After they chose to split up, Gina’s life was turned upside down when Brendan, her husband, became angry and mean all of a sudden.
Brendan’s behavior kept getting worse, even though she tried to stay quiet and collected. Eventually, he did something shockingly rude.
Gina came home from a weekend with her parents to find her furniture strewn out on the yard and a sign letting anyone take what they wanted.
Gina found Brendan’s father’s valuable watch among the broken-up things, showing how badly his plan to get back at them had failed.
Gina felt like she had won when she had the watch, and it gave her power in the divorce process. She texted her friends to ask them to help her move the furniture back inside. When Brendan understood what he had done wrong, he had to talk to Gina about getting the watch back.
After a tense talk, Brendan finally agreed to pay $500 to get the watch back. Gina couldn’t help but feel good about herself as they said goodbye. She had stopped her ex-husband’s small-scale payback.
Because of this sudden change of events, their nasty divorce was over, and Gina was ready to move on with her life. She had shown that she wouldn’t be scared or bullied, and that sometimes the best way to get back at someone is to stay cool.
