Line 16:

Darker, less humorous versions of this trope tend to have the woman taking fire (see [[Break Up Bonfire]]) or razors to the cheater's belongings. This is common in those glossy, colourful compilations of [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]] they sell at supermarket checkouts. This variant does get used with men as well as women, when a divorcing husband trashes his own stuff rather than let his wife's lawyers take it away from him.

Note that in Real Life being upset with your significant other does not give you the right to damage their property; Carrie Underwood lyrics to the contrary notwithstanding.<ref>Point of fact, this, as well as a number of other tropes that often appear in romantic comedies, is in fact a crime for which you can be prosecuted. So, technically, you can go ahead and break their shit, as long as it's worth it to you.</ref>
