To ask if you've ever seen someone get what they deserve?

[Fishface77]

I was at a wedding in Saturday and there was an ex-couple there.
The ex-H d was emotionally, verbally and financially abusive to his ex-w (witnessed).
She finally left him, gained a stone, had hair and make up done, looked fab and has a hot new man.
Ex-h eyes nearly fell out of his head. He tried to chat to her and she laughed, asked if she knew him and strolled of.
The look on his face was priceless and he just slunk away.
Have you ever seen anyone get what they deserve?

Your stories do not make you sound better people
Couldn't give a toss to be honest!
What some of us have been through is horrendous.
And that we can now be a little bit smug about how life has turned out now for them is something that I'm not ashamed of.
Unless of course death is involved.
That's just awful.
But a bit of humble pie and bit of their own medicine.... GOOD!!!!

"Which one do you think I'll enjoy more?"
"No! Which one do you wanna watch first?!"

exh left me when I was pregnant and had two dc, found out that he was having an affair he lied and told solicitors courts he wasnt

about 6 months after he left I needed to sign into a spare email account that we both used for spammy type stuff, he used it more than me, and had obviously forgotten I had the password. I found emails that showed him and ow were on a swinging site used log in details and found lots of incriminating stuff and naked pics of them both, along with emails showing how long the affair had been going on. Very upsetting at the time but I got them all printed out and had a great deal of pleasure handing them over to my solicitor at the next appointment. watching him squirm in court was a joy

he remains a knobhead and a shit father to our dc

Some of the posts on this thread have made me uncomfortable... I think the minor comeuppances are funny but feeling pleased that people have found themselves in terrible situations is just awful (although I'm not one to hold a grudge).

A girl that consistently bullied me through school died in a car crash a few years ago aged 24. Despite her being awful to me I still found it incredibly sad. People change, grow up, maybe regret their actions - I don't think labouring all this hard feeling is healthy.

Crusty Jugglers!

When I was at school I had a huge crush on a friend. He was tall, dark and handsome, and very intelligent (president of the chess club). One night outside of a nightclub and after a few drinks, he tried to pursuade me to sleep with him. He practically begged, saying he has a condom, we would still be friends afterwards etc. I said no and left. A month later he was forced to get married to a massively obese girl because he'd gotten her pregnant. FF 26 years, and he's now also massively obese, stuck in an unhappy marriage with a severely depressed wife and a crappy job,unhappy with his lot in life.

I dont understand how this is Karma,just seems to me you are gloating

The fat shaming on here with 'and then he married a fat woman!' is really fucking vile.
Dustarr - I agree. All he really did 'wrong' was make a pass at her and now she's delighted he was 'forced' to marry a fat woman, as if there was no worse punishment.

Oh for goodness sakes!!! It has very little to do with the fact he married a fat woman (I'm not exactly petite myself, though I was in those days). The POINT is that he slept around and got her pregnant, and that could've been me if I'd said yes. And I'm not gloating - there is obviously more to the story - him physically restraining me when I tried to leave etc etc, and destroying the 'good guy' image everyone had of him.

The people on here enjoying other peoples misfortune dont sound so good.At least some of the people where kids when they where bullying.

Plus i was bullied,never wish them misfortune.

You've clearly never been overweight so with respect, you don't understand how difficult it is to make those changes when getting out of bed in the morning is a bloody achievement.

dustarr73 congratulations on being such a well balanced individual.

It's fine, us fatties don't want your sympathy, thanks. hmm

I've lost about 50% of the excess weight now, I have another 2 stone to go. If it was as easy as a simple diet change, no one would be fat. Obesity is a symptom of so many other problems, usually mental health issues. Do you not have sympathy for the depressed, anxious and addicted either?

Just because we wear the scars of our illnesses on the outside of our bodies doesn't give you or anyone else the right to judge how we got there in the first place. It's none of your business, but as an FYI I was obese because I was horrendously depressed and in denial. I got treatment for that, I lost weight as a result.

Take off your judgey pants and get a grip.

Pluto, I completely agree. I am fat for many reasons - an abusive ex who didn't allow me to leave the house or have friends for 5 years, a twin pregnancy and an underactive thyroid. I DO NOT eat too much - in fact I eat much less than my 8-year old daughter. I happily go four days without eating, as I don't get hungry and never have.

People who say 'eat less, it's simple' have absolutely no bloody idea!

itsmine sorry to hear about your tough situation and I'm glad your stress/ depression hasn't led to obesity.

Mine did. My sister who went through the same upbringing as me turned to drugs and alcohol, I'm glad I went to food to be honest.

to answer the op - yes. All the hair-flicking, gawjus girls who bullied me at school, on the day the O level results came out. Because they had hair-flicked and slapped up rather than working at their education, and so failed almost all of their exams.

And I know they weren't stupid, they were all just idle.

revenge does indeed taste good cold. Even 3 decades later.

MomOfTwins2 ha I wish I didn't get hungry!

My problem is I was over fed as a child, gained weight and ballooned as a teen. Food was a reward in our house "if you do x, you can have this yummy y". Love was conditional and food was the only demonstration of love that we got, so as an adult I have a completely emotional response to food.

Re-teaching yourself how to eat is like re-teaching yourself how to walk, you have to be completely in the right mind frame and prepared to work at it. There's been times where I've dug my fingers so hard into the wooden frame of my sofa that I've made my nails bruise because I'm craving certain foods so badly. I've cried over hoola hoops and sworn at a takeaway driver . I've stuffed my face with pringles in my bathroom so my other half doesnt find out and I've banned my colleagues from offering me food more than once. Yet people STILL don't recognise that mental illness and addiction is at the root of our obesity crisis.

You can't deal with all that when you're already depressed and struggling. Once you've got over the first few months though it gets easier and easier. The challenge then is keeping the weight off of course!

There's so much underlying obesity. Someone once told me that fat people need that layer because they have to protect themselves. If you look at it like that then there is no doubt about whether they deserve sympathy. And the chances are that the more people spout "healthy diet" the more those that need the extra layer will need another layer.....

love that movie. Have u seen Shaun of the Dead?

Yes Memoires, it is a blanket. My fat is my security blanket - as long as I remain fat I don't have to worry about anyone getting close to me and hurting me again. I get left alone and I'm happy with that. Of course I'd like to meet someone and live happily ever after and all that crap, but if one has been treated the way my ex treated me, the thought of allowing anybody else in is terrifying. So, although I can easily lose the weight if I actually started eating, I'm happy as I am for now.

Ah plutoinnotaplanet thanks.

With respect, it's a symptom of an illness, as I mentioned usually a mental illness like depression, anxiety or addiction. No one chooses to be fat, that's not a thing.

Having an incurable illness doesn't give you a free pass to be intolerant or judgemental to others, I think your comments have been dismissive and unkind if I'm honest.

Luckily I've developed a thick skin, but I hope anyone reading this who's currently struggling with their weight doesn't take you seriously, your attitude could really do some damage.

Intolerance to any group of people based on your own pre-conceived and largely inaccurate view point is called prejudice. Fat people didnt make you sick and we struggle like everyone else, we're not bad people we're just fat.

My BMI is just in the healthy range now, I still class myself as a fat person though because I, like all fat people will have the behavior that made me fat in me forever. I fight that every single day. Obesity is also incurable, albeit manageable with the right help.

Im fat but the thing with other addictions,you can give them up,You cant give food up.You need food.Its just some people use it as a crutch,for emotional well being.

Plus we didnt cause your illness,and if you want to believe in karma.You got cancer cause you where mean to a girl when you where 6.Well according to this thread thats what happened.
