Has anyone on here any good ideas for revenge?

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for revenge that they had either carried out or fantasised about on abusive twat exes. I see nothing wrong with revenge as long as it makes you feel better. I have namechanged for this post.

Several years ago I was unfortunately in an abusive relationship with a creep who was obsessed with himself, cannabis and sex. He had tried to bully me into taking cannabis as well as class A drugs and into taking part in sexual practices I was very uncomfortable with. Plus lots and lots of other things, too much to go in to right now.

When I finally broke up with him for good, I returned the vibrators he had bought me (yes he bullied me into using sex toys too, I hated it Blush) with a note which read:
"Dear Ex-Creep, I have had my use from these. They were better than anything you had to offer me, but not as good as what I'm getting now. You don't need me to tell you where you can stick them."

Childish I know and it would have definitely hurt him as he always saw himself as God's gift to women. And it made me feel soooo much better and over him!

I was so tempted to get revenge on a horrible ex of mine. I still had keys to his flat and knew he walked to work. I was very tempted to let myself into his flat one day when I knew he'd be working, take his car keys, move his car one street to the left, and then put the keys back. But it remained a fantasy as I wasn't insured on his car and it could have caused me no end of grief had it gone wrong............. Was fun to think about though!

I never did this - but it was a brilliant fantasy for a while. My counsellor said it was a good one, too. She thought that revenge fantasies were very therapeutic.

My fantasy was to get my 'd'm (she'd procured me to be abused btw) to sign a form as witness to my signature. The forms were to be for her to leave her body to scientific research after her death. There can be no funeral. There would have been a memorial service with everyone saying 'Oh, what a Christian thing of tb's mother to do, to leave her body to medical research'.

Well, hung over medical students have to get their bodies for anatomy and dissection from somewhere, don't they?

Sent for the forms, but never did anything with them. 15 years later, she's nearly 96, still as pleasant as ever, and just as sectionable as she ever was.

Just hope I get the chance to say a few words at her funeral - to set the balance straight as it were. She did something that killed my aunt - I at least owe my aunt to set the record straight on her behalf.

Revenge fantasies are fine. Sometimes they lead you in very positive directions (Sue Grafton who writes the Kinsey Milhone stories apparently started them after spending a long time fantasizing about killing her XH and working out how to do it...). But generally violence and criminal damage because you got dumped... well that just suggests that you got dumped because you are a horrible person.

Bogeyface · 19/06/2011 00:58

I agree that keeping it as a fantasy is probably best...

unless you are Mrs Ryan Giggs in which case, go for your life girl!!!

SCGB..I have read the Kinsey Millhone stories A is for Alibi etc, they are brilliant..I always thought it was an amazing way to channel the energy from thoughts of revenge on Sue Graftons part...

me..I recently had my h of 12 years walk out on me..and have now discovered that he was in deed having a full blown affair...I would never do anything illegal or dangerous..I have my children to think of and go by the old adage of revenge is a dish best served cold..my revenge will be when he realises his fantasy woman isnt so perfect..and I will have moved on..

the best one for scumbag exes who you dont have the connection of DCs with though I think is next time you bump into them..say.."Im sorry..Ive been on incredibly heavy medication.for a few years (however long you were with them).who the fudge are you?"Grin

I once sent letters from a fictitious STD clinic to a cheating ex,and all the women that he'd ever 'known'. The letter suggested that they should make urgent appointments with their nearest clinic,for a check-up. I don't know if any of them took up the suggestion Grin

Going back a few years here, was seeing what i thought was a lovely bloke for 6 months, found out he had been sleeping with anything that moved. Wasn't planned revenge, but feeling very upset an needing some comfort phoned an old 'friend' who came round, after he left i went straight round to cheating boyfriends house ( 2mins away ) an gave him the biggest longest kiss i could. Without telling him i had just had someone elses erm, fluids, in my mouth. Never told him, but it made me feel better.

Mine's quite a boring one and it was over 10 years ago before i became a parent, so I was still a bit 'flighty'. My DH admitted to having an affair with a work colleague who was also a friend to both of us (so I thought) then continued to see her and phone her behind my back whilst still living at home and 'working' on our marriage.
I discovered that he was planning to attend a work xmas do that she would be at.Obviously she wouldn't be driving that night so when it was dark I went to her house, punctured all her tyres and scratched the paintwork on every panel of the car.

She never knew it was me ( I heard from someone else that she just thought it was drunken xmas revelers as she lived in the city centre) and it cost her a fortune to get it put right. it didn't take the hurt away but it was very satisfying at the time. But of course it was criminal damage and I would never do something like that now....

My revenge is not something I've done myself, it's the consequences for my stbx of his behaviour over the years.

On the way 'up' in his career he has surrounded himself with people who have overlooked his (many and breathtaking) professional failings and protected him from this - sadly, for him, these people have all now gone. The colleagues who have watched and built up ever larger resentments (whole teams, not just individuals) are now themselves in positions to support, or not, my stbx as his star is fading and he is in a precarious situation.

My revenge is to watch, enjoy, and anticipate what comes around. I haven't had to do a thing. Grin

memorylapse · 20/06/2011 14:11

you could also of course ring OW up or better still bump into her publicly..and thank her so much for staying H off your hands, that shes done you a great favour as to be honest hes a frikkin nightmare to live with..what with all his emotional bagagge etc and "dont even get me started on the erectile dysfunction"..then hang up or smile sweetly and walk away

I heard this story a while ago but thought it was genius... A girl found out her fiance had been cheating on her, He ended up admitting it and as part of the settlement the girl had no choice but to be bought out of the house, She went round 1 day to pick up the last of her belongings, the fiance was at work so she took the opportunity to put the smelliest fish she could find in the inside of the curtain rails in 4 of the rooms.

she watched for the next 6 months as her ex and his new woman sment a fortune having the house thouroughly cleaned throughout to try and rid the house of the smell, they had no idea where it was coming from and just wanted to leave and get away from it but they couldnt even sell the house it was so bad. The ex then got in touch with her ex fiance and said she would buy the house from them for a lot less than they were asking for, He was made up they could get away from the smell, and the girl was made up she got her house back!

I always think Ill do this one if it ever comes to it between me and him!!

elastamum · 20/06/2011 14:26

My revenge is to live well and be really happy.

Getting a good job, keeping the house and 3 years on having my ex (who I am now on good terms with) come round and tell me how our kids think my new bf is great and they really like him.

Sad though it is, I did also feel a tiny smirk when DS2 told me ex and his new wife row all the time - just wish they didnt do it in front of the kids Sad
