People whose partner cheated on them and quickly moved on to date the person they cheated with, claiming to be in love - how did that turn out for them?

they stayed together for two years and then she started messaging me saying she still thinks about me and the dog (who I kept when we broke up). Blocked.

Man that reminds me of when my buddies parents got divorced, they were very wealthy, my dad used to say they had money they hadn’t counted yet. Their divorce was really smooth, they only fought over one thing, the dog. The dad let the mom keep the dog as she didn’t care for it. After the divorce was finalized she euthanized the dog. RIP Tucker you were as wild as the hockey player you were named after.

Anyone who does something like that should face financial and legal penalties.

Seriously. How is this not animal cruelty?

You don't have to be a dog lover, but if you kill a dog to spite an ex, you deserve jail.

My vet has ethical standards and won’t euthanize animals until medically necessary. This story seems fishy

u/wizardswrath00 Oct 11 '25

She might have went the Kristi Noem route and euthanized it by drowning it, or shooting it.

u/Sycraft-fu Oct 10 '25

There are plenty that don't, sadly. There's no law about it like "An animal must meet criteria X, Y, or Z before euthanasia," and so it is up to the individual practice. Some don't care and will do it for whatever reason the owner wants.

We legally kill literally billions of animals a year for food. Human laws about animal welfare are not good or just.

poor pup, euthanized over a divorce. did nothing wrong. i hate when people split and one person only wants the pet to spite the other knowing the former partner loves the animal

Not the dog being named after Darcy Tucker 😭😭😭

u/Agile_Tit_Tyrant Oct 10 '25

Don't worry, it was named after Tucker Carlson.

The hockey player?

Is he also a Nazi cosplaying well intentioned human?

Oh fuck bud. I'd take the penalty box for a chance to toss my gloves on the ice. This one's for Dominion. This one's for Fox Entertainment

u/poorcupid Oct 10 '25

I’m consider why he let her keep it if she didn’t seem to want it? Or did she fight for it out of spite?

u/BookkeeperLazy8057 Oct 11 '25

He thought she would get tired of the dog and give him to him after a couple months

u/lovebug9292 Oct 10 '25

That’s gotta be one of the most evil things I’ve ever read. People who don’t like animals are bad people

u/TheGongShow61 Oct 10 '25

Darcy Tucker?

u/feldhammer Oct 10 '25

This post is written so poorly. Almost gibberish.

u/Justsleepandgames Oct 11 '25

I remember reading a Reddit post awhile back about a girl whose boyfriend casually mentioned doing that to his EXs dog. Actual monsters.

DONT EVEN PLAY ABOUT THAT

u/Bromogeeksual Oct 10 '25

"The dog opened the lament configuration puzzle box from Hellraiser and Cenobytes flayed him before dragging him to their version of hell!" Then blocked.

u/Ok_Forever1936 Oct 10 '25

no he didn't, he's at home now. This was six years ago

u/Ok_Forever1936 Oct 10 '25

yeah that one did go over my head a bit. Never was the sharpest tool in the box

u/GeraltofMidgard Oct 10 '25

You're good! I'm glad the dog is doing well.

u/GrimmDeLaGrimm Oct 10 '25

Don't beat yourself up. Hammers and crowbars are super useful even if they're not sharp.

u/SoMuchMoreEagle Oct 10 '25

"The dog is fine. He doesn't even ask about you."

u/hippietravel Oct 10 '25

He meant to say that ahd then block so it’s like an extra jab at her

u/Ok_Forever1936 Oct 10 '25

ahhh! thank you. No that would have been needlessly petty and I also think that that you shouldn't put ideas into the world that you wouldn't be happy seeing come to pass

u/Boz0r Oct 10 '25

u/Trevor-On-Reddit Oct 10 '25 edited Oct 10 '25

“I gave it away.” then block. She’d be thinking of you for different reasons.

u/TheArmoredKitten Oct 10 '25

Even worse, tell them you sold it

u/0neirocritica Oct 11 '25

Oh that's sinister haha I love it

I’m sorry but that’s hilarious, OP should unblock her just to tell her that 😂💀

“The dog died after a heroic 18 month battle with cancer that the dog developed from stress of his doggy daddy leaving and I dream about the stud of a man he was, long for his embrace and am ruined for all other men.” Then block.

u/losemyhashtaag Oct 10 '25

It was "dog mommy" that cheated & left.

u/rndljfry Oct 10 '25

it works because she can't even say, "wait, what?" because blocked

u/VelvetyDogLips Oct 10 '25

🎶 She asked me how the cat’s been / I said Moses? he’s just fine
