    Font - This is pretty tame compared to others here, but I couldn't do much more at the time, and this still gets comments from his friends. My ex husband was a POS. 10 year relationship, 4 months of marriage all down the drain in 1 morning when he tried to throw me off our balcony & then attacked me when he realised he was too weak to pick me up.

    Font - I had him arrested & he went to prison but only for a week. When he got out, he told his solicitor what certain things he definitely wanted that I couldn't keep; his tv and his PlayStation.

    Font - I was pissed. The PlayStation was bought with vouchers and money that our friends and family had given us for our wedding and he decided to spend one day whilst I was at work. As were a lot of the games. But fine. He wanted them back he could have them back. I was keeping his beloved gaming PC and our cat so I felt I was wining in some sense.

    Font - However, he really should have been more specific. See, when he said he wanted the TV and the PlayStation back, that's what he got. That's all he got. I kept everything else. The power cables. The remotes. The controllers. The games.

    Font - And, as I had a restraining order against him and his family, he had no way of contacting me. At least, not until I filed for divorce a few months later, where my solicitor discovered he wanted them back as part of the settlement. Unfortunately for him, she agreed that I gave him exactly what he asked for so no, he doesn't get them back. Moral of the story? Be specific.

    Font - theyarnllama +1 - 23 hr. ago My mother did this when she divorced my stepfather. He listed things he wanted from the house. One thing he wanted was the camera bag. The implication was that he wanted the contents as well: the camcorder (nifty new tech at the time) and the cords and batteries and tripod. He didn't specify that, though, so all he got back was the bag.

    Font - Haunting Water_180 +1. 1 day ago Not the most petty ever written, but sure petty enough for me, given the situation! Just glad you're OK, that's not a given in such cases! And I love the fact that you found wiggle room for your petty revenge!

    Font - FullmoonCrystal . 1 day ago I love this method of revenge, well done! Could have done a full factory reset ofc. That way, it would have nothing on it if he got everything needed to use it. He didn't ask for save files, and maybe it was logged into an account or two of yours, better make sure all your info was removed from it so he couldn't stalk or track you through it - just if you needed a defense about it.

    Font - I have several generations of playstation, so my first thought was that you gave him the wrong playstation, like his old, beat-up, barely working one that was in an attic for the last 10 years, knowing full well what he meant, doubly so after learning it was bought with your wedding gift vouchers and money, not his money. Getting spare parts like controllers and cables can be difficult and expensive for the older ones.

    Font - Marysews +1.5 hr. ago Be specific. My oh my, yes. My divorce settlement included child support until my daughter was 18. Ex thought that meant when she graduated high school in the spring. She didn't turn 18 until the fall. His lawyer told him it would cost less to continue child support through her birth month than to fight my request to continue for about four months.
