The Most Freaky Thing a Boyfriend or Girlfriend Has Ever Done

Relationships can be full of surprises, and sometimes the unexpected can turn into the most crazy stories to tell. Here's a real-life tale that might give you a laugh—or, a chuckle at the least—about a time a girlfriend made a move that took everyone by surprise.

Breaking Up and a Debt Issue

It was a trying time in my life when I finally called it quits on a long-term relationship. My girlfriend and I were at a significant financial crossroads, and things had not been going well. She had a title loan on my truck, which was in her name for financial reasons. Unfortunately, she wasn't paying on it, a fact I was unaware of until a short while later.

While splitting up isn't a pleasant experience, the situation got even more complicated when the title company came to repossess the vehicle. With payday at hand, I was broke and in a bit of a panic, borrowing from my dad to keep the truck running. When the time came to buy back the title, I did some last-minute shopping—grabbing around 100 in gift cards and placing them inside an envelope to finance the purchase.

A Surprise Discovery and a Lost Envelope

After picking her up for a doctor's appointment, I went to help her load the truck, knowing it was her turn to put her things away. With everything happening so fast, I didn't notice she had taken the envelope containing the gift cards from my bill book. Once I found out about it, my frustration spiked; there was no denying the fact that she had made her move while I was in the bathroom. The gift cards inside the envelope were mysteriously gone, and I was livid, quickly calling her a 'stupid bitch'

I started rummaging through the house, but couldn't find the envelope. When I finally realized what had happened, my anger reached a boiling point. She had not only stolen a substantial amount of money but had done it without causing any conflict, not even admitting it until later. It was the betrayal and the stolen money that ultimately upset me the most.

As a final insult, she snuck off in the truck with a load of belongings, leaving no goodbye message. It took me several days to calm down enough to call her back, now and then venting my frustrations, in real life and over the phone.

Deeper Emotional Impact and Aftermath

The theft wasn't just about the money or the gift cards; it was about the sense of trust that had been shattered. She had access to the truck only as a loanee; the only other people who had access were her and her sister, someone I had no qualms about calling a 'thief'. Her sister's implication in the theft only added to the bitterness.

This event was particularly difficult because she still had a key to our shed, a place I kept extra supplies. After moving her belongings, I left the shed for a while. However, upon returning to the shed, I discovered that not only were the gas cans almost empty, but one of them had been taken entirely. The emotional distress and the financial impact of the missing gas added to the overall upset.

My neighbors must have been exhausted by the constant shouting, which was now channeled out of anger and frustration. When I finally reached her, explaining the situation, she knew exactly what I was talking about. She admitted that her sister had come over earlier and had taken the gallon of gas. It was a bitter lesson learned about the consequences of such actions.

In the end, the moral of the story is a stark reminder: Trust is paramount in a relationship, and financial misunderstandings can lead to emotional distress. If you're in a situation where you're planning to take something from your soon-to-be ex-partner, make sure you know they won't be able to find a way to retaliate. In this case, the theft only fueled my anger and caused further complications in our breakup.

Lessons Learned

We often underestimate how easily relationships can be broken and the emotional turmoil that can arise from financial misunderstandings. This experience has left a lasting impact and serves as a cautionary tale for those navigating similar situations. Trust and communication never go out of style.
