Breaking up with a partner is never easy - especially when you separate on awkward terms. After realising that her partner was cheating, a woman claims to have got 'nuclear revenge' - and people online are praising her 'brilliant' response.
Taking to Reddit, the anonymous user detailed how she publicly humiliated her partner of five years and the married woman whom he'd cheated with. Captioning her post on the popular forum, the woman wrote: "My ex cheated with a married woman, so I turned a pic of them into an ad."
Towards the end of their relationship, a variety of complications led to the relationship becoming 'rough' where the duo then had to consider counselling.
She explained: "I tried to get us into counselling, but I was the only one who went. The counsellor kept suggesting we talk and do things together. He'd go and do these things with this co-worker couple.
"Eventually, he started just hanging out with the wife (Karen), not the husband (Patrick), and it didn't take long for me to catch on that there was cheating, so I left and moved out. I worked at a gym, and Joe and Karen would go work out together regularly.
"I snapped a picture of them while they were there showing a little PDA. When people sign up at our gym, they sign a waiver stating that we can snap pics of them on the gym floor for our social media platforms.
"So, I posted it, shared it for Valentine's Day for our couples special, and made it an ad to run locally. Well, Patrick saw the ad. He showed up at my Joe's house, raising hell, dumping Karen's stuff out of the back of his truck into Joe's lawn and telling him that he could keep her.
"So, now Joe is panicking because his boss is angry that the whole situation is happening and they're losing two staff members. His boss also happens to be his landlord. On top of that, Joe didn't want to be in a relationship, much less live with anyone, so he made Karen get her stuff and try to find a place to stay.
"Joe texted me and asked if I would let her stay in my spare bedroom (he never realised that I'd put the ad up), and of course, I just left him on read."
"I don't know exactly what happened after that, except that Karen moved back in with Patrick again for a bit, then to Joe's house, and apparently brought her 20 year old daughter with her to his house to live with them," she added.
Flocking to the comment section of the viral post, Reddit users admitted they thought her revenge was done 'perfectly' and that they were 'very impressed'.
One person wrote: "That was actually nuclear revenge."
"I'm very impressed, love it," another gushed.
A third added: "Absolutely brilliant. Bravo!"
A fourth said: Congratulations OP. Karma didn't need to do anything, you already did the job perfectly!"
