Lonestar Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I heard this for years and see people saying it left and right all over this site, but seriously, how exactly is that revenge? If your ex could give a flying f*ck about you, then what would they care if you are happy or not. This advice seems like it's really about making the person who was dumped feel better by fooling the dumpee into believing that by becoming happy they'll spring revenge on their ex, thus forcing them to find happiness by reverse psychology. I have many Xs in my past who I knew I had no future with, and I could care less if they're happy or not these days. In fact there are a few who I wish nothing but happiness for. Is there anyone on this site who dumped an ex b/c they didn't care about them anymore, and now you're pissed because he/she's happy??? Link to post Share on other sites
morphius Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 They probably wouldn't give a s*it whether we're happy or not, but christ we can still rub it in their faces can't we? Link to post Share on other sites
Naive Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I think this saying goes well only when it's intended to someone that has been hurt purposely because when someone is trying to hurt you and they see that you are still happy they turn out to be the ones that suffer more.

prayformydownfall Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 i still occasionally see my ex round my uni, and she makes a point wen with her new bf to walk in front on me 3 or 4 times but never have i gave her a reaction or made her feel good bout it, truth is i dont care about if shes happy or not anymore... its just not healthy to live ur life to hurt someone else.... moving on is the best way.... why shold you care bout someone who clearly should b living in your past? try and live your life by these words - its called 'time to grow' by lemar """"Last night I tried but I couldn´t sleep Thoughts of you were in my head I was lonely and I needed you next to me Life is harder since you left I never meant to do you wrong And now all is said and done I hope you won´t be gone too long/ No [Chorus] Where do I go What do I do I can´t deny I still feel something And girl, I wish you could say you feel the same You´ve broken the bond I gotta move on But how do I end this lonely feeling? You´ve gone, I´m here, alone I guess it´s time to grow I try to speak, but my words never catch the air Like you never knew I was there Take me back to the days when you really cared Can we make love re-appear? I can´t go on the roads too long And now all is said and done I can´t go forward if my heart´s still where i´m coming from [Chorus] Crying time is over I know I can´t control her feelings If she won´t return, then I guess I´ll be a man and move on Time to grow / And move on Make life better than it was before Time to grow and move on Make love better than I did before [repeat] Though you´ve gone / And I´m here, alone I guess it´s time to grow""""" Link to post Share on other sites
greenhorn Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I think that this kind of revenge works best when you have been ruthlessly dumped and cheated as well and you ex is still trying to rub it in. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 The best revenge is to be happy, live well and move on. Link to post Share on other sites
