History PlayingWith / PsychoExGirlfriend

* '''Conversed''': "Oh God Damn It! ''Another'' crazed ex girlfriend? Can't I just play ''one'' VisualNovel without encountering one of these [[{{Yandere}} kinds]] of characters?"

* '''Lampshaded''': "OhCrap, it's my ex-girlfriend, Alice! [[{{Understatement}} She didn't take the breakup very well!]]"

* '''Lampshaded''': "OhCrap, it's my ex girlfriend, Alice. [[{{Understatement}} She didn't take the breakup very well.]]"

** Bob has changed his phone number because he's moved.
** Alice found out she was pregnant after the breakup. [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion She doesn't want to abort]], so she lets Bob know and is trying to get child support from him.
** Alice really ''does'' have a diagnosed mental disorder, such as borderline personality disorder.

** He moved because he was trying to get away from Alice, who won't leave him alone. And she finds out his new phone number, and won't stop calling him.
** Bob denies that the baby is his, and makes a point not to answer calls from Alice. In order to make contact with him, Alice has to use her attorney.
*** Alternatively, it turns out Alice was [[FakePregnancy faking the pregnancy]] to get Bob back and hopefully [[TheBabyTrap trap him]] into a ShotgunWedding.
** Bob left her because he couldn't deal with her mental illness. (Also, Alice's behavior is more in line with the Hollywood version of BPD than anything realistic.)

** Alice initially takes the breakup well enough, until her friends or family convince her that Bob was a BastardBoyfriend and that she deserves revenge, or that she should intercede to "protect" his new girlfriend who obviously doesn't know what she's getting into.

* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': Alice is played as a run-of-the-mill Psycho Ex Girlfriend for most of the plot, and feminists everywhere grind their teeth. But hints begin to come to light that Bob was more than a BastardBoyfriend; he systematically psychologically abused her [[CreateYourOwnVillain into being utterly dependent on him]], and destroyed her relationships with everyone else she loved. Then when he got tired of her "clinginess", he cast her aside and made her think it was her own fault. She's now convinced that the only way she can be happy is to convince him to take her back.

** Bob left her because he couldn't deal with her mental illness. (Also, Alice's behavior is more in line with the [[HollywoodPersonalityDisorders Hollywood version]] of BPD than anything realistic.)
