Woman gets revenge, turns cheating ex into a local ad for their gym.
Few things are better than deserved revenge on a cheating partner.
When one woman found out her longterm partner has been cheating on her with a married woman, she went public in a major way. And shared her story on Reddit.
My ex cheated with a married woman, so I turned a pic of them into an ad.
My ex (lets call him Joe) and I had been together about 5 years or so, and it got rough after I had to deal with cervical cancer followed by covid and complications. I tried to get us into counseling, but I was the only one who went. The counselor kept suggesting we talk and do things together. Instead, he'd go and do these things with this coworker couple.
Eventually, he started just hanging out with the wife (Karen), not the husband (Patrick), and it didn't take long for me to catch on that there was cheating, so I left and moved out. I worked at a gym, and Joe and karen would go work out together regularly.
I snapped a picture of them while they were there showing a little PDA. When people sign up at our gym, they sign a waiver stating that we can snap pics of them on the gym floor for our social media platforms. So, I posted it, shared it for Valentine's Day for our couples special, and made it an ad to run locally.
Well, Patrick saw the ad. He showed up at my Joe's house, raising hell, dumping Karen's stuff out of the back of his truck into Joe's lawn and telling him that he could keep her. So, now Joe is panicking because his boss is angry that the whole situation is happening and they're losing 2 staff members.
His boss also happens to be his landlord. On top of that, Joe didn't want to be in a relationship, much less live with anyone, so he made Karen get her stuff and try to find a place to stay.
Joe texted me and asked if I would let her stay in my spare bedroom (he never realized that I'd put the ad up), and of course, I just left him on read. I don't know exactly what happened after that, except that Karen moved back in with Patrick again for a bit, then to Joe's house, and apparently brought her 20-year-old daughter with her to his house to live with them.
The post blew up with people weighing in on this cheating revenge.
Congratulations OP. Karma didn‘t need to do anything, you already did the job perfectly!
Way to go OP!!! And sorry for your health problems I hope you have a great recovery and you find a wonderful man that deserves you
Nothing like revenge on a cheating partner. The best part is, you were the karma that they both deserved.
That’s some epic revenge right there. You totally exposed their cheating and made them pay for it. I’m sorry you had to go through cervical cancer and covid, but you’re a strong and awesome person. Don’t let them get you down. You deserve better than Joe and Jane. They’re trash and you’re gold. Keep shining, bro.
The OP commented to clarify.
He didn't know that I knew they'd been cheating on me. I didn't call him out. He had become an alcoholic at that point, and I didn't want to risk physical violence just to say 'I know, and I'm gone.' So I just packed up and called it quits.
Her addition sparked more adulation from commenters.
This is probably the best, most effective, most efficient revenge I've ever heard about. And to top it off that he doesn't have a clue? Beautiful, simply beautiful.
Damn, Cobra Kai, sweep the leg not decapitate the body. Stone cold killer stuff here. I love it. Happy Valentine's day!
The nerve! Even if he didn’t think you knew, the fact that he asked you to house the married woman that he cheated on you with is so outrageous. It’s mind boggling that someone has such a lack of shame.
This is hilarious though, that he didn’t know that you knew, much less that you were responsible for the ad.
Question though: he must have known that you worked at that gym — why would he openly perform PDA in front of you? Wouldn’t he want to hide that from you, considering that you would recognize Karen and put it all together?
I guess he really does have no shame, or he’s an idiot. Or both.
I can't get over the fact that ex was going to the gym where OP worked with the woman he cheated on her with and making out on the gym floor.
The OP returned back to explain here as well.
The pda was after we'd split up. I'd never confronted him for any of the other things he'd done up to that point, so I believe he felt a false sense of security that I'd turn a blind eye to that as well, since it wasn't like I was friends with her or her husband.
