Revenge is best served cold

Yes! I got my revenge. MIL ignored something which was very important for me and Dh. I didn’t show my annoyance then but hoped to somehow pay back. The situation came two months later and I didn’t need to do anything. I am the only person who could have prevented it happening but I did nothing. She must feel same as I did.

Unless you’re going to tell us what she did and what you did there is no point to your thread.

The desire for revenge, like the feeling of jealousy, are best left before they fester inside you taking the space of happiness.
Anyone who sits within the drenching cloud of these emotions doesn't feel the satisfaction of those who side step and continue their lives.
All the negative planning and waiting is precious living hours wasted on the very person or people you dislike!

This is one of those times where you either need to share the details or keep your thoughts to yourself

Poopeepoopee · 05/08/2025 14:49

Yawn

You gonna tell us or not?

I'll be back in 20 minutes and if you haven't said i'm gonna hide this boring thread.

Vague, attention seeking, pointless.

SIL is in Mumsnet.

Then don’t bother posting about it.

DaisyChain505 · 05/08/2025 15:01

You’re going to need to elaborate so people can have a proper opinion.

XelaM · 05/08/2025 15:01

Did MIL forget your birthday and now you let her starve to death?

How are we supposed to guess what either of you did? 🤷♀️

yesrevenge · 05/08/2025 15:09

MIL doesn’t know I am part of what happened. She probably suspects and I want to leave it like that.

What was the point posting?

How bad can ignoring something important to you be? Did she not congratulate you on your prize marrow at the local vegetable show? Did she not fawn over your new hand towels? Did she not fuss over your dog?

Most pointless thread I have read on here in some time.

Why the fuck are you posting then? Why are the rest of us reading such a stupid pointless thread? MN seems to bring all the idiots out on here.

Soubriquet · 05/08/2025 15:26

God this is pointless

My best revenge came via my dog. My old dog was never fully potty trained. If he wanted to pee, he did it.

Well, one day my FIL caught him weeing on the floor, so he put him outside and threw a cup of water on him.

When the dog was allowed back indoors (I was out at the time), he immediately went over to my FIL’s VERY EXPENSIVE sheep skin coat, and pissed all over it Grin

What pointless thread and nasty person.

TempyBrennan · 05/08/2025 15:30

It’s the drama Mick, I love it.

elaborate or go away OP.

BlankBlankBlank14 · 05/08/2025 15:30

what a lot of nonsense

Best revenge is to have a good life and let it go, unless (like aluminum man) she is constantly out to foil your plans.

Well if you can’t elaborate, congratulations on the most pointless thread ever made.
