I just wanted to run this one by you to get some opinions. I have recently gone through a bad break up with an older married man who i had an affair with, and in the end he acted despicably and cowardly instead of being honest and saying things how they were. I have not been angry about the fact that it ended but about how he did it. I have found it difficult to come to terms with how he acted, especially because it has made me feel there was something wrong with me / i wasnt good enough etc, which I know logically are nonsense but I still felt it and sometimes still do.
I have enough information to take revenge on him, by letting his wife know what he did, his world in which safety he hides within would be destroyed. And I have to say that even though I know this is totally wrong, the idea of it feels very satisfying. I do not think i am going to execute it, because I pride myself in not hurting people on purpose and in being better not bitter and I also believe that if you revenge you may as well dig two graves. No doubt he would retaliate and try and destroy my world, which I am not willing to risk. So I guess I am just going to have to get over the urge and walk away and be the bigger person, but I cannot deny, even knowing that its wrong, that the idea is very, very tempting.
I just wanted to know what you thought guys. Have you ever taken revenge on someone who has hurt you? What was the result? what do you think I should do? Thanks for reading x
