Sometimes, closure comes only after taking revenge on a cheating spouse.

This woman heard that her ex-husband and his new partner got engaged.

So she decided to have her own quiet moment of revenge online.

Read the full story below for all the details.

Cheating ex and his affair partner (gone “legit) and appear to be betrothed

My ex-husband and I were together for 17 years, married for 12, and have 1 child.

Our kid was 9 when we got divorced, and 11 now.

He’d been having an affair for over 2 years with one of his (college) students.

She was also a student worker under him in his department.

He’s 11 years older than her.

This woman confronted her husband after discovering their affair.

They’d gone on vacations together.

I discovered their affair when she posted vacation pictures of him on Instagram.

I confronted him with the evidence (which he denied were him for 3 days—silly me, believing my lyin’ eyes!).

Then, he informed me he was in love with her.

He moved in with her (they live two states away) and basically dipped out on all parenting responsibilities.

She heard that they may be engaged.

I recently discovered that they may be engaged.

This was to be expected, as they moved in together months before we were even divorced.

And the week of our daughter’s birthday, no less.

Good for them. They deserve each other.

She thought of a petty revenge to get back at the other woman.

However, I know her current email address (firstname.lastname@gmail.com).

And I have no clue if she’s planning to change her name if they do get married.

But because I am a jerk, I took it upon myself to create an email account using the same format but with my ex’s last name.

That way, in the event she does get married and change her name, she won’t be able to make that email address.

She’s happy knowing that her ex’s new partner couldn’t get the email address with her new name.

Sure, there are plenty of other options, but I do enjoy knowing that that one is taken.

I don’t have a backup email or phone number linked to it.

So if she tries to dig into who the owner of the account is by clicking “forgot password,” it’s not going to give her any recovery info.

Let’s find out what others have to say about this.

This is beautifully petty, says this one.
