Revenge fantasy plea

AIBU to ask you to help me plot some fantasy revenge?

I am divorcing my abusive STBXH thanks to you lovely lot helping me to recognise it as abuse after I posted a couple of AIBUs.

True to form he is being horrible. Utterly vile. I’ve lost friends. I’ve lost money. He’s making choices that negatively impact the DC.

I am rising above it. I’m not taking the bait. I’m focusing on my wellbeing and being the best parent I can be.

But I’m angry. I feel powerless. The law sucks. I have no recourse. I need an outlet.

So I’m going to start plotting fantasy revenge scenarios.

First one: I know something about him that would destroy his reputation and lose him friends all over our small community. I fantasise about telling one person in ‘confidence’ knowing they would likely break it because they are a gossip. I’d have done nothing wrong but it would have the whole town talking about him negatively.

Anyone want to join me in a little evil fantasy revenge? What could I do? Small or big? Silly or serious! Or share your revenge stories. No judgement from me.

To be clear I won’t action anything and I’m not condoning revenge (mostly) but I really need to let out my feeling of powerlessness somehow!!

I’m sure he would be flattered to know how may people are talking about him right now! Is he worth all this headspace?

Phone all the local taxi firms and book lots of cabs to come and pick him up at the same time.

a friend of mine put her ex's mobile number on some public bathroom stalls saying "looking for fun" he had to change his number 👏🤣

A female pupil at the school where I worked many years ago made up cards with the classroom phone number of a teacher who'd given her a punishment...

She sneaked into the boys' toilets and affixed them above the urinals. This is genuine.

The Assistant Rector who was also her Year Head arrived at my classroom door: "Would you like me to save the cards Mrs Weary? I fear that you might not be able to get any more writing out of her for her Standard Grade coursework."

I've heard that pouring sugar in the petrol tank does a pretty good job of wrecking an engine!

LeftBoobGoneRogue · 24/03/2026 22:59

Baby oil smeared all over his card windscreen

Recruit someone who has access to his house to fill his steam iron up with piss.

Whenever he puts a fresh shirt on he'll think everyone else around him smells.

😂omg

Cut most of the threads attaching buttons to his clothing.

Love it. I could sow the seeds in the shape of a certain word beginning with C that I’ve become much more comfortable with recently.

😂

WearyAuldWumman · 24/03/2026 23:13

A serious one: live your life well and be happy without him. That will genuinely piss him off.

I saw someone say they still had a shared netflix account with their ex. They waited patiently until he was ready to watch the final of a long series. And rhen changed the password
I hope you have the best revenge of a happy life op

My Dad left, taking the only car, so Mum had to walk to work past the flat he was shacked up in with his 26 year old mistress.
She got her key out and scrawled My Half down one side of the car.
Not a fantasy 😄

I was thinking of signing his email/number up for advertising to do with embarrassing problems.

If you know his address then lots of post from equally embarrassing sites.

Damnedidont · 24/03/2026 23:35

Buy weedkiller. Make up good and strong in watering can and write cunt in large letters on his lawn

SunMoonandChocolate · 24/03/2026 23:47

If already living separately frequently book a taxi to pick him up ridiculous hours in the middle of the night.

If he's moved in with another woman, send him postcards signed with various women's names saying that he's given them Gonorrhoea, Syphilis, etc, and that he should tell all his sexual partners to get themselves checked.

Friendlygingercat · 25/03/2026 00:45

Baby oil (or anything sticky) on the car windscreen followed by carefully scattered wild bird seed under cover of darkness. Birds crap as they eat Oh joy. Great fun with cars who park on my dropped kerb.

A friend of mine cut the stitches at the base of all her DH’s trouser and jacket pockets before he moved out to the OW.

I hate to be ‘that’ person but these ideas are unhinged and fantasising about it to this extent isn’t healthy for you, it will just make you more bitter and he will be living rent free in your head even more. If you can find a way to disengage, you might find it leads to a calmer life.

I know. I’m doing A LOT of ‘letting it go’ - I’m becoming a ninja at it but the damage he’s doing to DC incenses me and I need to mentally punish him because I can’t prevent him doing it in real life. So I focus mostly on wellbeing for me and DC, let sooooo much go. But sometimes I just need to fantasise that he gets what he deserves because right now he’s living the life of Riley and there is no justice to be had.

I bet that didn’t “learn” you did it, Mrs Weary? 😂

Thankfully, I wasn't the victim! (I'm trying not to say too much, but she was the PT/Head of another department and someone who had been really snotty towards me...)

Whenever someone is annoying me, I like to imagine myself sneaking round to their house and ramming a potato up their car exhaust.

That didn't end how I thought it would.... 🫢 😂😂

I've always wanted to sew prawns into the hems of someone's curtains....
