof as his ex.
A Legend
OP says that their friend is forever a legend in their eyes because she enacted the ultimate revenge by moving back into the family home after her ‘scumbag ex’ had moved his new girlfriend in.
What Do Others Think?
The readers of the forum had lots of opinions on this tale of revenge. Here are some of their responses:
Hats Off
One reader says ‘This is one of the best [revenge stories] I’ve read, hats off to your friend’s dedication.’
Imagine Their Surprise
One commentator wrote, ‘Imagine the other woman thinking she’d won a prize in the cheating a jerk, only to find out it wasn’t just his home, his kid was there, and the legal owner (your friend) wasn’t gonna leave.’
Different Views
Other readers on the forum felt that OP’s friend had made a big mistake by not buying the house in her name only. One replied, ‘This is why you don’t blend your inheritance money… She should have had the house in her name and when he paid the [mortgage for the] first two years, then add him [to the home ownership].’
What Do You Think?
What do you think about this story? Do you think that you would have the nerves of steel to move back into your ex’s house with him and his new girlfriend? Or do you think OP’s friend was wrong in the first place for allowing her ex to be a joint owner of the home?
