An Atlanta mom going through a divorce just shared the wildest parting gift we’ve ever seen: a 15-plus item list her ex-husband wrote of everything he“sacrificed”during their marriage. Top of the list? Giving up“every woman I could’ve had sex with since you and I got together.”Fidelity, listed as a favor. Also on the roster: working a 9-to-5, saving money, and giving up“acting like a jerk.”Riley Madison posted the checklist on TikTok, and it’s now been viewed 15.5 million times.

The comment section has not been kind, calling the ex everything from a narcissist to a deviant to a clown, and honestly, the receipts back it up. The“acting like a jerk”entry is doing a lot of self-reporting. Licensed clinical psychologist Susan Spicer told the outlet that the vast majority of her patients are dealing with narcissistic abuse and trauma, and this kind of scorekeeping, where basic respect gets reframed as generosity, is a classic pattern.

Here’s the ending everyone needed: Madison revealed she read the entire list while lying in bed with her new husband. Somewhere out there, a man is still waiting for a thank-you note for not cheating. What’s the most outrageous thing an ex ever claimed they gave up for you? Drop it in the comments, we’re collecting evidence.
