Hmmm - I wrote a letter to every single head of department of the place he worked and to people who looked after the notice board (twas someone at work).

The wrote letter to every single person in his family and all our friends. No holds barred stuff!

Then I wrote to the OW every week or so and left her messages on her answerphone - just little chit chatty stuff - making sure she knew what she was taking on!

He was much older than him, so I used to copy any articles out of mags and newspapers about age differences and the problems there of and send them to them both!

Basically, I used each and every opportunity to get a dig in to great effect

He must have been a very bad boy.

Soapbox · 12/03/2007 14:58

Of course he binned her - or rather I suspect she binned him

God, everything was in the letters, every last detail of his philandering ways and all the lies he had told.

I think he got into a lot of trouble over it - as she was a grad trainee over from their French company for a 6 month secondment, and he was a senior manager, so really should not have been shagging her

There's tonnes more too - he wanted to come and pick up his recipie books so he could cook for her (sensitive chap wasn't he) and I cut out all his favourite recipies from them. Cue one very irate telephone call the day of the dinner

We were going to relate, but he didn;t want to tell her in case it worried her that he might not leave me afterall - so I used to call her every week and tell her what we'd talked about!

Oh dear - it is all coming back now

I remember finding all these boxes of condoms and putting pins through them all

Oh and when I bagged all his clothes etc up for him to come and get, I put one shoe of each pair in the bag and one in the bin. Same with suits - jackets in the bag, trousers in the bin.

LOL

The joy of divorce without children involved is that I never had to look at his slimey lying face again!

To his credit he didn't once complain about me to my face - but his sister used to ring me up in fits of laughter telling me his reaction to my latest revenge attack!

Soapbox · 12/03/2007 15:09

Oh Pruni - I have asked myself that question about a zillion times

I can only assume that it was to keep me occupied until my now DH came along so that we could make the wonderful children we now have!

If it hadn;t been for this loser in my life, I wouldn't have my DH or my children and they more than compensate for putting up with exh for 12 years or so!

Flamesparrow · 12/03/2007 15:10

Oooh revenge is goooooooooooood

Soapbox · 12/03/2007 15:12

Well Flamey - while it is very amusing now - it is awful to imagine the pain that lies behind doing this kind of thing. And there are so many people in the midst of separation and divorce, going through that horrible times, and having a bit of a laugh about it, might make it seem much lighter hearted than it actually is

I'm really a ver easy going person - but not one to keep pain to myself in such situations

Soapbox · 12/03/2007 15:12

Oops - dreadful sentence construction!

Flamesparrow · 12/03/2007 15:15

I think the revenge is therapeutic - my mum is still pleased about having run her car across my dad's mistress's lawn!!

expatinscotland · 12/03/2007 15:17

My pal bribed a security guard at her man's office for footage of him having sex with her in his office.

She sent it to his wife, his boss, his mother, etc.

mylittlestar · 12/03/2007 15:17

Love it

I know the reasons behind what you did are heartbreaking and that should never be underestimated

But I love the way you handled it. I'd do the same!

expatinscotland · 12/03/2007 15:18

I wish I'd listened to my ex boyfriend's ex girlfriend.

She was spot on.

He really was a twat.

WaynettaSlob · 12/03/2007 15:18

Soapy I am seeing you in a very different light- I dread to think what might have happened if the Christmas Appeal wasn't successful!!!!!!
