Revenge....would you?

[cleanbreak2022]

I saw a segment on morning tv last week about revenge and whether you would exact revenge if you could.

It got me thinking, there's so many people on the forum that have suffered a great wrong, innocently going about their lives and BAM and huge deceitful betrayal is thrown at them.

So if you could, would you take revenge? I'm not suggesting violence or any such. As an example, if your ex spouse had an affair and their beloved collectible car was thrown in the matrimonial pot, would you ask for it so you could sell/scrap it? If money was your ex partners motivation, would you 'take them for all their worth'? If they had called you names like 'fat' or 'ugly' would you go all revenge body? If you had the opportunity to take all their money or a precious possession, would you?

I'm not a journo! I have many posts I'm just curious, if the opportunity arose, would you take it?

DH was cheating on me with someone who had just got a large inheritance, so when I found out he was cheating on HER with yet another ow I let both girls know what he was doing.
I walked away from it all and never found out what happened, but I suspect it wasn't anything good.

I wish I’d gone with petty revenge. Instead I tried “kill ‘em with kindness” and have just ended up being even more treated like a mug. It’s incredibly true that no good deed goes unpunished.

There's a saying 'Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves'.
I like to think karma takes care of things.

Absolutely. I’m hugely vengeful. And devious.

Yep - me too

A friend just ran into someone who did her a very bad turn. The other lady wanted to pretend they were old friends, called out her name in a loud friendly voice. When my friend turned around and saw who it was she said nothing, just looked, stone faces. Other lady says “it’s me, Janet!”

My friend replied, “I know who you are, Janet.” Then turned around and kept walking.

This is my kind of “revenge”. Not a big deal, not planned, but definitely will leave a sting.

No. I don't give negatively headspace so revenge only hurts you further

If we`re talking about an ex who betrayed us in some way or who was shit to us, he will make his own life shit, so probably not worth making efforts for him. But there are cases when I consider revenge, maybe not to an ex, but other people who f*ck us in life. Depends on what it is and how much effort it takes. At the end, the most important is to live your best life as a PP said.

100% would if i knew i could get away with it!

@AliceOlive Oh what a beautiful moment 🤣🤣 “I know who you are Janet…”
