So the pettiest thing an ex has ever done to me was take pictures of him having sex with his ex who hated me, in our bed while we were “on a break”. He said he took these pictures because he wanted to be able to prove it to me. He didn’t think this was petty or childish. Mind you he was ten years older then me.

My ex was good with Apple technology and somehow figured out how to monitor my phone remotely from his computer. After I broke up with him he would monitor my phone if I wasn’t responding to him to see if I was texting other guys, and when he would notice new names or read my conversations he would remotely reply to them with random messages saying “sorry i need to cancel our date” or “I’m really into my ex still” right before I would be trying to go on dates. It ruined a few things with people and I had to get a new phone he couldn’t access.

My fiancé and I were planning a cruise to the Bahamas for our honeymoon next year. He PACKED ALL HIS STUFF while I was at an important doctor’s appointment (that he was SUPPOSED to take me to) because I yelled at him for not showing up. After he left, I booked that EXACT cruise for me, my mom, & my 2 daughters! So instead of getting married & going with him I’m gonna celebrate with the most important LADIES in my life! Oh, and when he was trying to talk to me after, I kept mentioning my vacation to the Bahamas, just to rub it in. Petty? Yeah. Satisfying? Oh HELL YES!

My ex bought me Spongebob the musical tickets for my birthday after I was telling him how much I wanted to go. Not only did it “not work out between us”, he bought the tickets in his name and didn’t give the gift. To top it off? He brought my best friend.

I had an ex contact me weeks after he dumped me to tell me our entire relationship was a lie and he had never loved me. After he spent almost a year telling me how in love he was and how much he wanted us to get married and all that crap. A different guy also left for a trip we were supposed to be on together without me, then called me from the hotel room to tell me he’d made it to the hotel and also we’re not dating anymore. He then kicked me off a video game server that I actively played on despite the fact that his exes had been on it for years and they never even played on it anymore.

I’m terrified of vomit and after we broke up, he would go to my work in the middle of the night and vomit on the door so when I would go to open up the next morning, surprise! My worst fear would be waiting for me! He would never admit it, yet when he moved away, it stopped…

Me, im the petty ex. While we were going through our divorce proceedings, my ex husband posted on facebook, “How can I force my b×××h of an ex wife to change her name?”
A friend of mine screen shotted it and sent it to me, so we are divorced so I still have his name just to spite him, because I was going to change it back.

I once drive two hours to return some of his stuff and get some of my stuff back only to be “ stood up” and I waited outside his apartment for hours without a response, called several times, knocked on the door profusely. After several HOURS of waiting I ended up driving three and a half hours back in traffic to find out later he’d been inside tho whole time drinking coffee.

I’m the petty ex in this situation, but a few weeks after we broke up, I went to his house to hang with his roommate. I found out my ex was hanging out with a new girl in his room, so I went downstairs, took the painting we made together off the wall, and left with it.

I dated the most jealous guy ever in high school. He constantly accused me of hooking up with our friends (insert a million eye rolls because that was the most ridiculous accusation ever). There was one particular male friend of ours that he was convinced I was secretly cheating on him with. Fast forward about 10 years later and said male friend had passed away. It was one of those situations that was devastating to me because I woke up to the news on Facebook. My ex boyfriend had called me to see (I thought so anyway) if I was ok and then proceeded with the following question: “Since (insert my male friend’s name here) is dead now, you can admit you slept with him.” I immediately hung up the phone, changed my phone number, and blocked his ass. So petty.

My ex and I lived together for almost a year. During the first few months, we got a dog together. Picked him out and fell in love with the dog together. However, he actually purchased the dog. I paid for the additional expenses (vet visits, food and supplies, etc). Fast forward almost a year. My ex cheats on me with MY OWN SISTER. Since he moved into my apartment, I told him to leave. He left and took our dog and GAVE HIM UP FOR ADOPTION. I understand that he paid for the dog so by law, it makes the dog his. But that was OUR dog. And with me paying more than he did in maintaining the dog as well as developing a closer bond than he did, it felt more like my dog. I would’ve gladly given him money for the dog. The dog was already in a loving home and my petty ass ex gave him away. There was no other reason to do it other than to hurt me. The price I had to pay for being cheated on was losing something I loved dearly and it wasn’t even the dude.

My ex was a football player in high school, and he despised the wide receiver and kicker who was my best friend. A couple years ago my best friend passed away and my ex had heard about it through his old football coach first, my friend was brain dead and they would be harvesting his organs within the next couple days. He called and told me and I appreciated it more than words could describe. One week after the funeral he drunk snapchats me telling me I should sleep with him as a REWARD for telling me my best friend was brain dead…. pettiness to another level.

2 years after breaking up with me I get a text from him reminding me of my $250 “tab” (my share of expenses from a trip we took when we were together), gives me a 3 month due date, and tells me he accepts PayPal, or Venmo. Happily paid so I could be done with it and him.
