Your Favourite 'Revenge on Your Ex' Stories

[MrMeh]

Mine is pretty juicy. She cheated on me after a couple of months so I broke up with her and went NC. I continued to work on myself and be happy. Yup, that's about it.

I had an ex boyfriend that was cheating on me with several girls he met on dating sites/apps. He's actually catched himself cheating because he was adding these girls as facebook friends. At first I didnt suspect anything,just thought they were coworkers or acquaitances , but little by little I got more and more suspicious because I ve met his "real"friends many times and never saw any of these girls. So I decided to contact one of them that he recently added on facebook,just asking how they knew each other.

She told me they met online recently and asked if I was his ex.."errr no I'm not the ex,I'm his gf". She was surprised and said that he told her he was single and wanted to be in a relationship with her.

I texted my boyfriend to dump him with the evidences he cheated,and that it was clear that the other girls he was adding recently (there was a dozen or so..)he either cheated with them as well,or trying to,an that he better tell me what happened because I was going to contact them. So he admitted that he met all these girls online,and quickly said that "it was a mistake",that he sincerely regretted blablabla, begged me to take him back...and speaking about the girl I contacted, he said that "she was fat, with a saggy butt,was an arrogant twat"and that Im much prettier than her. I texted him "but she said you told her you wanted to have a relationship with her?"and he replied "I would never want a relationship with her, given the opportunity I slept with her but that's all!"

I took screenshots of our conversation, I contacted the first girl again and asked "Did Matt admitted he was lying to you?", she said that he never admitted anything,he never replied when she told him that I contacted her.

I sent her the screenshots of the messages so that she knew what he said about her .I also sent the screenshots to the other girls,the part where he admitted cheating with all these girls and gave their name

 

Haha re thinking about this, I really dont regret exposing this POS

I'm considering ratting out the married woman I was involved with years ago.

I have had fantasies of revenge, but I leave it there. Revenge hurts the one who exacts it. That said, I have never helped an ex, and have been opportunistic in letting them suffer the consequences of their actions.

 

I think that's the best approach. I've only once actively sought revenge against anybody. That was against a boss who fired me unfairly. I didn't rest until he was ousted. That actually proved to be quite easy. The other partners wanted rid of him, and I think I proved to be a bit of a willing pawn there. Not something I would go through again. It's better not to take things personally in business - otherwise you end up looking weak and foolish to anybody worthwhile who happens to be watching. Even if you "win".

 

As for the personal...if somebody I care about hurts me on a personal level, I just want away from them. The thought of getting revenge on somebody I've loved or even just liked just hurts me more. But once a lot of time has passed and the person who hurt me is just another random person except with a bad memory attached..well, if the opportunity to impose some sort of justice on them presented itself on a plate, then it would be ungrateful not to take it.

 

Plotting and scheming is something else though. Unless it's carried out by fictional characters for entertainment purposes. The series actually called Revenge was fab for the first couple of seasons...and was there ever another soap opera to touch Dallas? I don't think so. It was absolutely superb. Mainly because its main revenge seeker had a great sense of bitchy humour to go with his sociopathic streak.

 

 

and he was often the outraged recipient of other people's vengeful urges too. It was great.

 

The petty acts of revenge ordinary people take against eachother in real life are usually less entertaining...unless you have a personal stake as an observer. I mean, nobody in their right mind wants to be the crazy ex who spikes the condiments in their ex's fridge with laxatives - but everybody in their right mind would be partial to the notion of a horrible ex going on to form a relationship with, and then break up with, that sort of crazy revenge seeker.

 

I think that's the charm of well acted soap operas. It's pretty dysfunctional to want to be a player in the drama, but there's nothing wrong with getting a bit of vicarious pleasure from imagining people who've hurt you in real life being caught in the sort of poison filled webs these characters spin for eachother.
