What's the worst thing you ever did to an ex, or vice versa?

I'm too shy and meek to do something like she did but I can't say I didn't enjoy watching her plan and execute her revenge. For her, revenge was ultimately very sweet.

Why would HER burning shoes that SHE bought ruin HIS career?

Um, the OP is the one who made the claim that it affected his job prospects.

PP who posted the story. If you read my other posts you'd see how. Namely that she had sneaker blogs cover the story and her livestream of the bonfire. Sneaker companies saw it as a result and turned around and canceled his interviews. Nike corporate even had a conference call with her and asked her to send them the full video. They then sent her a few pairs of free sneakers as did a few other sneaker brands. Social media is big in that world and she used it to her advantage.

But why? I still don't get it. They canceled the interview because she ... burned shoes? Or because he was a bad boyfriend? None of this makes sense.

I dont get this either.

I waited for the chickens to come home to roost, as I knew they would. He has a great capacity for messing up his own life and doesn't need my help.

The kids were initially furious with him, I tried to stay out of it, and now 1 1/2 years later they're still angry but for new, different reasons. My college-age son often prefixes discussions with, "well, you know how selfish dad is...."

I do open all the letters from companies offering to refinance his $61,000(!) in credit card debt, or so several of these letters have said. He's also borrowed from his parents and from his 401(k).

And I thank my stars I won't have to spend the next 30 years with someone who makes such awful decisions in so many aspects of life. Happy retirement, here I come in another 5 years!

PS, he was the one who left. To find himself. Or to date other women. Or something. But revenge hardly seems necessary.

Is this true ? sounds a little fictional

PP here. It's totally true. She had a few of the sneaker blogs cover the event, which I won't link to as his name is there as are links to both her and his social media pages, but here's a copy of one, where his last name has been edited out and all links have been removed: (please note the dollar amounts of what she bought him - to help up his "game" and get hired by the places he was looking for work - are inaccurate; she spent far more because he was a clueless chump) Copy was written by her.

O.O If that's what she bought him for Valentine's Day what in the hell did he get Christmas?!?

Seriously. It is extraordinarily sad that you would choose to live like this over getting a job and actually accomplishing something. Where's your pride?

Between you and the person who said I may as well kill myself, my mind is boggled at your ability to judge.

I never cheated on my husband. I never hurt his feelings or wished him harm. He was the one to cheat on me. Would you have preferred that I throw things and call names and go scorched earth? Would that have made you more proud of me? You don't know me.

Why should I split my family up because he has decided not to honor our marriage vows? Why should I "get a job" if I don't want to get a job? Why is having a job the only way to live a productive life? I have friends. I have my kids. I have my family. I even help take care of his family (because he would rather be going on vacations with his girlfriend than bother seeing them). My MIL is not well.

That you took from my post that I'm some worthless person sitting on the couch every day counting my dollars and cackling and steeping in my hatred is simply false.

My revenge is living well - the way I choose to live my life, supported by his income. It's the least I am owed for all the years I have spent with him, supporting his goals. My goal was always to raise my children to be good people (which they are, despite their father) and to look forward to grandchildren and being there for them, which my husband won't be. He barely even interacts with the kids he has, much less grandchildren.

I'm simply continuing with my own original goals and not letting his choices get in the way of mine.

I never did anything wrong and yet somehow you imply I am completely worthless in life because I'm not doing what you think I should do. Take a walk and live your own life. This is mine and you don't get to choose for me.

This is so sad. I pity you.

I don't see it as sad at all. She stays in her home. Her kids stay in the home. The kids' lives aren't turned upside down by divorce. She gets to continue taking care of her home and her children. If she and her DH were fighting in front of the kids or if there was abuse, it would be different. I think she is making the best decision for her family. I would do exactly the same.

Life is complicated and is not black-and-white, so I feel for her, but she is hardly setting a good example for her children.

I'm still stuck on the fact that "sneaker blogs" exist....

For all of you people who don't get it...you probably spend most of your days at Ann Taylor. Sneakers among young people are a billion dollar industry. Having a great pair is like driving a porsche but on your feet.

OP of this whole discussion here... lol some of these are so good. I like the magazine subscription idea.

The thing is, I know my ex is probably still driving around on a suspended license. I wish I could set him up to get pulled over. But that's impossible. I will most likely NEVER do anything but I fantasize. No I'm not a horrible, evil person and I do believe in karma but I'm still not over him and just want him to hurt like I do.

Well, then he has already won. Petty attempts at revenge won't change that.
