Hooters is offering a BOGO-like deal this Valentine’s Day. Get 10 wings free (with a 10-wing purchase) when you shred a picture of your ex. Because, as Hooters puts it, “Your ex is worth a thousand curse words.”
You have two options. You can bring a picture into the restaurant or shred virtually. If you go the online route, you get several options: shred burn, bury or throw a dart.
Those all sound pretty satisfying to me.
Anyway, once you appropriately mar the virtual pic, you’ll be given a digital coupon for the deal. Then you can take a gal pal or guy friend out to commiserate on what my friend likes to call Singles’ Awareness Day.
What’s your best worst-breakup story? Let’s compare battle scars! (Mine was when I went away on a summer internship. The guy broke up with me three days before I got back. By email. And called me codependent.)

haha that’s a good one! I have several break up stories but worse break up is when I found out my Ex- Husband was cheating on me the affair started while I was pregnant with our second child and we had just gotten back from our wedding/slash honey moon. We were arguing about my job because he wanted me to get a better job and contribute more financially to the relationship. so I was like ok ill at least job search. when he left to work I went on the his laptop to job search but it was open to his email so I started looking. I noticed one folder there was a bunch of emails from 1 person only so I opened it. The most recent one was all in French but there was a picture of a naked girl. So I clicked back and went through every single email. Each one had a picture of this same girl till I got the very 1st email and I was the two of them kissing! I knew exactly when and where it was to!
So I waited until he got home from work and I put the kids to sleep to confront him. I was pissed! The next day I kept telling him that I needed space but he didn’t want me to leave. I called a girlfriend of mine to come pick me up and I grabbed his playstation, laptop, games everything of value I go find and took it to a pawnshop. It wasn’t able to get much I kept them. Then I took the car with the spare key and went to my mom’s place. I also broke the laptop. After that all hell broke loose and family got involved. Sad to say I still didn’t leave after that incident but that was the beginning of the end. He was a jerk and still is to this day.

Wow, that’s quite a tale of woe. I love that you took his playstation and games! I know it was really only for the value of them, but I’m just picturing a guy who lost (at least temporarily) his wife AND his gaming system.

My was a terrible story (he lied, cheated, gambled, took money from family & friends and couldn’t keep a job) but 23 years later……I only see it as a blessing.
We didn’t have yearly family vacations and everything we wanted but we always had a home with food, clean clothes and love. I was never the fun parent, I was the practical one but it really got the kids ready for life.
Happy Valentine’ Day <3

I got dumped at 9pm on NYE one year while on a vacation together that I paid for as my Christmas gift to him. And then we had to fly home together the next day. Awkward!
Abigail says
Wow, that guy just had poor planning skills. It’s a good thing you got rid of him (willingly or otherwise). Also, what a jerk!

Ouch I hope that wasn’t a long plane ride home!
