    You can kind of see why he cheated on her in the first place....what a bunny boiler.

    Bit harsh. I don't agree with what she's done at all, and think she may well come to regret it. But you're not thinking straight when you find out you've been betrayed like this. Worst feeling I've ever had.

    Although I think cheating is loathesome, I don't think this was the right way to handle it.
    I was cheated on. Kept a dignified silence and just cut off contact with the man. Later found out that the bloke who cheated on me got together with the other woman, who then cheated on him!!!

    In the meantime I met someone wonderful and got married.


    The universe has a subtle way of working itself out, no need for dramatics or shaming people.

    Revenge is about hurting someone back the way they've hurt you. It rarely works, at least not when done in a heated moment.

    I expect most of the people who looked at it didn't think anything of it, or even if they did they had a laugh for 2 seconds and then forgot about it. They probably laughed as much as the girlfriend.

    I agree that the best way to get revenge is to go on with dignity. It might not have the intended effect right away, but anyone who cares a iota for someone will get their pride hurt that the person they cheated on was able to move on so easily.

    I can imagine, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm not condoning it, but if that's how she behaves in general, then you can kinda see why. I can't imagine a normally sane person doing something like that?

    You hear about the usual revenge methods like keys down the side of the car, cutting up clothes etc, but to publicly humiliate someone like that is a new low. Same as revenge !!!!!! etc. it's a pretty stupid thing to do and can ruin people's lives.

    I have been cheated on in the past, but I think that what the OP's friend did was utterly despicable. Completely unacceptable and very, very cruel.

    Personally, if it was bad and I wanted to get back at him, I would have taken the revenge of, say, a well-concealed prawn in his house (the curtain linings or hidden in the airing coupboard are good places). This is cruel, and will affect him (after a while), but at least he has not been exposed to the embarrassment in a very public arena in a manner from which he may never recover.

    She is a good person. Vengeful woman? She was hurt, sad and hateful at the moment yes but who would not be?
    She may have been hurt but as the old saying goes... two wrongs don't make a right.

    It's the perfect crime!

    My friend was cheated on once. Her way of getting revenge was acting like nothing had happened, took him upstairs for a bit of fun and promptly bit him where it counted!

    Not condoning that, but same as above, was cruel and would affect him..

    You wouldn't believe some of the ideas I thought up. Fortunately I didn't carry any of them out! I'd consider myself a 'normal sane person' (whatever that is!) but I spent many nights thinking about smashing his windscreen, calling her employers and making false accusations, punching the living daylights out of the pair of them etc.

    Like I say, I didn't do any of that! But the desire to make them hurt can be pretty strong!

    That's awful! being cheated on is bad - but the world and his wife don't have to know about it do they? I think that was a horrible thing to do, and frankly, if your friend is as spiteful and vindictive enough to do that - I am not surprised she got cheated on.

    I can imagine. I also imagine I'd think up a few good ones myself! I believe there are cunning and intelligent ways which would be highly effective without having to resort to the levels described in the OP. Regardless of what someone does, I think releasing a video for the world to see is truely nasty.
