Cheating happens. Unfortunately I am one of the many people in this world that was betrayed by someone I loved and thought loved me. In a nutshell, after dating my boyfriend for 3 years, I discovered (via MySpace) that he had recently met a girl and started having a relationship with her. Needless to say, I was devastated, angry, sad, embarassed...you name it.

After meeting with "the other woman", we realized that neither of us did anything wrong and that he was the jerk in the situation. Instead of turning our energy against each other, we came up with several ideas on how to get some harmless revenge on a jerk who we knew needed to be taught a lesson. Enjoy!



Four Ideas for Harmless Revenge

  1. Post flyers in your local party area - Most likely the guy is going to feel the need to find someone new now that both women in his life are gone. Make sure the innocent girls out there know who he is! Use a recent picture, use his real name, perhaps a few choice adjectives and print on bright paper. Find the most populated bar or club in your area and post away!
  2. Go on the air - After everything went down, I sent an email to a local radio station telling them what happened. They were very interested in the story and wanted to make a morning skit out of it. I didnt go through with it because I was still very hurt, but for those who are in full anger mode, this could be great!
  3. Rent a Mobile Billboard - I'm sure you've seen them, the trucks that drive around the city with a billboard attached to the back. These are an effective way to make sure that nobody misses your message. Its a step up from posting flyers, but a little expensive. I got an estimate of $1200 for one weekend and I could use a picture and say whatever I wanted as long as there was no profanity or adult content.

  4. Warn new love interests - With online social networks, it is very easy to know who the ex might be involved with. Dont be afraid to send that person (whether you know them or not) a message letting them know what happpened. Chances are they have been lied to as well and should know what they are getting themselves into.

Hi,

While the above are some ways to 'get even',,,the best is doing nothing. There is much truth to 'what comes around, goes around' (or vice-versa).

I once had a 'best friend' in high school. I was dating a guy a bit older than me, and we had a date around the holidays. So, he picked me up, and after about an hour, was heading back to my house. I asked, what are you doing? his reply, 'I'm not fit company today'. Sooooo he dumps me off, leaves. I am so upset I hop in my car and drive to my 'best friend's' house. As I pull up, what do I see but MY boyfriend escorting her out to his car along with her parents! They did end up marrying.

I eventually got over it, and after I had been married for a number years, ran into my old 'best friend'. I said hi, how are you and Bob doing? She replied, oh, we're divorced. In my head I was saying 'it serves you right'. She inquired about me, and I gleefully told her I was happily married with two children. You couldn't have wiped the smile from my face, I was glowing the rest of the day :)

Happy hubbing!

I agree with you Trish1048, what goes around will come back around again!!! I also have been very hurt by my ex boyfriend he is older. He was just a totally liar!!JERK. We were living together for 1 year he had lied to me about so many things and he thought I wouldn't find out, BUT I found out all about his dirty lies and secrets. He have scammed so many women and even his own family. A part of me wanted to get revenge but deep down inside some thing tells me he will be very sorry in the longer run! I am so happy for you! wish you all the best!!!!

I think this could be dangerous advice to some, haha. I broke up with a girl a little while back who would do something like that even though I was as supportive and helpful as I possibly could be throughout the whole process. She probably wouldn't even stop at exaggeration either, she'd make something up..

I had the same experience and broke up with the liar 2 months back. Still in recovery stage. The worst part is that I have to work with him and see him everyday...showing how happy he is with the girl that he cheated me with. He is telling everyone that he is happily in love and never felt like this before and plan to get marry next year... what an inconsiderate jerk..

All my friends told me 'what comes around, goes around' and the time will come..and I hope it comes soon cos i am not the 1st victim that he cheated on..

Im in the Army... my wife cheated on me with 4 men while i was deployed to the middle east. she lied to me the entire time i was gone and i didnt find out the actual truth till i got home and one of her female friends told me. She was hurt that she betrayed my wife's friendship but felt it was the right thing to do. Sadly she was living with the last guy and in a "serious" relationship with him. The guy knew we were married and just didnt care. Why anyone would want to be with a women who is capable of such things is beyond me. That was the hardest thing i have ever gone through in my life. harder then losing friends in action... women are the devil! lol
