Revenge is best served cold

[yesrevenge]

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.

Was going to post this but you beat me to it!

Yes, out of a fine list of contenders.

This happens continously on MN. Is it something to do with people's particular mobiles or the website as it seems more often than not that posters haven't read the thread or maybe they're not actually seeing the thread? It's very frustrating.

Yet another utterly pointless boring thread on MN tonight.

You said she ignored something that was important to you and your DH. I've no idea what that might be, but I'm struggling to believe it's unforgivable. Does your husband think what she did was unforgivable?

As for the rest of it, you are making absolutely no sense and none of us have a clue what you are on about.

Just that I think. How sad.

And we've got another month of this before they go back to school.

Prize marrow just made me laugh and startle my dog 😂

I found out last weekend, after 40 years, that my school bully had eventually picked on the wrong person and been punched and knocked out!

You claim she ignored something important for you and your husband.

Have you not realised that things that are important to you are of little significance for others?

Or if its deeply personal such as the date of the loss of a baby or child, that they are also upset and are worried about upsetting you so say nothing?

To then exact revenge and revel in it shows that you are immature and rather nasty.

Perhaps the thing she ignored is down to you having previous form doe being nasty?

Does she even know she missed something? Or has your conscience given you a nip? Revenge is an empty practice, solves nothing. Creates nothing and limits everything.

You must have a nasty streak to be so gleeful at someone’s misfortune OP, don’t forget ‘what goes around comes around’.
What a nasty DIL you are.

When you post like this on Facebook it's called "vaguebooking." What are we going to call it for MN?

That would just be weird and awkward for me.

Oh come on now, it wasn’t that bad!

I'd take no pleasure in that...

It’s no wonder people don’t update their threads. This place is full of nasty boring bitches.

That sums my married life.

It is even worse that petty. OP wants MIL to know but with plausible deniability. The only reason she would post it here, knowing SIL was on MN, was in the hope that SIL would see and might tell MIL that OP did whatever she did for revenge. She did not do it for general MNers who can make nothing of it.

Now I feel dirty and am going for a shower. Yuck.

What a pointless thread 🙄

😂 probably about the size of it

I’m guessing that your MIL ignored, or forgot, your Wedding Anniversary …. which is totally unforgivable. Her terminal dementia is no excuse. Two months later it was her 100th - and probably last - birthday, and you deliberately didn’t send her a card.

That’s interesting dear.

Yep, I was thinking of MIL not liking OP's wedding anniversary post on Facebook, so OP "forgot" to post MIL's birthday card.

But OP does say that MIL doesn't know OP was part of what happened, but probably suspects. So now I'm thinking along of the lines of MIL's pets being allowed to escape, or OP noticing that MIL left the gas on before going on holiday, but doing nothing, so MIL came back to a smoking ruin.

What kind of response did you want from this?

Would “can’t trust nobody no more. Sent u a DM hun” be the sort of thing you were looking for?
