People react to heartbreak in different ways – some cry, some lash out, and others plan their revenge in painstaking detail, sometimes in rather unique ways.

The latter is what Andrea Owen did 15 years ago in 2006, when she discovered her husband had been having an affair with their neighbour for seven months – and had even got her pregnant.

In a viral TikTok explaining how she got her own back, Andrea said she cut holes in every pair of underwear, shorts, and trousers her husband owned to make a point about his struggle to “keep it in his pants”.

She wrote over the video: “In 2006, I found out my husband had been having a seven-month long affair with our neighbour and got her pregnant.

“So I took a pair of scissors and cut a hole in every pair of underwear, shorts and pants he owned.”

Before ditching her husband for good, Andrea left a note that told him exactly why she wasn’t going to be sticking around.

She added: “And I left a note that said: ‘Since you can’t seem to keep your d*** in your pants, I thought I’d help you out.’

“And I laughed and laughed and laughed.”

Andrea’s TikTok racked up more than 391,000 likes, and commenters have been praising the woman for her efforts.

One wrote: “I’m here for this kind of petty!”

While another said: “Girl, you’re a queen.”

Other TikTok users have even taken to the comments to share their own experiences with taking revenge on unfaithful partners, including one person who said they pinched the TV remote.

They claimed: “I scrubbed the toilet with his toothbrush and put it back where he left it.

“Also took the remote with me so he would be looking for it forever.”

And one other person said: “My husband was with a woman named Millie… I filled all the cabinets with Aunt Millie’s spaghetti sauce.”
