mortensorchid Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Forgive me for gloating for a bit, but I feel I am entitled to a little once in a while. The Cake Man was put through the ringer! To review, last summer I was with someone who I was really excited about. I found out the hard way that he was just a child in a man's body. He was the one who I baked a cake for his birthday, only to have him blow me off and break it off via email / text message. He said he felt like things were getting serious very quickly with us, and he couldn't get into another 3 or 5 year mistake like he had made before with these other two girls. What they had to do with me, I'm not sure, as I would never steal a man's credit cards, use him to support my kids (if I had any), or crash his car. He said he wanted us to be friends, but he took up with some trashy woman who has a reputation for being crazy soon afterwards, and he refused to talk to me when I saw him out places. I was hurt, I thought we would at least be on semi speaking terms, when we see each other in a public place he would at least say "Hi how are you?" but no such luck. The trashy woman DUMPED HIM and he's DEVISTATED. Just goes to show you that you reap what you sow. And how typical of guys who would rather have trash than a good woman and get burned. Today I am feeling happy, in a perverse way.

Today I am feeling happy, in a perverse way. Well you could say that justice was served. I have mixed views on revenge, it would have to be over something very extreme, something like what you decribed wouldn't warrant the desire for revenge on my end. I would be more happy/content that the person was out of my life. The only time I would advocate revenge is if a person commited physical harm against someone, or even if they had the intent to. Although I don't think I could be the person to carry out the revenge, I guess that's where justice comes in.
SushiX Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Most people want what they can't have. This is why women like bad boys. It's the same for men. We don't realize or notice the good ones until it's too late. The sad part is they might get back with the good one once they've been dumped by the bad one. But they'll immediately go back to the bad one if they're given the chance. Most people rather love than be loved.

Today I am feeling happy, in a perverse way.I don't want to be a party pooper, but just because this guy didn't want to be with you doesn't mean he deserves to be unhappy. Imagine if you dated someone, then broke up with them - and now they think that you deserve to be miserable. Let it go. It's OK to be glad in your own pervert way, but to make it a universally accepted fact that he SHOULD be devastated enters a circle in which you are the center of the universe. You are not. We all reject and get rejected. Most people want what they can't have. Most people rather love than be loved.Very true, and the last thought you pointed out crossed my mind recently. We prefer to have drama, but live with passion than to be adored but feel indifferent. And apparently, we tend to feel indifferent when we GET what we want, especially if we got more than we expected.
prettybaby Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 I don't see how that's revenge. Revenge is harmful action against a person or group done for the purpose of responding to a real or perceived wrongdoing. In your case, you didn't actually do anything. He just happened to get dumped, and it makes you feel good. Good for you, I guess.
