Charliefarlie1192 · 05/09/2012 14:52

I have a friend who has hardly any friends at all as it is. I have been very good to her in many ways, even though that is very one sided. I have been seeing someone I work with for the last month although the build upto this was a very long time. I really liked the guy and this friend knew how I was feeling. So anyway things were fizzling out between me and him and I was upset And genuinely confused as to why he was backing off. I had gotten my friend a job working with us recently also , and it now turns out they are seeing each other. Ainu to be really hurt, humiliated, confused and really want to extract some revenge?

She is not a friend

Frontpaw · 05/09/2012 14:54

They sound like a lovely pair - great for each other.

Don't rise to the bait, let them get on with it - the two timer and the back-stabber. I'd say they deserve each other.

cheekybarsteward · 05/09/2012 14:55

No revenge required, he is not a nice person

jkklpu · 05/09/2012 14:55

Sorry about your situation, OP. Still, revenge not worth it and he was the one possibly two-timing, not your (ex-?)friend. Try to move on by ignoring them and turning to other friendships.

DesperatelySeekingSedatives · 05/09/2012 14:55

Well she's no friend that's for sure. But then he can't have been anything great either seeing as he went cold on you without telling you why.

YWBU to exact revenge on your ex friend though. The best revenge you can get on anyone is being happy. I honestly believe that.

Just out of interest though, what revenge did you have in mind?

sugarice · 05/09/2012 14:56

She's no friend and you're well shot of him. Leave them to it.

ajandjjmum · 05/09/2012 14:57

Withdraw your friendship and ignore. Maybe she'll learn quickly why she's got no friends.

Sorry things haven't worked out - hope there's better around the corner. Smile

gracefulannie · 05/09/2012 14:58

YANBU. But revenge? I wouldn't go out my way. You say she has hardly any friends - you may have just found out why. I wouldn't do her any more favours and would back off. She sounds selfish. You don't need people like that in your life.

squoosh · 05/09/2012 15:01

People can be cunts sometime. Tells you a lot about why she friendless doesn't it? Cut them out of your lives.

The best revenge is to look sexy as hell and act as thought you don't care about either of them.

TroublesomeEx · 05/09/2012 15:03

You exact revenge.

You don't extract it.

Sorry. Blush

But no I wouldn't bother exacting revenge, I'd just leave them to it. They both sound pretty low and it probably explains why she doesn't have many friends.

TroublesomeEx · 05/09/2012 15:04

But I'd also be curious to know what you had in mind...

I love the idea of sewing fish into the hems of curtains though.

Is there ever a time when it will be acceptable for me to exact this revenge?

SparklyVampire · 05/09/2012 15:08

Tits out, chin up and tell people what a shame it is she has incurable herpe's and isn't it fantastic how understanding about it he is Grin

AnyFucker · 05/09/2012 15:11

The best revenge ?

Living well

Ignore them and find a lovely hot new man to shag

IWishIWasSheRa · 05/09/2012 15:13

Your revenge will be to smile inside when they fizzle out shortly!

Megatron · 05/09/2012 15:17

Well they sound like a lovely pair and deserve each other.

The best revenge is to be happy without either of them.

JustinBoobie · 05/09/2012 15:20

AF says it perfectly...

Treat yourself to something you really want and forget them - live well and love yourself.

They can fuck the fuck off. Grin

NotAnAxeMurderer · 05/09/2012 15:22

The best revenge is showing them how happy you are in your brilliant new life and how little what they've done has affected you.

MrsTerrysChocolateOrange · 05/09/2012 15:28

As usual AF says what I was going to say first Envy

AnyFucker · 05/09/2012 15:29

< dons tinfoil hat urgently >

alienreflux · 05/09/2012 15:32

you've already got your revenge, she's with a total twat and he's with an disloyal, unscrupulous beatch. no further action necessary

MrsTerrysChocolateOrange · 05/09/2012 15:32

Mwahahahaha.

Charliefarlie1192 · 05/09/2012 16:14

Thanks for the replies! I'm lucky to have plenty of other friends who know the meaning of loyalty.
To be fair everybody in work is pretty disgusted with their behaviour, I know revenge is pretty silly but her smug face false tits and false laugh are grating on me to the point where I cant concentrate!

I liked the idea of 'extracting' revenge. It sounds much more menacing than exacting.
