It seems like the replies here focus on either moving on, or performing some sort of revenge to show her how much trouble you have with her conduct.
I disagree with the “moving on” advice until you take some action. It’s just like Tony Soprano said, “There have to be consequences”.
Also, I don’t agree that she has to know who caused it or why she is unhappy. Like a friend of mine told me in law school…
“The real art of fucking with somebody is when they don’t know that you are fucking with them…they just know that they’re not happy”.
Also, heed Monk’s advice, she can really fuck with you in return if she knows you are the culprit. I mean it…family, job, the law, everything.
Attack like a shark, from behind and below, and then move away to let your prey die in slow, solo agony.
Someone mentioned giving her property away - bad idea - she can sue you in court for reimbursement for wrongful conversion of her property - you’d have to reimburse her for the value of her property.
Whether or not there is a criminal statute you would violate by leaving her in BFE…I do not know. However, she might have civil remedies. Specically, she could sue you for intentional infliction of emotional distress. I mean, truthfully, that’s precisely what you wanted to do to her, isn’t it, cause emotional distress?
Make the punishment fit the crime…it must be justified. I reason it as follows…
She took from you to gain something of value…precisely, she gained her happiness in a new relationship. The only logical revenge is to take that happiness of hers away. How is this done? End her relationship with her boyfriend.
A Texas attorney once told me, “Trust is a fragile teacup…once broken is it is almost impossible to repair”. Convince him that she has other new boyfriends and is cheating on him too. As they say in the south, “A dog that will bring a bone, will take a bone too”. The damage will be done and their paradise will be over.
Once the new relationship ends…and most do anyway…more than 50% of all marriages end in divorce, and I’d wager that 80% or better of all relationships break up and never even lead to marriage…you can then call her, or wait for her to call to see how things turned out. But don’t take her back. She’s damaged goods and will stray from the fold again. Just openly sympathize with her for being such a pitiful creature unable to sustain a healthy relationship…unlike the rest of her friends who can…it will drive her mad.
She used you like a stepping stone to reach for a higher limb in the tree…break that limb off and let her land on her ass where she belongs.
On a lighter note, before I left on my current trip, I was tempted to tattoo the letters HIV on one butt cheek and POS on the other butt cheek of my girlfriend’s ass. That’s one way to encourage fidelity.
Well, that’s my humble and jaded opinion. I hope I didn’t alienate anyone in my favorite forum with my methods. But I’d rather be a prick than a doormat.
Time to feed the bulldog.
