I have a psycho ex-girlfriend, she called the frikkin' cops on me, lying repeatedly to them about me.

And when I say psycho, I mean psycho.

Am I furious here? Damn right! :grr:

3. Stories. I have stories.
Maybe I should tell the one about a girlfriend in college who rammed her car into mine repeatedly, until they became "as one." When I called the cops, they asked if she was still in the area, and I said, "Yep. She's in the blue Honda Prelude attached to my white Mazda GLC.

No? Well, perhaps the one who stole her roomie's credit cards and ID, used her roomie's identity to buy a pickup truck in her roomie's name, took said pickup across the state line, and totaled it. Then she fled the country. Man, nothing like federal agents showing up on your doorstep at 7:00 on a saturday morning...

Still not biting? I have other stories to tell!

:grr:

And I thought my ex-girlfriend was bad.

What happened to your psycho ex-girlfriends?

For the ladies though, how about psycho ex-boyfriends?

13. Not sure about Lady No. 1, but Lady No. 2 is still abroad and on the lam.
Last I heard she was in England, probably making some poor Limey's life a living Hell.

23. Identity theft, fraud (numerous counts), and grand theft auto
And the twist of lime to her little adventure: when she crossed state lines, they became Federal charges,

Should have known about this one. My father, who never really said anything pro or con about any of the ladies I was seeing, pulled me aside when I was dating Psycho No. 2 and said, "Get away from her - she's nothing but bad news." Father knows best!

11. lol
these are making me feel better.

I had one cut her wrist in my driveway, but it was just a paper-cut really, but still she tied her wrist to her steering wheel and pretended to be dead when I drove up and found her. Then, later that night after she left, she called me and pretended to shoot her self over the phone, inspiring me to drive to her town at about 100 miles an hour, find her apartment complex, get the landlord up in the middle of the night and have her unlock the apartment to find her not there. I found out later that she had done that several times in the past.

There are a couple of others I don't even want to go into, because it gets embarassing the crap that I've put up with...

Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 10:53 AM by mikeytherat
Oh, well, sounds like we both did better than I guy who used to work with me:

Doorbell rings early one night, guy opens door, psycho-ex hits him across with face with a small 2x4. Broke his nose and a cheekbone, but his psycho-ex is still locked up.

26. Oh, I did (eventually)!
And I've been married 16 years to my best friend!

Mrs. Rat and I often joke that we were the inspiration for "When Harry Met Sally" (right down to not really seeing each other all year, then going out on New Year's Eve several years in a row!).

22. those are the absolute worst, period.
I had one that was amazingly strong...she had a really small frame and was only a couple of inches taller than me, but she would hold me down and restrain me until I fought back, then...well, it just got worse from there. She always did this right before time for me to go to work, too, looking back it's obvious she was trying to make me lose my job because at the time I had a really good job (and spent just about all that money on her). She had some medical problems (or said she did, I'm not so certain now) and she was very outgoing and made friends very easily, which I don't, so before long she had a whole community of people feeling sorry for her because of her health problems and then spun the tale that I was physically abusing her. It was a nightmare of epic proportions. Worse, it was a recovery community, which I had to have as part of my own sanity, but she had many of them despising me because I was supposedly beating the poor little sick girl. A pathological liar and manipulator like that I have never met since, thank god. I didn't know her well AT ALL before I met her and we moved to another state together right off of the jump, and she pulled that restraining crap on me the very first night we moved. It just went downhill from there. By the grace of God, SHE left ME just a few months later. I realized after a while that that was her pattern (the Karpman drama triangle, too much to go into here)...I'm just glad she moved on.

9. I have a psycho ex-boyfriend
He is bipolar and off meds. He abused me when he lived with me. These days he is suffering more than ever, it makes me so sad to see him like this. :-(

I think he was bipolar (there's family history) but he was not seeking treatment.

16. In this town if you are poor and without insurance
it's next to impossible to get any kind of mental health help. It's there, but you have to jump through major hoops to get it and most people just don't bother. It sucks...

32. He's been hauled away in an ambulance before
after one of his episodes. The county hospital which has a mental health ER was full so they took him to another hospital that didn't have mental health facilities. They just let him lay there sucking on ice chips and sent him home.

18. Well, he was on the wrong meds to begin with
he was on meds for depression but wasn't on anything for his mania. Now he's not on anything because he didn't want to ride the bus to the clinic and is very, very, depressed. Well, he's cycling, I never know who I am gonna get when I visit him. :-(

21. I've had two.
One poured a 2 liter pepsi in my gas tank, and one was a serious alcoholic that would get really drunk in public places.

The sugar seriously fucks it up, and styrofoam can turn it into homemade napalm

37. The sugar in the pepsi did gum up the works
I had to replace the fuel line, filter and the gas tank. My mistake was not listening to my friends when they warned me about her.

24. Let's see....
Does the one who after we broke up went out and slept with a bunch of guys to get pregnant (successfully) and then told me that the baby was mine (it wasn't) in order to get back with me, count as psycho?

Actually, I've had more bad experiences with the girls psycho ex-boyfriends. Those are some scary stories.

Besides ALL women are a little psycho, once you accept that and stop looking for a sane one, you can get married. :)

34. My ex-wife did a complete 180 after we divorced
After I got divorced, my ex-wife seemingly changed her personality.

While we were together, my ex was very high maintenance – she labeled herself as high maintenance, not me. She was also the one that generally took the lead in the relationship: she initiated sex the first time, and every time after that; she told me to ask her to get married; she spent money how she pleased and would get furious if I said we were spending too much (and my salary was like 4x her salary, and I worked 3-4x the hours, too!); I also ended up doing 90% or more of the housework after we got married – and I did most of the work walking and training her dog, too. I basically bent over backwards to accommodate her and try to keep her happy, while enduring criticism for just about every little thing in hopes of trying to just be good enough to turn things around. (our marriage quickly went downhill...) Heck, she even asked me when she filed for divorce if I was going to counter-sue her for mental abuse.

Oddly enough, after she filed for divorce, we ended up getting along better. We talked on occasion, and got together to chat a few times. (no breakup sex, unfortunately) The divorce was final in mid 2000 after a few delays, and we continued to talk for the next few months – then, she stopped calling late in the year.

But, about 9 months after the divorce was final - some time in early 2001 - she called me to talk briefly, and was telling me about this new guy she met. But, she told me that she did not call me anymore because of her new boyfriend, and that I should not to email her anymore, and to not even try to call her because her new boyfriend did not like that she was married before and forbid her from contacting me. I was kind of in shock, as if I had “forbid” my ex from doing something, I would have either been ignored, laughed at or yelled at, “how dare you forbid me from...” But, I knew well enough not to even think of forbidding – heck, I got reamed for saying we should cut down on the number of expensive restaurants we go to each week. But, it was such a 180 from the free spirited woman I knew from earlier.

36. I dated a girl who carved part of my name in her thigh
It was, in retrospect, a bit premature as an act of commitment, because we mysteriously broke up soon thereafter.

It sounds funnier when seen in hindsight, but she was formally diagnosed as psychotic, so I guess that qualifies.

38. After we broke up, we weren't psycho.
Neither one of us. Miracle cure. But maybe she still thinks of me as her psycho ex-boyfriend.

You should probably move to another country, South Africa maybe, and not tell anyone where you are. Joining the Marines and going to Iraq might work too.

Despite the fact that she cheated on me, she still haunts me.

I've moved, changed jobs, and just this week, changed my phone number. That ought to end things once and for all (I hope). :scared:

Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 01:27 PM by HEyHEY
How about telling people I was taken from her house by the police?
How about trying to get people to beat me up?

She was fucking nuts.
And the worst thing is I never did a damned thing to bring this on. We broke up and I just wanted life to go on... then all these rumours and shit started coming out of nowhere.
