Cheating Ex Tries To Land Partner With Phone Bill, Mom Intervenes


Those cheaters never win. In this case, we have a cheating ex who tried to land their poor partner with a hefty phone bill. Well, soon as mom heard wind of her son's immoral antics she handled the situation quickly. Getting the money back was nice, but you can't put a price on the value of having that last laugh. Good for them.

I'd been in a relationship with a guy (let's call him Steve) who seemed super nice on the surface but turned out to be pretty manipulative and a habitual cheater.

2.

Text - While we were together I took out a phone contract for Steve in my name, as his credit score was poor and the company wouldn't give him one. It was all fine and I never had any problems with him paying me back, even when we broke up. Then, a month before the contract was up, I had a bombshell dropped on me by a mutual friend who had found out the extent of Steve's cheating and lies and thought I deserved to know. I'd once been suspicious about Steve's relationship with a particular woman,

Text - Needless to say, I confronted Steve (though I did it as coolly as I could). I was pissed, l'd wasted literal years of my life being taken for an idiot. Not only that but the manipulation had continued long after the break-up, as we'd stayed "friends", and I was finally done with it. I told him that I was cutting him out of my life, and that I never wanted to hear from him again.

Text - My confrontation didn't go down well, but by this point he'd already sent me the money for the final month of the contract so I thought it was all ok on that front. I was wrong - turns out Steve could still rack up a pretty big charge if he went over his data allowance, something he'd always been super careful not to do. That's why I was pretty sure it was deliberate when I was sent a final bill for close to 80 dollars. I could have covered the bill and kept that door closed, but it would

Text - I contacted the company to make sure the charge wasn't down to some overseen contract clause, and that he really had stacked up that bill in excess charges alone. He had. Seems he didn't like no longer having control over me. Determined to get my money back, I tried to get in touch with Steve - but he'd blocked me on every single avenue of contact I had for him. It was then I realised that I still had his mother's number in my contacts.

Text - Immediately I texted her with an outline of what had happened - that l'd confronted her son about his treatment of me and that I was convinced he'd deliberately landed me with a big phone bill as some sort of petty pay-back. While she wasn't impressed that her son's drama was landing on her doorstep via me, she asked for proof of the bill and said she'd sort it. The money landed in my account within an hour and I was free of him forever. I wish l'd seen the look on his face when his mothe

Text - I know he occasionally still stirs shit about me years later, as the odd petty comment on his social media sometimes makes it back to me through friends - if anything, this makes my petty determination even sweeter. Having the money was nice, but getting the last laugh was better. TL;DR, my cheating ex didn't like being discovered and tried to get his own back by racking up charges on a phone bill I managed as a favor - I ratted to his mother and got every cent back, like to think I embar
