Betrayal has a way of turning even the most level-headed people into vengeful masterminds.

When one woman discovered her husband’s affair, she resisted the urge to go nuclear.

But that didn’t mean she wasn’t prepared make his life a whole lot more inconvenient.

You’ll want to read on for this one!

That time I let The Devil win

I got divorced a few years ago after catching my husband of six years cheating with another woman.

Although we are amicably not in contact now (no children, fortunately), it was ugly at first.

She contemplated doing the worst things imaginable to get back at the person who hurt her.

There’s probably nothing harder to go through in a relationship than betrayal.

Those of us who have been through it can attest that revenge fantasies can become all-consuming after finding out that the love of your life, who promised to always be faithful, has been messing around in his car after work.

It really gives you the ick.

But then therapy helped her figure out a better way to channel her emotions.

Anyway, I was seeing a therapist at the time, so I had help redirecting my worst impulses.

And frankly, I have a job, a reputation, and good friends and family, so doing anything super crazy was never on the menu.

That’s not really my style.

But she wasn’t going to let him totally off the hook.

But I did do something petty that, although I’m not proud of, I do think might give some of you a chuckle.

The person my husband was cheating with was one of his coworkers.

He’d worked at his job for several years, I’d met this woman at holiday parties, and because of this, I had access to her phone number.

After confronting him and fighting about it and all that nonsense, the one revenge fantasy I gave into was this: I systematically signed them both up for dozens and dozens of unwanted marketing texts from every random place I could find.

There was no limits to what she would sign them up for!

Political parties, HVAC companies, realtors, car dealers, fast food restaurants, nonprofits, radio stations, public health organizations, weather alerts, news sites, petitions, online retailers — if it had a “sign up for text alerts” form on the website, my husband and his girlfriend got signed up!

He confirmed this was tough to deal with, which gave her all the satisfaction she needed.

Later on in the divorce, when things had cooled down, he told me it was incredibly annoying and took them a couple of weeks to unsubscribe from all of them.

We all have the proverbial devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other.

This time, I let the devil win.

Revenge wasn’t just sweet — it was relentless.

Reddit is sure to get a kick out of this one.

You never realize how much you depend on remotes until they all magically vanish.

All things considered, this revenge is still pretty tame.

Any lingering feelings of resentment can be swiftly handled by signing them up for a few more spam lists!

He may have gotten away with the affair, but this woman was determined to show him it didn’t come without consequences.

Karma works in mysterious (and highly inconvenient) ways!
