A harsh breakup can make all of us do things we could never imagine.
When our hearts are hurting, all we can think of find ways to distract the mind from the pain or finding someone new to love.
And in our quest to move on, we end up doing the most shocking things!
And so, here are 5 people who share the most shocking thing they did after they broke up with their partner.
1. Heightened stalking skills
“After I broke up with my former ex, I had become so sensitive that I started keeping a track on what he was up to. I even started new social media accounts just to stalk him to see who he was with. It completely destroyed my mind but it had become an addiction. I had to see a therapist at last because my ex caught me stalking him at full range.”
Shile, 26 years old
2. Feelings of jealousy
“I transformed myself into this handsome hunk post-breakup just to make my ex-girlfriend jealous. I had girls falling for me all the time but my mind stayed put on her. And so, when I finally managed to hook up with my ex, I was happy that I managed to make her jealous and she made an effort to win me back. Turns out, it was the last memory she wanted to have before moving uptown.”

3. Baggage and responsibilities
“After I broke up, I immediately got a pet for myself. I was told, finding a new hobby or something to love will heal my broken heart. But now, as much as I love my pet dog, it’s a huge responsibility that I’m still not ready to take on. It’s just like raising a child!”

4. Big-time revenge
“My ex cheated on me with someone at a drunk party. It devasted me but I quickly planned revenge. And so, I kissed his best friend at another drunk party and loved the look on his face. I will forever feel horrible but at least, a little sweet revenge hurts nobody.”

5. Distractions
“I submerged myself into the world of partying, drinks, smoking when I got over a three-year-old relationship that mattered a lot. I ended up doing things a lot worse than before and it hurt me more than I realized it would. I was clinging onto these habits to help me get over the breakup but I ignored the part where I should have allowed myself to grieve and slowly move on for some time.”
