Young love, am I right? There is nothing quite like falling in love, prior to having a blueprint. Although the saying 'love is blind' is not exclusive to teenagers, it is seen a lot during those years. But hey, your brain does not even fully develop until age 25. No wonder all of my own dating sprees got better with age. Now, I am picking partners that don't spike my anxiety. How fun.

In any case, u/BBQingMaster shared their story on Reddit, a story that included himself, his dad, his girlfriend and her new lover. Basically, OP was dating his girlfriend for 3 years before they moved in together. After just 6 short months, his girlfriend cheated on him. Of course, she cheated while owing him money, which just adds another layer of 'unfair' and 'wicked' to the whole story, but maybe that is just me.

Because she refused to pay OP back, he found a clever way to come up with the money. Scroll down to read all about it. Next up, a mother who grounded her kid for six whole months after they broke a vase.

    Font - Posted by u/BBQingMaster 8 hours ago Ex wouldn't pay me back, so I made her pay via the bell bill. This was a few years ago now, but I find it fun to think about. Not sure if it belongs here. Started dating at 15, moved in together at 18, and within 6 months of living together she cheated on me. She owed me something like $800, for one months rent and for a

    Font - The tv/internet bill was in her name. We had cable. The fact that she owed me money was documented via email. I very strategically sent many emails asking her to confirm that she was aware she owed me money, and how much. I also asked if we could just deduct my portion of the cable bill from the debt she owed me.

    Font - On the second last month of our lease, she was hounding me for my portion of the internet/cable bill (about $30). Wouldn't take no for an answer and threatened to not pay and have it turned off. Had another roommate in school who needed it, so I paid my part. By this time she was staying with the man she cheated on me with so she wasn't really around ever.

    Font - For some reason when she moved all her stuff out, she left the cable box and wifi router. I guess assuming cause I was still paying for/using it. I brought my own tv to use after her and her new boyfriend came in one day and took hers without saying anything, while I was actively watching it with a tinder h p. That was an awkward night. Edit: to be more clear, I mean it was her TV they

I knew I was never getting my money back, so I had an idea. Buy every channel that exists, all extras I could buy just with the 4-digit pin. Before this, I emailed her one last

These purchases began a week or two before I moved back in with my parents. I bought every channel individually, bought and rented movies, even started paying for pay per view

    Font - р cause I thought it was hilarious. Kept track of everything I purchased and racked the bill up to almost exactly how much money she owed me, leaving a bit of space in case I miscalculated. About $750. When she got the bill I was back with my parents. She came to my parents house bill in hand, my father answered the door. Meekly

    Font - stated something like "BBQingmaster spent so much on this bill, I can't afford it" to which my father responded "use the money you owe to pay for it" and closed the door on her. I was listening and out of sight. Whether or not she ended up having to pay, I'll never know. But it felt good to do at the time.

    Font - Edit: Fun detail I'd like to add here. They were engaged to each other after two or three months. They are still engaged to this day, 4 and a half years later (still not married). She is pregnant with his child.

    Font - pnwcatman420 +1. 6 hr. ago cable companies are pretty relentless in collecting what they are owed, if she was smart, she went on the payment plan and paid it off over time but she does not sound smart, so it probably went to collections and on her credit report. 248 Reply Share

    Font - have taken my so to the kitchen and have a long long talk on how funny it was and how proud of him I was. We would then have a drink and watch whatever tv or film we felt like at the time. If she was still waiting after all that I would have told her to pay it out of the money she owed. 3 Reply Share

If yes, where do you live and do you know that law specifically? 2 Reply Share BBQingMaster OP . 1 hr. ago Idk, I was 19 and scared that the bill wouldn't be paid while the lease was still in both of our names.
