Revenge against a cheater!!!

My friends boyfriend recently cheated on her. She taped him crying, begging and confessing and put it on youtube and it went viral before it was taken down. Now everybody know what kind of guy he is where we live.

Do you think she was in the wrong doing it? Have you ever taken revenge on a cheater?

My gut feeling is that most people would not condone what she did, but personally I could watch people getting revenge on cheaters all day.

    Yes but it was a comment not a question. I thought you answered one of the questions in bold in my original post.

    But then I understand you. :p And even if I literally would not watch it all day, I do in fact enjoy it!

    The cheater may be better punished by the victim keeping their dignity rather than seeking revenge.

    That is true.

    Something like this could temporarily make anyone bitter, hateful and unstable enough to lose their dignity though. They were together for a long time.

    Some people just need to learn to suck it up and move on as self pity is so unnecessary!

    Thing is everyone now knows she is the kind of vengeful woman who will stop at nothing to get revenge. How many men really want to date a bunny boiler ?

    I think she's shot herself well and truly in the foot.

    She is a good person. Vengeful woman? She was hurt, sad and hateful at the moment yes but who would not be?

    I do not consider myself a feminist but I really think people will judge a woman doing something like this differently though. A guy would get more pats on his back if he did something similar.

    No I'd think a guy putting the video on youtube was equally loathesome.

    Nothing to do with feminism - everything to do with decency.

    Just because he behaved baby doesn't mean two wrongs make a right .......and long after people forget he's the bloke who played away - she'll be the girl who put up a video of her bloke crying and begging her to have him back.
    May not be fair - but that is what will happen !

    She may have made a show of him at his worst moments on youtube but she also displayed herself at her angriest and hateful too - and people will remember both. Her moreso because women don't usually show that side of their personality so publicly

    A cheating bloke ........not the first time people have heard of that

    A ball breaking woman out for public revenge - a little more unusual so more memorable..

    People will judge them differently - no matter how unfair that is !

    The best revenge on a cheater is to leave them and have a happy life without them.

    I have no sympathy for the bloke - but I honestly think she made a huge mistake that will come back to bite her on the bum repeatedly.

    Revenge is a dish best served cold (when you've had the time to weigh up the consequences first)
