When someone who wronged you becomes successful

How do you feel?

Ideally we move on, heal and become indifferent

Of course before SM we often wouldn't know what becomes of the people who hurt us

I don't stalk but because I use SM inevitably someone who really hurt me and is linked through friends/groups has popped up

They have had success and it hurts

Since you asked, I took their insolvent business and made it worth Millions and when it came time for the bonuses promised and shared ownership instead I was fired. Many lawsuits for violating employment laws (which I won) and then they sold the business for millions to a third party. They took their millions and gave them to the NYC fraudster who promised insane returns and no risk and instead took all of their money, losing every cent in his Ponzi scheme. They then lost their house and family members who had come for the handouts (literally houses, cars, trips, etc); and they then lost everything due to their greed. So yes I feel it was Karma and I'm now contented, it took me decades to rebuild to achieve what had been promised but at least it is 100% mine.😀

Someone I was at school with wronged me very deeply, in a way that spoiled about two years of high school for me. It was, looking back, a horrible thing she did. And now she's head of a company division and pulling in a huge salary. But the two aren't connected. She worked hard. She's a terrible person, in my eyes, but I have to shrug and move on.

Another person, who I thought was a friend, wronged me in our business (separate companies but related area). To highlight what she'd done would have meant debasing myself, so I did my best with the situation and trusted that others could see what was going on. I'm happy to report that she completely fucked her own business by trying to get one over too many people (in the same way she tried to use my company iyswim). She definitely did it for herself. And now she's diminished, and won't return to her previous level. Everyone knows what sort of a person she is and about her lack of integrity. I can't deny it doesn't give me joy to think about it. I got the result I wanted, with no input from me - it all came from her own bad judgement and underestimation of others - so I'm free of the taint of scandal. I honestly enjoy it, and I'm not alone there. I sometimes wonder what I'd have done if she hadn't shat the bed herself, but actually it was all in train by the time she got round to causing me trouble.

The woman who had an affair with my ex husband is very successful in a field that is highly regarded publicly. She does lots of good work and I have occasionally seen her on television. It was a long time ago and I look on with a level of curiosity, but no negative emotion. I do wonder if she ever thinks about what she did. It had life long effects for me but she has lived an externally very successful life It seems.

Worse: when she's not done well and turns everything she hogs to shit.

No, but they “wronged me” and then years later, I thought I’d be nice as she kept making post after post and wasn’t getting anywhere so I shared it and wrote about it and then she had this overnight explosion. And I just think, she was an awful person and part of me wishes I hadn’t done it because I don’t think she deserves it. But part of small business is supported other small businesses so I did do it. And she never thanked me!

How utterly bizarre!!!

She probably didn’t even realise you shared her page, which is why she didn’t “thank you”

I’m perplexed WHY you’d be a cheerleader for a uni acquaintance who hasn’t spoken to you in years & the last time she DID, she publicly ridiculed you, called you a slut & accused you of stealing her man.

I've experienced this. Good things happen to bad people unfortunately. They're still dockheads though.
