However, this thread has the makings to be among the most epic in DCUM history.

Someone I know showed me the thread, thinking it sounded like my situation. Yeah...it was. I joined in on page 7.

In the end, in January, I filed for divorce. For cause -- proved adultery. She would not agree to anything short of 1/2 my (inherited & grown money). Because of the thread, which was admitted into evidence, ex ended up with very little. The judge yelled at her -- told her if she could, she would give me all the marital assets. Instead, she got no alimony, 1/2 401k (430K), and I bought her out of her half of the house. Plus, because DD is living with me, ex has to pay child support -- $500/month. (has not happened yet)

I have a house that is paid for, 4.8 mil in assets (was 4 in Dec, but market did well).

She is living in a crappy apartment, and was also dumped by the ex. Oh, DD will not speak to her right now.

GOOD FOR YOU! THAT WAS KARMA. Your ex sounds like an awful person.

Am I the only one who thinks the exhusband sounds much worse than the exwife? Why wouldn't he use at least a little of that money to fix up the house? Shows that he was never really fully committed to the marriage, if you ask me.

And what is really low.. who GLOATS about the fact that a daughter won't speak to her mother? A good father will try to build understanding between his children and their mother. Not revel in the destruction of their relationship. Using the children against an ex-spouse is about as low as it gets, parenting-wise.

Disagree. He said earlier he didn't have to tell his daughter because she figured it out when mom moved into a one-bedroom apartment with another guy. Reporting here that his daughter is not talking to the mom, however it sounds to you, is way different from bad-mouthing the mom to the daughter, which does put the daughter right in the middle.

FWIW, my ex tried to use the kids against me, the kids both saw right through it, and both were estranged from him for most of the year after he left.

Also, we don't know what he was planning to do with the money. Maybe he was getting ready to shell out for the kitchen she said she wanted, right up to the moment she gave him chlamydia. Maybe he was thinking of buying a new house--$600k isn't a lot for a house on this area, especially for somebody sitting on $4m. You have no idea about whether he's stingy.

anyway, he was soon done with me, and moved on to another cashier, cashier #2 who he cheated on me with. Outwardly, I did and said nothing to contribute to drama, just let it go.
Then he cheated on *her* with cashier #3.

That's when I began my campaign of prank calls. This was in the days when you could prank call, it was before caller id was ubiquitous.

Cashier #2, who had stolen my BF, got the blame. I was really, really happy about that.

Well. There's nothing to see here folks, move along.

I was on the yearbook committee and in charge of Senior Class photos, both formal and candids. I switched a bad portrait of her (not embarrassing or anything just not an attrtactive version) with the good one she had chosen. The yearbook was published like that. She was very vain and so beyond furious and complained to the admonstration so I got yelled at but that was about all they could do.

I have felt bad about it for years. It was a far too permanent form of revenge. If I ever see her again I will apologize but 30+years later I have never seen her and she isnt in contact with any of our old friends. Because of this, I dont "do" revenge anymore. I figure the universe takes care of balance and try hard to just let things go.

The universe does not take care of balance. Shitty people live a long life and sweet children die of cancer.

Trolling a revenge thread. What does that say about you?

I did something similar! Not with the person's senior portrait, because that would have been more obvious, but I choose a few candid group shots in which she looked horrible.

In my first job after college I saw that the boss' son was hired to be an intern while in college along with his best friend they were being paid $22/hr each. That was $10-$12 more than what I along with some of my other entry level co-workers were making. Not only did the nepotism upset me, but during my 1 year review I was told that I was being given the highest raise they'd ever given an employee at their one year anniversary because I was such an awesome worker. That "biggest raise ever" was $0.75 more per hour.

I started interviewing soon after that and once I'd secured another job, I "accidentally" left a photocopy of one of their pay stubs in the printer for someone to find. Luckily it was a co-worker with a big mouth who had been with the company for 5 years and who was only making $30k/year. He along with two others quit that day. Just walked right out the building and did some paper throwing and chair flipping on the way out. About 6 more gave their 2 weeks notice, along with me, and I found out later that 4 more people left over the next few months.

I remember a "bad boy" ex-boyfriend from high school that worked at a pet store and hated the store manager. I cannot remember the initial reason for their disagreement, but for revenge the ex peed in his manager's tea that was kept in the staff refrigerator. It was the most disgusting, devious thing I had ever heard of someone doing to another out of anger. I don't know if the manager actually drank the tea one day. He also stole from the store. He was bad news. We were not together long after that and it was the last time I ever dated or talked to a rebel.

Two of the regular posters on the message board got into heated arguments that usually devolved into personal insults. The female poster, K, was quite funny and very popular with the in-crowd on the board. The male poster, S, was a bit quirky/on-the-spectrum and not as popular. Ironically, both of them attended the same Ivy League university, though I'm not sure they knew each other from there. K would mercilessly lay into S. I believe she may have even humiliated him in-person a number of times.

After a while, S devised a plot to turn K's message board screen name (which included her real-life first name) into a street art meme. He began plastering the city with stickers of "STFU [K's screenname]" and taking photos, then uploading them to the message board. It caused quite a scandal as many message board posters thought it was hilarious, while others (mostly female) thought it was a form of harassment. He began a blog that documented the proliferation of his meme, giving out thousands of stickers to random strangers. He started getting photos of the sticker in random cities all over the world.

He made hundreds of t-shirts with the "STFU [K's screenname]" logo printed on them and gave them out to a ton of NY'ers. K would be out at a bar or on the subway and see a random person with the "STUF [K's screenname]" t-shirt. It completely pissed her off.

That all happened over 10 years ago. The message board shut down probably 5 years ago. S is still keeping up his art project and has successfully showed branded objects and photos with the "STFU [K's screenname]" logo at art gallery shows. He's sold tens of thousands of dollars woth of "STFU [K's screenname]" merchandise. I think he even trademarked K's screen name.

That is the most epic trolling I've ever seen in my life. The gag has been going on for close to 15 years.

If this is all true, this defines "epic."

I have a stock portfolio that my parents created for me back in college. It was created as an emergency fund and if needed, house downpayment, etc. They actually put a lot of money into it. I never needed it. I was in my 30s when I got married. We had to have a prenuptial for several reasons and this was one of the items that got included, I put in that this was to be kept as non-marital. It has continued to grow. My wife also had some accounts and her federal retirement that are listed as separate in our pre-nuptial. We have had enough to survive on our own and have kept the pre-marital funds separate. If we get to the point where the kids have graduated college and I have not used it (unlikely), then I have spoken with my parents and it will go into the trust for our children. This way the money stays in our family. But at this point, if we divorce, our marital assets are plenty big enough for both of us as long as we aren't greedy (and neither of us is generally).

Not using pre-marital money that is supposed to be an emergency cushion for frivolous things like upgrades to your house is not a lack of commitment to the marriage.

This is the least impressive story. I am having a different and bad reaction. People get paid differently for various reasons in the marketplace. Usually it's gender or race or the people's varying degrees of people skills. It can be connections too. How many sons could the owner have had? They were temporary interns, the mature thing would have been to let it go. That so many quit makes me wonder how responsible of a bunch this group was. Sounds like high schoolers behavior. . What job was this?

The son isn't providing more value than seasoned, experienced employees. I promise you that. Giving the kid $22/hour - nearly 100% more than full-time employees - is merely a tax dodge by the father. A means to transfer assets without triggering inheritance taxes. I have a few friends with "jobs" at their parents' companies. They get paid very well and work, maybe, 20 hours per week. They provide little value.
