Karma...or Revenge ....

[Oakleaf40]

I have split from my husband after nearly 20 years together, I had to live next to him for nearly 15mths until we were in a better financial position for him to move out. In that time he started a friendship with is now a relationship with another woman.

I was devastated as I thought we would always you know, work it out etc but hey she stepped.in to comfort him I guess..
Now they are moving in together and shes posting it all over social media alongside little cryptic posts having digs at me etc and its heartbreaking for me and she knows it. I have held head up high and not responded to anything which is so hard..
Anyway to cut a long story short he has told me that they are moving into a house together in a very small area, and have lied about the references as they got someone else to write a reference for them and they have said they only have two dogs. Tenancy only allows two small pets at the landlords discretion. They are going to move in with wait for it... 7 dogs.. plus a puppy so 8 in total..
I could let the estate agents know but I think I will let Karma work its magic

What are your thoughts..

Karma, and hope the rental has cream carpets in every room.

Get off FB. Don’t get involved.
The best revenge is living your best life.

That poor landlord, their property and furniture (if furnished) is going to get wrecked with 8 dogs living there ☹️

Who has 8 dogs in a small house???

Why are you on their social media? Are you actually friends with the new woman on social media? Why?

don't report them, just ignore them.

Agree that the best revenge is living a great life. It really is
Leave them to it.
Feel sorry for the landlord though

Let karma / the neighbours bait them out!.
I would remove her off social media & love yourself :). Disappear off the face of the earth and be happy. It says more about him moving on so quickly and moving in with her already. My ex did the same thing, but there’s no trace of this woman anywhere so he didn’t ‘look bad’. Men are very manipulative

No don't phone the estate agent.
They'll be found out soon enough with 8 dogs.
It's none of your business.

Get her blocked on social media. I've had to do that with the new girlfriend of my ex even though I've known her for way longer than him. Can't stand all the photos of places they have been visiting. No photos of them both together though - they think their relationship is a big secret.
Get both of them blocked on everything then you don't have to put up with seeing all this stuff.

Eeekkkk...
Think of the poor land lord.
That is not fair.
I would let estate agents know.
That place will be wrecked with 7 dogs and a puppy!!!!

In reality, I probably would report them because Im petty and vengeful at times. But I doubt much would happen. The agent will ask them, they will deny and they will move anyway. But they will know that you someone reported them.

The better course of action would be to wait until they move and then make a complaint, pretending to be a neighbour. The agent will inspect the property and know for certain. Then, they will be in breach of their lease. Its much more stressful to source a new property and move after 6 months or so. Especially with no previous landlord references etc

Block her

I'd imagine their neighbours would make a complaint about 8 dogs! It's not really something you can be discreet about!

I'd let time dish out their karma and if you just carry on focusing on you and having the best life you can, you might find that buy the time the shit hits the fan (literally) with them and these dogs you probably won't even care anymore....

I’d certainly thank you if I were the landlord & once they are in it will be very hard to get them out, not to mention how much any neighbours will hate them! It probably is less likely to come back on you if you report it anonymously as a ‘neighbour’ once they’re in - but still, that poor landlord..

Who the fuck has 7 dogs?! (Bar foster rescuers / people with Lots of Land etc )
Don't get involved, wait for karma and get busy enjoying YOUR own life!

There's a certain kind of woman who gets off on being the one that "won" the man over someone else. She feeds on knowing it's getting to you.

Delete them off social media and take no further interest in their miserable lives.

The reason she posts how wonderful things are - insecurity and jealousy. Just remember that. Every post makes her seem a little bit more insecure to everyone who reads it.

I adore my husband. We’ve been together for 25 years, since we were fifteen. He’s my world. Other than Mumsnet when it’s relevant, I’ve never posted about him on SM. Ever.
I’ve never felt the need to say ‘happy anniversary my true love’ on FB; or let everyone on Instagram know he’s taken me on a romantic weekend.
My friend on the other hand posts constantly about her deep love for her husband and they are the ones currently trying to overcome his numerous affairs.

So I’ll say it again. She is an insecure woman, with probably a really stinky home (8 dogs!) Good luck to your ex and you move on to something much, much better.

I'd report them, because it's funny to mess up their plans, plus they should learn not to lie. The landlord doesn't deserve that shit.

I'd wait until they are nicely settled in and the doggy aroma has the chance to permiate the carpets and then I'd give the estate agent/landlord a quick call.

Block them on social media.

If I were the landlord, I'd want to know.

Tell the estate agent/landlord.

Once they are in its bloody difficult kick them out, even if they are in breech of their terms.

Not fair on the landlord so you are being a good citizen- and kicking ex in the danglies in the process! 😃

I would tell the EA/Landlord because the house will be wrecked and stink and I say that as someone with pets!

OP, if the other woman is posting that shite on social media and making digs about you, then she is clearly very insecure about her relationship. Happy, content people just don’t blast or overshare their relationship like that.

As others have said, your best revenge is living your life. I appreciate it is difficult to adjust to your new way of this, but you have to look at all the good things you have going for you and think positively about your future.

I would leave them to it. Someone will grass them up if they move in with all those dogs. If you do it, it might come back on you and make you look like you did it because you are jealous or bitter.

Honestly, the temptation is so great to report a cheating ex, but be the better person and live your life.

I could have easily reported my ex and his father for something (tax avoidance) and could have sent evidence to their employer (Ex and the OW) as they conducted their affair in work time which wouldn't have gone down well.

The temptation was so great to exact revenge as I was so angry!! But I have made a good life for myself, I'm happier and with someone else in a healthier relationship. I've heard snippets about my ex, that he's apparently going through a miserable time, but I really don't care.

Don't waste your energy on your ex, focus on yourself.

I'd tell the agent/landlord, not for revenge, but because I'd be sorry for the poor landlord. It's really hard to get tenants out once they are in.

Blimey - my house can get whiffy and hairy with two dogs (and bedding), but eight!
