The morning after a bad breakup you might find yourself wondering how to get even with your ex.
It is a tempting thought.
In fact, it can be the one thought that gets you through some of the rougher moments immediately following a breakup.
The problem isn't with thinking up ways how to get even with your ex but when you cross over from thinking to doing.
If you are holding out even the slightest hope of getting back together then revenge will end any shot you have.
It is very important that you think long and hard before you decide to go for revenge or try to get even.
Learn from the mistakes of so many others before you and don't repeat them.
Take Shelly for example.
She couldn't see straight for the pain of her breakup.
She certainly wasn't thinking clearly.
All she could focus on was a desire to lash out and cause her ex the same pain he caused her.
She spent quite a few sleepless nights dreaming up various revenge plots and scenarios.
One day she came up with one that was not only plausible but that she felt confident she could pull off.
Can you guess what happened next? Shelly got her revenge.
But it didn't help at all.
She was still heartbroken and she had just managed to hurt the person she loved.
Shelly felt about two inches tall and had ruined, in one single night, any positive emotion that Roger was hanging onto about their relationship.
There was no hope for getting back together now.
Don't waste time trying to figure out how to get even with your ex.
Invest your time and energy on positive thoughts that involve how to win back your ex.
