Grrr... (the ex-Mrs. Robb rears her cheatin' head)

[Robb]

Grumble. :eyes:

So I'm bangin' away at two jobs just to keep afloat. The ex decides to drop me an email, as far as I can tell just to let me know she's quitting her $80K/year job to "hang out" for a few months (presumably with the homewrecker... :eyes: ) before heading off for some other, equally-overpaid position.

On the plus side, it's in another state. On the minus, it appears karma is taking its sweet time on her accounting.

I was, as ever, noncommittal yet pleasant in a "well, good for you then" reply email. Never been sorry that I held back on calling someone to the mat, but sometimes the zenmastery is indeed a test.

The best revenge is living well, I know, I know. But still.

Am I a bad person for resenting her apparent success?

Or only merely human?




Ach. :eyes:

[Kahuna]

1. Just human, my friend..

:hug:

[Birthmark]

2. All too human

My advice: Forget her. It's easier than you think.

[roguevalley]

3. no. if you didn't, you would be unusual. her time is coming. Hang

in there. looking good and living well, however that means to you, is the best revenge.

[Bouncy Ball]

4. Human.

Very, very human.

Oh I'm a big believer in karma, too. But she might not get her cosmic comeuppance for many, many years.

Personally, what I do when I'm feeling this way is I imagine the person having a horrible, CRIPPLING case of diarrhea. Bad enough to make them cry and gasp "MOMMY!" Then I smile and feel better.

[GOPisEvil]

5. Yeah, but has she SEEN your ski instructor?

;-)

[Robb]

6. LOL!

Ah, GOPisEvil, where would I be without ya? :D

...and the answer is yes, and no doubt it has driven her to many countless sleepless nights, doubt leading to despair over the wreck that has become her life, and the terrible, terrible mistake she made.

And all the fun I'm having. :P




...Still wish I made that kinda bread, tho'. ;)

[GOPisEvil]

9. Yeah, but I'd rather be in your place.

You're richer in the ways that really count.

And you have a hot girlfriend, too. ;-)

[autorank]

7. what are you supposed to be a f'ing monk? resent away, ruminate

not for too long but the 'cheatin' part of the message caught my eye. once you've done this, maybe you can tell your ex how you really feel and you'll get along better with yourself. who cares about "the cheat"

[noiretextatique]

8. acknowledging your feelings

while being civil to her is quite zen-like, imho. now...live well :hi:

[fluffernutter]

10. i have a feeling karma will get her soon.

that braggy bitchy email just put her over the top ;)

hang in there - sounds like you have a bright spot on the ski slopes :bounce:

[mitchtv]

11. Whatta man! all that class and brains too

:hug: Female DU ers , don't let him get away

[greatauntoftriplets]

12. What goes around....comes around.

I keep telling myself that (for another reason) but I hope it is true for you.

[Bucky]

13. Another spiritual truth I despise

But it's still a truth. The people you loath the most are your teachers. Seriously, your anger holds a lesson for you.

But I know it sucks that it doesn't come in a nicer package.

[Supormom]

14. Karma? I have given up on karma thanks to the bushies.

Where is their karma?

[mopinko]

15. human or

just a guy?

[Robb]

18. Now wait just a minute there!

What-choo mean by that?!? :D

[mopinko]

21. proven fact

males are more touchy about infidelity than females. very interesting subject, actually. i love evolutionary psychology.
read "the moral animal" by robert wright. anyone who believes in evolution ought to take a look at what that says about who we are, and how we think. he has a new book that i will be starting soon. called "non-zero" can't wait.

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. You know what?

It doesn't even feel good when karma works in your favor. Trust me on this.

The truth is, you know she's miserable. The money doesn't solve anything. But, and this is important, she's not really miserable about you. She's just miserable. And maybe that hurts even more.

Of course, maybe I'm just projecting here... :-)

17. Human, sweets *hugs*

19. Karma accepts late payments, but the interest on it is a b*****!

She'll get hers, eventually.

[Debbi801]

20. Perfectly Human...

I've been there, and I get so tired of hearing "He'll get his" or "What goes around comes around." My ex was a total SOB. Cheated on me from the very beginning, not to mention abusive. I finally took the kids and left.

He's since gone through 2 other relationships where he's repeated the same patterns of cheating and abuse. And yet, I'm the one struggling to stay afloat while he continuously comes out smelling like a rose. It sucks.

Okay, I'm done whining. Just remind yourself that you're in a better place.

*smiles*

22. Hang in there, my Friend. I'm in the same boat.

The sweetest revenge is in continuing to live.
