Ways to get revenge!

56 replies

NeverShine4me · 18/01/2018 21:06

My husband really annoyed me tonight (he keeps moaning he is tired but reads his book too late so I can't turn off the light and sleep) and also resting his feet on the new stair carpet instead of on the hard floor, so I decided to take revenge.

I carefully cut 3 pages out of his book! How frustrating! Have you got any sneaky ways to get revenge. I also use the iPad to control sky when he is watching it and change the channel. He has know idea it is me!

Agree with poster who said your husband should LTB

BoneyBackJefferson · 19/01/2018 07:13

The best revenge would be to grow up and act like an adult.

Hernameisdeborah · 19/01/2018 07:52

I'd say cutting pages out of books that don't belong to you and posting on a forum for ideas for other ways to act like an arsehole is far worse than reading with the light on or putting shoes on a hallway carpet. Seriously OP, grow up.

cantthinkofasinglegoodusername · 19/01/2018 08:02

Wtf? You cut pages out of his book?? So you've permanently damaged it.
Just tell him to go downstairs and read. Why can't you sleep if he's downstairs? What are you 5? Sleep on your own ffs.

Bluntness100 · 19/01/2018 08:08

You cut pages out his book? You change the channel when he's watching tv, and now you want other ideas on how to mess with him? What's wrong with you?

What odd behaviour.

ShatnersWig · 19/01/2018 08:14

If everyone is wondering why your behave like this, OP, perhaps you should remind them of your thread of 8 Jan where you were basically advised to simply end your marriage which began as follows:

I've been married for 8 years and it's always been more of a marriage of convenience rather than love. We have a child. He was much keener than me to have a child and I suppose my uncertainly stemmed from the fact that I knew I didn't fully have confidence in the marriage.

ALittleBitConfused1 · 19/01/2018 08:14

You sound like a delightful person, why don't you just ask him politely to take his shoes off, failing that you could hide all of his shoes, that will teach him.
Seriously it sounds to me like you have too much time on your hands.

Fosterdog123 · 19/01/2018 08:20

What do you mean, rests his feet/shoes on stair carpet? Does he sit on a chair facing the stairs or lie on the floor? I don't gerrit.....

pollythedolly · 19/01/2018 08:23

You don't even like him, do you.

Offred · 19/01/2018 08:26

This is abuse.

Get a grip.

If you don’t love him or even like him then leave.

You also can’t blame him for the marriage, you chose to marry him and have a child even though you knew you didn’t love him, which is a further example of your shitty behaviour IMO. So what if he was keen? You just say you are not keen...

🙄

You might think you are being clever and funny but you are gaslighting him in horrible ways.

QueenofallIsee · 19/01/2018 08:33

Defacing a book? That is not acceptable. Ever

And this because he put his feet on a carpet? Disproportionate response to the extreme

PNGirl · 19/01/2018 08:38

Jesus. If I had a wife that clearly felt such contempt for me as to damage my belongings I'd be at the solicitor's office the next day.

Snowzicle · 19/01/2018 08:52

This is gaslighting.

It's an actual form of abuse. Cutting pages out of his book, changing the channels on the TV without letting him know how that's happening is psychological abuse.

And it's also really weird. I honestly think you need to leave your marriage and get help.

WitchesHatRim · 19/01/2018 08:54

You sound about 5.

Ridiculous behaviour.

SleepingStandingUp · 19/01/2018 08:55

Cutting pages out of my book and justifying it as its not a proper book because it isn't something you want to read would seriously make me consider LTB as he would clearly have no respect for me.

Playing with the telly whilst he's watching it if also immature.

Can I suggest you leave him and find someone you like?

SparklyMagpie · 19/01/2018 08:59

Oh you're fucking hilarious,why don't you just cut his feet off so he can't wear his muddy shoes on the carpet? Hmm

IrianOfW · 19/01/2018 09:03

I hope he LTB asap.

Babyg1995 · 19/01/2018 09:06

surely this is a joke if not your an idiot and your husband should ltb.

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 19/01/2018 09:18

I find people like this deeply disturbing. It’s one thing to play a (not mean) trick on someone then let them know later so you can both laugh about it (not my thing but I get it), but to do various mean things just to mess with someone’s head, and silently gloat to yourself about it... that’s just messed up.

LegArmpits · 19/01/2018 09:20

Are you Mrs Twit? 😂

namechange2222 · 19/01/2018 09:24

Yes sure you did. If you are so bored you need to share this infantile behaviour and expect brownie points I'd suggest you put your time to better use
Your behaviour is abusive
Assuming you're an adult go to bed when you're tired. Once you are divorced you'll be sleeping alone anyway.
The carpet thing is just clearly bad manners from your partner. Sort out the manners without resorting to pay back

ShatnersWig · 19/01/2018 09:29

It's now clear why your husband didn't do anything for your birthday last year. It all makes sense...

elQuintoConyo · 19/01/2018 09:37

My mother was like this. After they divorced i whatsapped a link to a site about gaslighting to my dad. It made him cry as he read through it as it was a basic list of what my mum had done for years.

It is no way for anyone to live: wife, husband, children - it affects all of them.

I'd say stop being such a cunt, but i'm sure my post would be deleted.

Angelf1sh · 19/01/2018 09:50

You are very, very, strange. I think you should consider therapy.

Deecee1012 · 19/01/2018 09:59

While I have no wish to be disrespectful...a part of me is hoping your husband reads Agatha Christie books every night with the house lit up like a Christmas tree, wearing wellies.
