There is very thin distance just like hair between love and hate. People can be way different reacting to each other. Yes people do such cruel things. My ex tried to ruin my job. So basically yes.

That's outrageous! It's scary to think that someone would want to ruin another's life that way.

Have you heard lots of stories like this? I can't believe someone would go that far to cause someone to lose their job.
Well, the guy in the story must not have been too bright if he didn't change every password he had the minute they went their separate ways such that she could get in and send that stuff to his boss in the first place.

But anyway, yes, I know someone whose ex-wife caused so many problems at his job by constantly calling, harassing, haranguing, emailing, showing up and causing scenes, and so on that he got fired.

Honestly? I think it's kind of ridiculous that a boss or company would hold a worker responsible for a lunatic acting like a lunatic, myself. I mean, there's really no way to stop it short of a restraining order, and even then, people disregard those all the time. If anything, the company should feel an investment in their employees. I worked someplace where a woman was being stalked and they increased security and a couple of our male coworkers would walk her to her car every night.

After my mother divorced, my sperm donor found out where we lived and one day when she was getting home, he was parked right in front, opened the window, called her, showed her an axe and told her it would end up in her neck one day.

We eventually moved to another place and to this day we have to keep it a secret.

People can be pretty malicious. I personally wouldn't want someone to get fired.. especially pertaining to another person's livelihood just bc we had a fall-out, dating or not.

Speaks volumes about a person's character just cus they feel rejected!

Some can be very vindictive, and when they are hurt, they get angry. I am guilty of these feelings. Never acted on anything though. except when I was in school years ago. Otherwise, my thoughts just tend to be nasty.

A story I did hear, really-it's clips on youtube.
Spoiler
A girl and guy were engaged, or were going to be and she knew about it after finding the ring. However, she had been cheating on him, and still cheated after finding the ring. She went on the radio, and the host asked her how she'd like to be proposed to, she goes into the drawn out romantic thing, gushing etc. So they brought her boyfriend on, and it's got drum rolls and set up like he's about to propose, but instead he asks her how long it'll take her to get her crap out of his house, and she had until Sunday to get it out. The argument followed with the radio host, and his side guy laughing at her, mocking her, her boyfriend yelling at her, until she hangs up in tears saying she hates him. The host says she hung up, but he doesn't care since she wasn't a listener. lol

That is immature and mean of him to go that far, but I can't say I felt too bad for the girl though. But it worked out anyhow. She married the guy she cheated with I think.

This is nothing. I've seen FAR worse. I've experienced far worse. I never understood it. This thirst for revenge. Causing problems with work is just one arrow in the quiver of relationship revenge. A married couple that is divorcing can see tactics that make biological warfare look tame.

Personally, I feel such things are NEVER justified. When two people split the sheets, its fine to be emotional, angry, whatever. BUT, when one or the other starts attacking, with financial, emotional, even medical, ruination in mind, acting with batted and vindictive malice, it needs to be stopped in its tracks. People are often way over the top, and the things that are allowed to happen are as criminal as any rape or murder.

Divorce , especially, laws need revisiting, and more and more these days, LTRs result in the same damages. Without any protection or even concern for the one being attacked, and often ending up with a life in shambles. It is something that needs accessed. There should be legal protection that doesn't require further ruination from having go retain massively expensive legal services.

Many people are highly vindictive and also not particularly compelled to take the high road when dumped. I was lied to and cheated on, but for my part, I figured my ex would be adept enough at creating his own misery in life without my doing anything. Plus, being able to walk away with totally clean hands and your dignity in a situation where you were badly wronged is priceless currency.

I think that frustration for revenge comes when it's discovered that the person was already in the pic before the split
