f you’ve ever been a betrayed spouse, then you may have, at some
point, considered revenge for the affair. Even if it’s just a daydream
about what you’d like to have happen to the other man or woman your
spouse has been cheating with, fantasies of revenge are really common.
In my opinion, these are nothing to worry about and you shouldn’t
feel guilty. Just because you fantasize about something awful happening
to them, that doesn’t mean you really want it to. It’s more likely just a
way for you to process your emotions.
Some betrayed spouses do things that may seem vengeful, but
oftentimes, they are simply trying to protect themselves from further
hurt. Some tell the other man or woman’s family about the affair ( and
if they are also married, they may tell their spouses). If it’s a
workplace affair, they may tell the employer. Some feel a need to tell
everyone what happened, and some may go as far as to leave a scathing
remark about the affair on the other man or woman’s Facebook wall.
To me, these are all okay, and while they may not have the desired effect, they are nothing to feel bad about.
It’s when revenge goes too far that there is a problem.
such behvaior could mean:
stalking behvaior
physical assault
slander
These will harm you more than they ever will the other man or woman.
If you feel that you are leaning in that direction in more than just
daydreams,then seek professional help from a counselor, etc.
Perhaps the best revenge is to make your marriage, and the rest of your life, a great one
