Malicious compliance or the dumbest idea you ever heard?
When things don’t go our way is normal to feel not only hopeless but also mad. This irritation may showcase itself in weird ways that may not always be the best ones. Anger tends to get the best of us, and that is, in fact, completely understandable. Especially during divorce is normal for emotions to take the place of our brain. To stop thinking about actions and consequences and instead just act in the way that you feel would be the most damaging for the other person. Someone you used to love, but now you hate so deeply that the thought of inconveniencing them makes you thrilled. This is normal. You aren’t crazy just because you want your ex-spouse to be unhappy. The problem is when it gets out of hand and begins a lawsuit.
In this Reddit story, the user’s sister is going through a tense divorce that has indeed exterminated the remaining love the couple had for each other. The judge has heard them fight for long, and everyone in that courtroom is already tired of them. So when the woman says that it is fine if his ex-husband gets half the things in the house, everyone is happy. She didn’t discuss or complain. She complied. The bigger problem did not happen in the story yet. That one is about to come any day now.
The wife decided to take that “in half” phrase literally. She cut his clothes, disassembled his appliances, and separated the CD’s of his DVD collection from their packaging. This, unfortunately, is not malicious compliance. This is being dumb. As I previously said, it is normal in this kind of situation for your emotions to get the best of you. But this does not excuse not following the law. This case is going to escalate from a normal divorce to bigger problems just cause this woman could not have it in her the fact that his ex-husband was going to get what he wanted. She made everything worse and damaged herself for just simple things that didn’t hold that much value in reality.
