Not Asking For Much...

When women get dumped I think we go through all the normal stages of loss; denial, anger and grief...but before acceptance, there is one other unspoken stage...

Revenge.

But NOT in a creepy stalker type way...more like a 'make him eat his words' way.

Let's face it, the best way to get back at the asshole for dumping you is to come up with a way make him wish he had never let you go...then give him the brush off. How is this achieved?

Some women, if able, take the 'make him jealous' route. This involves upgrading to a new super hot boyfriend that has no problem with PDA, especially at the same party/event that the ex happens to be attending. Oops.

The more common route is to kill him with sexiness. This is when we take all the anger, all the bitterness and all the frustration of the break-up and we throw it into hitting the gym. That way, the next time he see us, we are looking so smokin' hot...all he'll be able to think about is how he can invite himself over. No sweeter satisfaction can be had than having your exboyfriend try to pick you up, only to turn him down flat and then confident as you please... glide away, leaving him to watch your backside sway off into the sunset.

Cue music, "I don't think you're ready for this, my body's too booty-licious for you babe."

Revenge is an essential part of a break up.

Or, just as sweet is finding out that there life is much much worse than yours.

destiny's child is great plotting revenge music!

I like to plot the revenge but never act out on it. It always seems better in my head anyway!

Revenge usually takes the form of fish filets in my life. In the warm months, they smell really bad, really quickly. They are also easy to hide.

Ah, revenge! You are a catch, you don't have to do anything special to make those ex's feel like they are missing out. Your happiness is what will drive them to your doorstep begging.

Revenge isn't all it's cracked up to be. I thought about it a few times after my ex dumped me but decided the best revenge is continue to go on living happy. Besides, I'm a firm believer in Karma. What ever goes around, comes around. So I'll take a pass ob revenge. It's not worth it.

That's the best- look so smokin hot that they cringe to think they ever left you. Just be careful when you're in Target, wearing sweats, and you see the ex- RUN FOR COVER. This recently happened to me- I hadn't seen my ex in about 4 years and i just happened to run into him when I left the gym.. all sweaty and frizzy. I am married now and shouldn't care, but you always do. Dammit!

I've been having really good luck with the ex run-ins. It seems like every time I run into one of them I've just had my hair done and I'm one my way to some event I got all dolled up for. Knock on wood that the good luck continues, because there is plenty of opportunity for run-ins where I haven't washed my hair in days and I'm looking like hell.

The most memorable ex-boyfriend run-in was the day I ran into one at our favourite fish and chip place. This guy was a stock broker and not short on cash that I dated when I was a poor student. Anyway, when I ran into him, he was eating with his toddler, the child of the woman he dated before and after me, adorable child. I was getting take-out and looking fabulous. He was finishing up just as my food was ready so we walked out to our cars together. I was driving my boss' Jag - I was picking up dinner for folks working late at the office. So the boyfriend looked at the car, raised an eyebrow and asked if I was dating someone new - asshole!

No revenge is a horrible way i agree. The best thing to do is just walk away and let him look back and realize he let the best get away. I went through this a week ago and try as i did to not call him - it was hard - you're doing just fine beautiful.

i am married to the one love of my life......but both of us being short tempered and eg*****c, we dump (read as squabble with) each other every once a while and get together after wards.....right now i have been dumped :(

but this is a new approach we married men too need to think about.

Living well (and being smoking hot with a totally hotter new beau) is the best revenge.

So says the cliche.

And you. And me.

At least, that is what I am hoping for.

as a bloke
i tend to go off the radar if i split with someone. different parties, different places, different faces. unless i'm not bothered by it, then i don't change my habits

Very nice post, Linny me girl. I'm all for revenge if the guy deserves it. If not, then I take the good karma route.

Hope the storm didn't get too bad last night. We had a pretty bad one Sunday night. Trailer vs third floor apartment? I think we'd both get sent to Oz. ;)

Happy Tuesday and take care,
~ Ash
