Apr 2018

My ex and I had just bought a house in Delaware, a working class neighborhood.
We hadn't been in the house 3 days when a well dressed black couple knocked at the door. I answered it and noticed they had a page printed with a picture and description of our house. They asked politely if the house was still for sale.
I told them we had just bought the house, they thanked me and left.
My crazy (and I don't use that term lightly) ex
FREAKED THE FUCK OUT. Said they were trying to rob us. She called the cops. When they arrived I told them the story and just left.
No police report.
I sure am glad we didn't have a gun. She probably would have shot them.
I'm so glad to be away from her.
