YOU WONT BELIEVE: Unhinged couple relationship stories - You Need To See This

People can get pretty creative when they feel wronged by a partner. Research on revenge in romantic relationships suggests that people may retaliate because they want their partner to understand how much they were hurt or change their behavior.

This can make creative revenge feel like a way to get a message across, even when the method is questionable.

A study on reactions to perceived betrayal found that revenge is driven more by emotion than careful thought. People may also fail to consider whether their revenge will actually achieve anything.

Anger is not exactly known for helping someone make rational decisions. You can be furious in the moment, do something completely ridiculous, and realize later that it was wildly unnecessary.

When you’re angry, even small things can get under your skin and make you do crazy stuff. For couples, it doesn’t have to be something significant; everyday frustrations can trigger resentment and retaliatory behavior.

In fact, this research on “phubbing,” or feeling ignored because your partner is busy on their phone, found that people reported more anger and an urge to be petty on days when they felt like their partners weren’t paying attention to them.

After a fight, the way partners respond can shape what happens next, especially when one person has gone all-in on getting revenge. A study has found that after disagreements, partners may try to reconnect, keep the conflict going, or pull away from each other.

That makes you wonder how some of the couples in this list managed the aftermath of their arguments. After doing something this unhinged to your partner, do you just wake up the next morning and ask what they want for breakfast?

Forgiveness plays a huge role in how couples recover from conflict. Research on married couples has linked forgiveness and positive responses with better conflict resolution. Revenge-oriented responses, on the other hand, have been associated with unhealthy dynamics.

This doesn’t mean anyone has to forgive their partner for doing something outrageous. But it does suggest that keeping score can make it harder for couples to move past an argument and build a healthier, stronger relationship.

If this collection teaches us anything, it is that common sense tends to leave the group chat the second someone gets angry. When your partner annoys you, taking a breath before plotting revenge might save you from doing something you will regret later.

You may feel completely justified in the moment, but the aftermath can be much messier than the original argument, especially if the relationship doesn't survive it.
