  • Moving out everything
  • Several years ago my best friend was unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend of three years. This man had told her he loved her, had been talking about marriage, had encouraged her to quit her job and go back to school, and gave every appearance that he wanted to care for her. A couple
  • of weeks after she resigned from her job and applied for her master's degree, he abruptly informed her that he had never loved her and that it was over. We later found out that he had cheated on her. Of course, my friend was blindsided and hysterical, but
  • h I hath no fury like a woman's support circle. She gathered herself and decided fairly quickly that she would not be able to stay in the apartment with him, and he agreed that she should move out - despite her having nowhere to go and no income (of which he had both). She calls
  • me and a few of her family members to come help her move, and we do so within a 12 hour period while the ex is crashing at his brother's for the day. Here's the kicker, of course - as is apparently somewhat typical of men in their younger twenties,
  • this man had not contributed to furnishing this shared apartment. Every stick of furniture down to the mattress belonged to my friend. Every dish, every towel, every piece of decoration, every appliance - you name it, it was hers. And we took it all. Even the
  • mattress. Even the shower curtain. We left that man with nothing at all except for a tv tray, a dog bowl (sitting on top, of course), his Xbox (sitting unplugged on the floor), and a sword, which was the sole bit of decoration he'd contributed. My final touch was to throw the
  • wheeled ring under the microwave tray on top of the kitchen cabinets and to leave an onion hidden at the top of the closet. I had the pleasure of telling him to go f himself when he tried to reach out after seeing his dog bowl living situation.

  • My friend moved in with me and slept in my dining room for a month while gathering up her life. She now has her masters and is happily engaged. Last we heard of ex, he was dating someone twice his age and is not, despite many attempts to be one, a cop.
  • Writerhowell I hope your friend also got checked out for potential viruses. It's amazing what women can achieve when not weighed down by the unnecessary baggage of a useless waste of space type of 'man'. Congrats to your friend on her masters!
  • lucwin2020 BIG props for you and others to rally around your friend and help her overcome an obstacle and thrive! 100 The ex not achieving his goals is karma and couldn't have happened to a more worthy person.
  • tree-climber69 I applaud your genius level of petty, your loyalty to your friend! Id have maybe added a small sack of potatoes to the onion.
  • Zealousideal_Fail946 I love this so much. I once helped a friend move out of a bad roommate situation. The gods were smiling on us that day. They were home and sleeping in their room. We were able to get everything out without them waking up. Felt good. He got a new start.
  • Puzzled-Mushroom8050 "H_I hath no fury like a woman's support circle." I can't love this enough. Knowing I had a support circle was what gave me the strength to end a toxic marriage. I don't know where I'd be without them. OP, thank you for being in your friend's circle.
  • rocksparadox4414 The wheeled ring from the microwave and the onion still have me giggling, hours after reading this post. So funny!
  • Serious-Echo1241 Why did he call? Did he think your friend was going to leave all her stuff for him to use after he dumped her? Silly rabbit.
  • McRachael23 I did this to a roommate of mine. She yelled at me and told me to get out of the apartment. So, I did. And I took almost everything. I even took the shower curtain because I bought it. There was a third girl who also lived there, and she wasn't bad, but she wasn't great either, so I didn't care. I heard they lasted another two months before they were evicted.
