It's called a "break up" because it's broken.

With the news of the end of "Brangelina", it's definitely something we can ALL identify with.

When relationships end, both the dumper and the dumpee go through some serious emotional ups and downs.

During those ups and downs, our brains do some WACKY things.  We get REAL creative, manipulative, and sometimes downright insane when coming up with ways to get them back into our lives.

And it always starts with a lie.

A woman in Florida decided to put her ex to the test, to test if he really, truly cared about her...How?

By reporting that she had been kidnapped in her parking lot, and that she needed help. (It was all made up. She played the "damsel in distress" card, he fell for it, but then when the truth was exposed, he said "thanks, but no" afterwards.)

We asked, what's the craziest thing you've ever done to get your ex back?  What's the craziest thing an ex has done to get YOU back?

Eric Jordan had the best -- his ex called and said his car was stolen, that he was in a BAD area of town, and needed Eric's help. Being the caring human he is, Eric of course wanted to help (which was the ex's plan all along).  So he drove to the location, to find the ex...standing right next to the allegedly-stolen car.

What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

At least, that's what my grandma always told me.  And she's always right. :)
