I pulled this on my husband, soon to be ex. We had been married for 15 years. I had just given birth to our second child. I knew he wasn’t happy about out first child and he let it be known he didn’t want the second. Everything was fine until we had kids, then he started doing his own thing and treating me horribly. I was sick with worry, trying to work, and was taking care of the home and children alone.

One day, I got a call from a guy who told me that he had a Private Investigator follow his wife and my husband. He had proof of their affair and his evidence fit. I believed him. After a long talk, he said that he wanted to save his marriage and asked what he could do to break them up.

I told him -“Simple! My soon to be -ex ( I knew I was done at this point) is a big coward. You just need to call him and scare him.” He said.”I can do better than that.”

This guy was a building contractor. He loaded a bunch of his biggest guys on his crew in his truck and they were waiting to catch my -ex at his favorite hang out. He flew home that night-frightened out of his wits. First time we had seen him before 9 PM since the baby was born.
He wanted all the doors and windows shut that night. The next morning, he woke up to all the blinds and windows opened. I had pulled his truck out of the garage and into the front yard so my son could ride his trike. This really put him in a panic! He also wanted the phone off the hook, but somehow it was hung back up. He jumped every time it rang. I actually got my sister to call and hang up several times.

The contractor called to thank me and asked if he could do anything to help me. I had one favor to ask. He said with pleasure.

When we went to divorce court, my attorney presented all of the evidence collected by the private investigator.
My ex had no idea this was coming and his attorney sat down and put his hands over his eyes.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.
