I once posted a very unflattering picture of my ex in the middle of a diabetes attack on Facebook. His eyes were bloodshot and his skin was greyish. I captioned it to say "I F***ed this for 13 months and survived." So immature.

Back when people still wrote zines, I wrote a zine documenting all the sleazy crap my ex had done (with no names and the identifying details changed) then handed it out to everyone I knew. And he knew. And sold it in local stores. And clubs.
10 yrs. later, I turned it into a blog. (He walked out on me and a 2-year-old without warning...I was justified.)

No. I feel it's undignified. I'd rather emerge looking like the better of the two.

That said, I've been reading the zine turned blog and love it.

No, that's just not me. My revenge was to focus on myself, working out, being healthy, and accomplishing my goals. That way, I was able to feel better, even though I still had plenty of bad days in the process of getting over him. When I ran into him from time to time, I would be looking good and I would be able to tell him about what I'd accomplished in my life (without him).

god i loved this sequence in Glee . . . no stories about exacting revenge, but thanks for posting the clip!

Though I understand the desire to exact revenge, it's never been in me to do it. I agree with some of the above statements, it's not dignified, it's not ladylike, and you never want a revenge plot to backfire you and end up hurting you more than you already were. It's just part of being an adult.

Yeah -- live a better life

I'm with Runningesq. I moved on, and led a happy life.

Sort of. I found out he was cheating on me and had a separate email account for his liaison. He was a li'l predictable with passwords, so I logged in, deleted all his mails and contacts and closed the account. Sadly, only worked up the nerve to dump his sorry a** 3 months later.

Thanks for the tip about being "predictable" with passwords! LOL!

I had an ex who went nearly berserk when we broke up; a couple weeks later she broke out a screen, broke into my house while I was "entertaining" a new acquaintance. When I went out to confront her, she decided to practice those moves she was taught to discourage an attacker - kick to the groin, etc. Little did she know that the advantage I had in outweighing her by 100 lbs and being 13" taller was enough to render her attack pretty ineffective.
I did relent and let her leave via the front door instead of the way she entered...

The best revenge is looking/being fabulous and being breezy and friendly when you run into him accidentally. My brothers and guy friends agree: it's always a bit disheartening to realize that your ex-girlfriend isn't pining for you after all.

I root against the Denver Broncos because when they lose, my ex is sad. Or at least he used to be when we were together. This silly revenge rooting may be ending since I now live close to Denver and I like all my neighbors who are fans.

No, but I definitely thought about it.

No, but I had thoughts about doing stuffs like putting Nair in his shampoo, etc, just never went through with them.
And yeah, I agree with dm8bri, the best revenge is to look fabulous and being happy with your life (now it's sans him!).

I wish I could bust the guy's windows!

Glee is my new favourite show. SO good.

Nope..... I preferred to take the high road and move on.

lol, I haven't done any revengeful things, but an ex of mine tried to pull one on me. During the time we dated he had been waiting for a settlement from a company that screwed him over for his technical work and as settlements do, it was taking a very long time. His lawyer had quoted him at the least another 6 months of waiting. So, we broke up really abruptly, and not 3 days later he sent me this long email about how he got the settlement and he was moving into his brand new house and yadda yadda and look at how much I was missing out on. lol. Right, buddy... in 3 days you randomly got your settlement, closed on a house, and have moved on in your oh so fabulous life. mmhmm...

I found that just walking away and not paying attention to the guy who breaks up with you ends up being the best revenge. I didn't really see it until recently but the cliche living well (and looking good) is the best revenge- so true

I just told his future girlfriend, whom I was friends with in the past, what a jerk he was and to be careful. I also told him that if he hurt her I'd hurt him. She told me that what I told her made her apprehensive. Needless to say, they broke up and I still haven't talked to him. She said she should have listened to me and shes sorry she wasted her time. Him not hurting a friend was my revenge.
