I am quite vindictive by nature,although very loyal and loving to family,friends,partner’s etc.

So the question is,if you found out your partner was say for example a serial offender when it comes to being unfaithful.
Would you consider having an affair,one night stand,kiss or whatever by way of revenge.

Would you feel better if you did,or have?

Please don’t go in to the principles and rights and wrongs of it,this is a hypothetical question asked out of curiosity.

Just to get the ball rolling.

Would I ?

Yes!

No though tempting it may be.

I think I would as a big fuck you tbh. But I am a very fuck you in a self destructive way type of person. One of my exes cheated on me so I stole £300 off him and rang him to tell him I was spending his money as a fuck you.

Compared to the majority of posters on mn post I think I'm quite immoral.

How exactly does one go about having an affair out of spite?

I'd imagine that the only willing participants in a "spite affair" would either be very stupid (not to notice that you weren't doing it because you liked them) or very thoughtless (not to care that you didn't actually like them) and either way I wouldn't want to do anything with those people.

I used the term psychopath as in it's clinical definition of a personality disorder - reduced or absent social responsibility, empathy or remorse.

Funnily enough, I did not mean that people who pretend to love, care for and admire someone to get revenge on another, are murderers.
