lets have one for the girls here, am sick of hearing about lying cheating blokes. want to hear abut how we got our own back on them. i dosed my exh with laxatives,he was alcoholic and drank all the time leaving our babygirl without money for nappies.every time he was drunk, i mixed andrews salts ect into his dinner(cant taste it in curry/chilli/spicy stuff).the resulting shits got blamed on the drink,when he stopped i stopped.lol

Not me but I know my mums friend served up a dogfood pie and watched him eat it .

solidgoldbrass · 17/11/2008 12:38

Do you think it's really wise to confess to a criminal assault on an internet forum? Because this was a criminal assault, however satisfactory it may have been at the time.

The best revenge on unsatisfactory partners is to move on and live happily without them BTW.

Fiveplusbump · 17/11/2008 12:39

Yes I have to agree with SGB
Living well is the best revenge ,tempting as it may be to cut up clothes and the rest of it .

onepieceoflollipop · 17/11/2008 12:40

I agree with solidgold. My best "revenge" on my cheating and abusive partner was to finally be able to walk away, head high, and live "happily ever after" knowing that I was doing the best for myself.

lulumama · 17/11/2008 12:40

agree with SGB

however outraged you feel, it is still illegal to poison/assualt/ damage their property etc

the best revenge is to live well while their life is crap.

i understand the motivation for revenge, but cutting up clothes/ damaging cars etc is going to get you potentially into trouble

there is a lot to be said for quiet dignity

expatinscotland · 17/11/2008 12:42

dumped him and got married to someone far better within a year, someone far younger than he was, too .

haahaaa. and he thought he had me by the balls here and controlled whether i stayed or went.

wrong o!

cheesesarnie · 17/11/2008 12:42

agree with sgb.

why lower yourself to the blokes level?

Simplysally · 17/11/2008 12:42

The best revenge is indifference to them and what they do/have done. If you react to whatever they do/have done, then you are showing that you actually give a damn. Head up and move on with dignity.

dsrplus8 · 17/11/2008 12:49

thats me told off then!!!!i agree it is better to walk away dignified with your self respecy and have a happy life without them. but thats not the point of this thread ,as for myself i did actually tell exh after he stopped drinking and he laughed. unfortunatly it didnt stop him cheating with his drinking buddy/freind from work!perhaps we should change this to what we wantde to do to an ex to get revenge but didnt cause were to dignified to lower ourselves??rolof at the dogfood pie, did he eat it ? what do you serve with it ,chips or bonios??lol

Well it was not revenge exactly but an old ex would not let me back to collect any of my belongings and I had been drying lots of valerian root in the airing cupboard.

As it dries out, it emits a foul smell of rank socks and mutual friends told me that he had "really let himself go in the hygiene department" since I had gone.

dsrplus8 · 17/11/2008 12:52

liking the getting a younger better man within the year. nice one!!!

expatinscotland · 17/11/2008 12:53

not intentional, it just worked out that way.

but teh ex did phone me up and said, 'you're marrying that kid?'

i said, 'married. that's MARRIED, pal. working on getting pregnant, too. about to throw this SIM card into the Forth, too. bye now!'

Yurtgirl · 17/11/2008 12:53

I didnt and wont get revenge on my ex h - life is too short to bother

Simplysally · 17/11/2008 12:53

My BIL told me to throw battery acid over an ex's car to ruin the paintwork -needless to say, I did not - besides which it might have splattered me.

I could have rung the DVLA to say he was also in possession of two driving licences (one clean, one with points on - same personal details) but I chose not to do that either since he would have known who grassed him up. Plus he would have lost his job as he applied for it with the 'clean' licence which was no longer valid. I wonder sometimes if I should have taken action as presumably he wouldnt' have been covered by insurance?

dsrplus8 · 17/11/2008 12:55

gentalotter, that stuff STINKS !!!! brilliant,bet u laughed for weeks at the thought of him trying to work out where the smell was comming from ?rolof

a friend of mine's ex threw a can of open paint through her back windscreen.

and got community service for it.

cheesesarnie · 17/11/2008 12:56

simplysally-i didnt know people could do that!

Simplysally · 17/11/2008 12:59

CS -He'd applied for a duplicate licence when he got the points (for going through a no-entry sign). He sent off the duplicate to the court for endorsement and retained the original as the clean copy.

Quite easy but to do that shows you're a bit of a devious so and so.

dsrplus8 · 17/11/2008 13:10

i also took out the stitching of exh favorite jeans ,just a bit at the a*se.he didnt notice until out with mutual freinds.i had a great time after he went home to change!!!lol

Revenge is not always sweet. I know of a girl rather stupidly sent a photo of her giving her new boyfriend a blow job to her exBF (I guess to show what a good time she was having without him??).

The exBF just posted the photo to the girl's parents.

dsrplus8 · 17/11/2008 13:16

why??? why send it in the first place? the point of revenge is to make the x feel/look like a twat .poor girl.must tell her never put anything in her mouth that doesnt come in a wrapper!eeewww

My aunt cut one arm off of all my uncle's shirts and one leg off all his trousers when he left her for an OW.
I always thought she was a bit of a wierdo tbh.

BBeingpatient · 17/11/2008 15:47

i think alot of you have missed the point of this lighthearted thread, and surely the point of an anonymous forum is to confess shameful things that weve done? i mean its not like dr tried to kill the bloke?!

i agree about the best revenge part but jeez im sure the op was just hoping to share a few lighthearted experiences!!

i myself am a mistress of the very succint and non-obvious revenge... i wish!!

GentleOtter · 17/11/2008 18:54

Well ok.

I put prawns in his curtain poles.

Fizzfiend · 17/11/2008 19:05

I was young and this does sound a bit psycho but it made me feel better. I sent cheating boyfriend and birthday card. I made it myself...got tadpoles, worms, etc from the garden, nuked them and stuck them to the card and covered in a vile perfume sample that was SO rank. I know, I know, it was bad...I would never hurt those poor creatures now, but I was young and VERY ANGRY!!!
