DESTRUCTION

[Miss. Mocha]

What do you guys think about the destruction of personal property at the end of a relationship.

Recently, I had a very good friend of mine call me up, and actually brag about the way that she had demolished her babies' daddy belongings because she caught him cheating.

She regaled me with the story of how she took the scissors and "got to cuttin'" up everything in sight. Then, when her hands got tired from cutting, she got bleach, and bleached everything (including the fish in the fishtank) in her line of fire.

Is there ever a time when destruction is deserved?
If you are hurt badly enough, or if he gives you an STD, is it ok to damage his property?

I just want to get you all's opinions.

Also, do you think that destruction is becoming more common? Back in the day, ladies used to cut the crotches out of pants, but now days people are keying vehicles, killing pets, and holding children for ransom.

Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

Now I know this statement sounds a little strange when relating it to cheating men, but I don't ever want anyone to do anything like that to my things for any reason. I don't think it's right to destroy someone's property out of anger or hurt. It doesn't help you to move on. Maybe a person would feel better for a moment. But when you are in a more logical state, I would think that cuttin his clothes would make me feel childish and stupid. I can't speak for anyone else. I am a clothes horse. I live to go shopping. So if someone destroyed the fruits of my hours of mall walking and discount shopping, I might get a little psycho.

Besides all that, your friend might be looking for a lawyer following her actions. He has every right to sue her for destruction of property and get his money back.

Either way, it's not an ok thing to do. It is his stuff. I'd pack it in a trash bag and tell him to call Tyrone. And tell him come on help him get his....yall know the rest.

Ok, I do not agree with destructing other people's property but let us just say that I can understand. When you are in a complete rage and feel violated by someone because they hit you or cheated, some times you need to destroy things in order to feel better about yourself. But, this feeling is usually short lived because you later feel stupid and childish. (I do not know from experience). I say walk away and do not let the other person know that they have deeply affected you. They deserve nothing else. Plus, if you destroy his stuff and he calls the police or takes you to court, what are you going to do? So please think before you act! Just my two cents.

ROFLMAO I agree onesavvydiva!

But for real, there was this chick in Florida that destroyed her ex boyfriend's home. He pressed charges against her but the police couldn't arrest her because they didn't have any proof. She went on the Ricki Lake Show some time later and announced on national television that she trashed her ex's place. I mean she went into detail with exactly what she destroyed. Her ex-boyfriend showed a tape of the show to the police. She did not pass go. She did not collect $200. She went skraight, (yes I said skraight) to jail. She would have gotten away with it had she kept her big mouth shut!! BTW I'm not making this up, I saw it on the news.

I don't condone the destruction of property. I know I would be livid if someone destroyed the things I worked so hard to have. Just let it go..... What goes around comes around.....

Don't destroy it....PAWN it...

I wouldn't do it. My cousin did that to her ex and it cost her dearly. Her ex was a DJ so she decided to scratch his CD's and records. She also pawned a few items and destroyed clothes she had given him during the relationship. The guy just so happened to have had a cousin that went to law school and gave him legal advice. He took my cousin to court and won. She basically had pay for stuff twice. She had to reimburse him for the pawned items, lost wages because he didn't have music or equipment for the booked parties and weddings, and damages to his car. (My cousin went a little psycho) So we all learned an important lesson. It's not that serious. Let it go!!
