Why Divorcing Women Seek Revenge

Reader Comments

Back to blog

I believe a person seeks revenge when they feel the person is not really sincere about the harm they have caused. Normally, a spouse (male) will say they are sorry about what harm they have caused their wife in an affair. The words are normally spoken however,the display in his actions normally reveals he is not because, they continue to keep doing the same act.

Most women react negatively when the man moves on to other women, buys a boat, and just no loner pursues her. What did she expect? She divorced him. Generally the man also pursues his career/job and doubles his income.

My neighbor was in the process of getting a divorce from her husband. She mentioned to me that she was thrilled to be getting a divorce. Actually she laughed about it since her lawyer got her what she wanted in alimony. Then the woman seeked revenge on her neighbor and child since they were still married. It enraged the divorced woman so much. I don't understand that divorce woman. She was a bit weird. In this case, the divorce affected the woman differently.

I laughed really hard when my husband left me because he couldn't take my dirty, nasty, and manipulating ways. I certainly had such a huge laugh. I'm still laughing. My lawyer sank him and I took him and his paycheck to the cleaners. I was awarded $20,000 a year plus I got the whole stinkin bank account. He walked out of the marriage completely broke, penniless and homeless. Like I said I'm still laughing. I won!!! Ha ... Ha ... Ha... I'll laugh like that until he kicks the bucket, croaks, drops dead, etc.

Marriage is a mental institution in it self. I was single until the age of 35 when on July 26 I said "I DO." I was happily employed, a great job and a steady and healthy paycheck, and a nice house I shared with my mother and a lovely golden retriever. Then "BANG" a man I had been seeing on and off decided that we should be joined in holy matrimony. As my mother said: "the love bug took a huge bite out of me and my emotions are running too high and that I should take some time to seriously think this over." Well ... my mother was right. I jumped into the pool with a foot of water and when I woke up out of the "dream" I had the biggest headache ever!!! The love bug bit and I was sore. I woke up one day and discovered I was pregnant. The rest is history. If you must marry, do so. If you don't must (like in my case, if I had taken my mother's advice) for heaven's sake DON'T!!! Single life may be lonely at times, however, it sure beats being tied down with a man, his dirty and stinky laundry and his crying jigs. As for my child, she's lovely! I couldn't ask for a nicer, sweeter, extremely smart, and she tells it like it is. She doesn't hold anything back. I'm happy with that part of the story. I tell my child don't get married. You'll be sorry. We'll soon see if history will repeat itself. God, I hope not!!!

Thanks for letting me share. Great subject!!!

I seeked revenge on a woman because I wanted to see another woman and her child. I wanted them to feel pain. I laughed when my husband left me and I laughed harder when the woman and her child were ostracized in the same school that my daughter was attending. I finally won. It felt really good to win. I hate the woman and her child because they don't deserve to have happiness. I can influence and turn people to see my point of view and I wrap them around my little pinky finger. I have accomplished this with everyone I meet. I have Sherry Figurny, Allyssa Phillips, Jen Graziano to further thank for this because they are the same way. My new friend Regina listens to me and does exactly like me. So I win and have more friends then that woman and her child. I believe in quanity and I am extremely competitive.

I believe most of the women who leave their husband, are in a kind of depression, but at the same time they are more revengeful than men are. I have my personal experience where my spouse did not let me to see or speak to my kids for two years, and they have not come and stayed with me in five years. I married again and unfortunatley my second spouse did the same thing , is away from me for two years and did not let me see or meet my 2 years old daughter .

Both the case, i provided them the best possible life, and this is what they gave me in return. I ado not smoke do not drink and a very streight forward person, yet they left me and treating me like a trash.
