My ex just Venmo requested me for 'emotional damages'.
By @vinceish · Dating
We broke up like three months ago. Today I got a request for $50 for 'making him sad'. Ngl I'm tempted to send him 1 cent with a crying emoji.
The full story
like is this real life? he broke up with ME. said we wanted different things. it sucked but whatever, i moved on. then today, boom. venmo request. $50.00. the note just says 'for the emotional damages and healing process'. im sorry WHAT. i literally had to read it 5 times. my friends are telling me to just block him but my hater-instinct is telling me to send him a penny and write 'thoughts and prayers' but i also dont want to engage. this is the weirdest thing an ex has ever done to me.
