Rile Van Niekerk was baffled when he saw a gent’s car vandalised by an ex who felt betrayed in their relationship:

“Don’t cheat in Cape Town, guys.”

The ex-lover spray-painted the alleged cheater’s car but did not entirely win because the guy proudly drove his motor around with all the nasty messages on his vehicle.

Relationship expert explains ways to deal with breakup

Paula Quinsee explained that taking revenge on your ex-partner is a toxic trait that needs to be eliminated as it is not productive. The expert shared that plotting against your ex-lover only keeps you tied to them instead of healing:

“A more productive and effective approach is to focus on your own growth and healing by channelling your feelings into self-improvement, pursuing your passions or activities that bring you joy and strengthening your support system. This is what empowers you to get closure and move on with dignity by focusing on your own happiness and not relying solely on someone else to make you happy.”
