Best revenge you ever got on someone?

I'm sure you're lying about that. Nobody would not invite a kid to a party because of a parents affair.

Try again. Keep trying to convince yourself that your bitterness is actually hurting someone other than yourself.

Ex cheated on me, and I posted the other woman's phone number on Craigslist - "for a good time call XXX-XXX-XXXX" - but with a bit more information. No photos.

I was younger and in my 20s, and would not do that today - at this point I really do believe it's better to "live your best life" - get in shape, learn how to be truly happy, and and dust it off because you have better, more exciting things to do with your life than worry about the scumbags."

1. I aired all our dirty laundry to one of the executive admins at his job knowing she would spread anything I told her.

Revenge served warm:

2. Told him I wanted to work things out and got him into marriage counseling and just when he thought things were settled down I served him papers while he was at lunch with clients. Awkward!

Revenge served cold:

3. Years after the divorce I found out he was getting remarried so I sued for a custodial modification by serving him on the morning of the wedding and also asking for more child support.
4. I also saved up all the medical bills for months and had a few thousand dollars of reimbursement receipts delivered to him the day they returned from their honeymoon.
5. A month into the case I dropped my attorney and started calling his attorney every day to discuss various things because I knew his lawyer was charging $500 per hour. I did that for several months until just before the hearing and I dropped the case. It cost him around 20 grand. I know this caused a lot of problems for him during their first year of marriage. It also made the kids upset with him because he didn't have money for their Christmas and birthdays.
6. Occasionally I'll agree to extended summer vacations for the kids and then play "hard to get" concerning the pickup and drop off dates. This really pisses him off when he needs to buy airline tickets because he can't really make reservations for anything until that gets worked out. He likes to make reservations in advance.

I'm an ex husband whose wife did these kinds of things to me.

I've saved every email/text and recorded every nasty event.

One day when our kids are older they will know the truth. I'm saving it all.

you don't know what you are talking about. I have a great relationship with my kids. They prefer me over their father. They wouldn't do that if he was a good guy. He deserves what he gets and don't try to shame me for sticking up for myself.

Your kids are putting up a front as they are afraid to cross you.

Okay, so it was at least 4. Not lying about it. Yes, when the neighborhood is so interconnected and everyone knows everyone, yes, people don't invite others to parties for this reason. It is about screwing being nice to the mom who was sleeping with a friend's husband. My friends see them out together with our kids and they get disgusted.

Please explain how the things you listed, especially the "revenge served cold" section, constitute sticking up for yourself.

obsessing about your ex is the opposite of "sticking up to yourself". you are letting your ex control your life. you need to move on.

I'm not big on revenge. But with one ex boyfriend, after we broke up I cut off all communication with him. If he called me I wouldn't answer his call or return it. If he came to my door, I wouldn't open it. If he called me at work, I wouldn't accept his call, if he showed up at my job I refused to meet him at the security desk (I was lucky to have really great and supportive coworkers). He wasn't really psycho crazy dangerous. Just very, very persistent, wouldn't take no for an answer...and thought he could sway me if he could only talk to me like he had managed to do before. Basically, I was done. Done with his BS. It was over.

Like I said, it wasn't revenge or punishment on my part but it drove him nuts to be treated like nothing, I'm sure.

Are you talking about ... kids’ birthday parties? As in, some poor kids whose lives have already been upended through no fault of their own didn’t get invited to their friends’ Birthday parties? And this is supposed to be a punishment for the adults who don’t like these things anyway? I hope I’m misunderstanding!

The friends of the kids are absolutely invited to their birthday parties. But sometimes you invite non-friends so the parents don't feel like their kid was left out. These kids aren't friends with his AP's DD. A few people didn't care if she and my STBX felt left out. Her kid has plenty of other parties to go to. But it is noticible she isn't getting the pity invites.

it is sad that you are thinking so much about this and imaging your enemies experiencing a lot of hurt about something so minor. this is not revenge it's the opposite of revenge.

Oh good grief. "Pity invites" for a kid's bday party? Your take on things....wow.

I know you don't want to hear it, but:

Being happy.

The key is that you can't fake it. And if you were really happy in your life and with yourself, you wouldn't be worried about "revenge" which is some sort of middle school teen girl bullshit.
