You know how they say pizza and sex are the same: even when they're bad, they're still pretty good? Well, breakups are like the total opposite. Even when they're not the most intensely ugly breakup ever, they still pretty much suck.
But while a breakup is never that pleasant, there are some that are so so bad, adding insult to what's already a huge injury to your heart, that I don't know how people stand it. And this week, I've spotted two examples that made me cringe in sympathy. (Click the links in each to read the much longer, more detailed stories.)
First, I present you to the case of the millionaire and his wife, who divorced but continued living together. Until he moved in another woman, and then asked his ex-wife if she'd just stay in the house too as the housekeeper. Unsurprisingly, she became aggressive.
Second, I present to you the case of the woman who donated her kidney to save her ailing husband. Aww. Only soon after the operation, the husband allegedly cheated on her, and now? Now, she wants the kidney back. Ouch.
Seriously, are these not two of the most painful, salt-in-your-wound breakup stories you've ever heard? I'm suddenly feeling grateful for my past disasters, which at least didn't include any bodily operations or consolation offers of employment.
What's the worst breakup story you've ever heard?
