Would you ever be angry enough to cut off your ex's penis?

Or is it a mental illness, a criminally insane act?

Personally, I don’t engage in rage-a-thons with other people. I cut ties and walk. Not enough time or energy to waste on useless people or pursuits. I’m not one to be involved in a lengthy divorce or break-up. I keep my own residence, bank account, pay all my own bills and stand on my own two feet. If things aren’t working and we can’t work it out, I’m leaving way before the crazy starts.

How do people let a relationship and then themselves disintegrate so badly that they get involved in these situations? And that’s not blame the victim talk. Surely there was a hint of the crazy before the moment this happened.

I don’t understand doing harm to persons or property because one is angry. Instead I turn it inward and become ill and need a shrink - as I type this I guess I am doing harm to a person i.e. myself. However I do not target myself, at least consciously.

Good lord.

No, never…and I have been plenty harmed and pissed off a time or two over relationship shit! I also tend to disengage and back slowly away if the shit hits the fan…then spend time mulling over my part in the bad behaviour.

I agree there had to be some inherent crazy, to do something like this. This wasn’t even in the “heat of the moment” which I could more easily understand, but calculated and cruel.

No, something like this is mental illness. Property damage is either mental illness or poor impulse control and immaturity.

People who cheer on that bitch in that wretched Carrie Underwood song make me think of stupid hillbillies and inner-city thugery.

Agreed. What happened to this guy is abhorrent. I’m guessing that when people do things like this at any time, it’s because of something wrong with their brain, call it a mental illness or what-have-you but normal people do not do things like that.

I think I’m going to go throw up now.

All of exes were, conveniently, sans-penis when I met them.

If one of my exes turned out to have a penis, I’d be pretty angry.

All of my exes have had functioning penises. And I am all for them staying that way.

Mayhem, ALWAYS a bad idea!

It struck me as odd that she didn’t look the least bit disheveled in her mug shot. Completely calm with hair and make-up done.

HELL no! Certainly not the “good” one. And not even any of the “bad” ones. Just seems so… I dunno, too much work and not enough return on your investment?

Besides it’s kind of obvious. I like to be much sneakier with my revenge schemes. :smiley:

Yeah…unless it turned out that he was molesting my kid, I can’t imagine that the idea of cutting someone’s cock off would ever occur to me.

I’m with elfkin477. The only circumstances I could see this being an option is if I had incontrovertible proof that he was a child molester and rapist, and only then if, for some reason, I also knew there was no way he would face justice in the legal system.

In that case, drug him and cut off both the penis and the testicles (so he doesn’t produce anymore testosterone, which should lower his sex drive, so he doesn’t continue to rape/molest just with foreign objects instead of his penis), and drop him off on a sidewalk near an ER.

But seriously, if he were that evil and there really were no way for the legal system to handle him, it’s probably much simpler to create an “accident” or say he threatened you with a weapon, so you just had to shoot him. (“He fell on my knife. He fell on my knife ten times.”)

Odd how icky the topic makes me feel, but then I’m a fan of men and their parts. I don’t believe either should be mistreated.

Nope, never been angry enough to do anything like that.

I think the same thing. If the gender roles were reversed Carrie’d be vilified because of her promoting domestic abuse :rolleyes:

[cattybitch]To tell the truth, that mug shot makes me wonder if she was once a card carrying penis owner. That is one rough looking woman[/cattybitch]

ETA: Gahhh, that site has a link to the Faces of Meth thingie. It breaks my heart to look at those but I just can’t turn away.

sleeps, you’re such a catty beeyoitch. But I know you’re just resentful you didn’t have the chance to attend University of Michigan. At least you don’t have to live in Ohio anymore, what a dreadfully boring place that is.

Catty Beeyoitch is how I roll, y0

That’s all you have to say? Am just really disappointed, expect more from an Ohio girl than that.

After having lived with the person for 10 years and born two of my children I think I would have been more surprised than miffed if it suddenly turned out she has had a penis for all those years.

Not being a fan, I have no idea what you’re talking about. She has a song about cutting off penises?
