Breakups can be devastating, but eventually, most of us make it through the darkness to the other side. It's often a process of letting go until the pain subsides, our hearts heal, and the past becomes a distant memory. But what happens when one party tries to keep the fire burning long after cold water was poured on the relationship?
That's exactly what happened to one person who revealed that their ex had the audacity to wear the shirt she got him for Christmas to his engagement party. The post prompted more than 24,000 comments to come hurtling in, as netizens shared their own tales about ex-partners acting more than a little unhinged.
Bored Panda has put together the wildest ones. There's the guy who got married on his ex's birthday, the poor soul who had to make her ex's wedding cake, and a surprising number of hangers-on who named their kids after an ex. Buckle up for a wild reminder that it ain't over 'til it's truly over.

He told me God never gave him a son before in the delivery room, so I named my son after him- 4 months later I found his first son- same name, then he had another son…. Yup same name- all 3 boys have the same name as him.

He came crying to my doorstop 1 month before his wedding 13 years ago, telling me that he will forever love me and will be thinking of me during his vows… and I haven’t been able to get over it or trust anyone after that.
