My ex-husband ended up with the house, car, and all our money after the divorce – and I laughed, because that was exactly what I had intended

Divorce was grueling for Barbra, but when Mike, obsessed with his image, demanded a split, she calmly agreed. In court, he coldly claimed the house, car, and savings, expecting her to fight. Instead, Barbra surrendered everything, asking only for her personal items. Mike, gloating, gave her until afternoon to leave “his” house. Barbra hid her smile, texting her mom, “Get ready for my sweet revenge.” Her mother, who loathed Mike’s ego,

had secretly ensured their house deal included a clause: she could live there anytime, indefinitely. That day, as Barbra settled into a nearby apartment, Mike called, furious—her mom had moved in, refusing to leave, and was already tormenting him. Barbra, savoring her toast and victory, reminded him of the agreement’s fine print. As her mom nagged Mike in the background, Barbra laughed, her clever revenge complete.
