I feel the need to add the ‘healthy’ right there in the title, because I understand the rage of some scorned women let loose on Google. Anyone who’s ever been cheated on knows the pain that betrayal can inflict.
But this is a healthy woman’s guide to getting her own back; no running him over, no burning his clothes, no laxatives in the coffee.
This is about moving past what he did to you, and moving on with your life – whilst teaching him an emotional lesson in the process.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been with him for one year or ten, these ten tips will help you move on – whilst punishing him a little of course.
The Punishments
1. Call your hottest male friend and tell him you need cheering up. Go out with him, forget the cheating rogue, and let your hair down. Incidentally, wear the hottest dress you can find and make sure that photographs end up on Facebook. Petty, but it works!
2. If he’s trying to contact you on Facebook or Twitter, categorically ignore each and every attempt. But continue to post your usual amount of cheery updates and photos.
3. Book a trip with the guy friend your man was jealous of. Go camping in the countryside, or backpacking in Costa Rica, and have an absolutely amazing time.
4. Step up your workout (or start) at the gym. Exercise releases endorphins, allows you to work your angry energy in a positive way
and you will look and feel great! When he sees photos of your new toned figure, he’ll be gutted he let you go.
5. Sell all the gifts he gave you. Use the money to buy something you’ve always wanted.
6. Invest in a new wardrobe and hair do. Chances are he thinks (or would like to think) that you’re moping around in your pjs, eating ice cream and crying. When you run into him in a killer new outfit, his ego will dissolve.
7. If you can bear to strip your boudoir, I would suggest getting rid of all the bedroom lingerie you associate with him. Go shopping and splurge on a whole new range of saucy silk lingerie that will make you feel like a goddess, and start looking forward to showing it off to a new man.
8. Try to contact the woman he cheated on you with, and ask her if she knew he was involved with someone. If she is a decent woman, she will show empathy and remorse. Who knows, maybe you could meet up one day; imagine his face if he were to walk into a cafe to find the two of you having lunch and laughing about him. Priceless.
These last two are slightly petty, but they are justified and will feel good.
9. Go to a posh private health clinic and get tested for all possible sexually transmitted diseases. Then send him the bill.
10. Redirect his post to his mother’s house. If she phones up to find out what’s going on, don’t get petulant and list all the things he did, but say in a very dignified and composed way, ‘he was unfaithful to me and consequently our relationship is now over’. As a woman, her compassion will be with you, and her darling son will never hear the end of it. Win.
Living well is the best revenge. If you become bitter and scornful, he will feel how important he was to you and that will flatter his ego; if you’re too angry and impulsive, it can make you look like the psycho ex.
Smile, move on with your life, and enjoy every moment you’ve gained back from him. He will soon realise what he’s lost.

Bin all his’s clothes
When I found out the ex cheated I put everything in a black bag including the dinner I cooked that night. I went down the bins got out all his rubbish, emptied his ashtrays and wraps into the black bag. Left it out the front door. Changed the locks. Revenge x
Personally I found kissing his new girlfriend who was bisexual did the trick
Hope I never have to use any of these but I would go out with a hot guy friend to the place the would-be cheat works x
Best one is wat mate told.me to do n thats put a little slit in the seam of a matress put a frozen fish in side then sew bck up give it a week or so.n it will stink like hell n will send him mad tryin to figure out were the smell is coming from
:-) xx
Omg I love these, lets hope I never have to use any but again why couldn’t this have been around last year would definitely have used some!
Ouch!
I’m not sure about the use of a “hot male friend” because he could also be in a relationship and you may well just be repeating the behaviour of said boyfriend!
I do like the more positive ideas- the best form of revenge is success!
I just hacked my exes email account and emailed every one including his parents saying the reason we split was because he ways gay
Hahaha this made me laugh
what good ideas! Parading another guy in our ex’s face is what we seem to do best though it seems but also seems to end up with us getting hurt even more 
damn it, men! Lol x
these are funny! best one i’ve seen was a woman putiing a for sale advert in a paper selling her cheating hubby!
these are actually really great ideas, something we should all pay attention too because they focus on you. personally i enjoyed selling items he bought and chucking his ipod and web cam in a full sink
I love all these tips, bt I still think I’d have to introduce his manhood to my cheesegrater.
Love the tips but I would cheese grate his bits lmao x
Love these tips..damn why didn’t I think of these when I found out my ex cheated..I just cut is new gfs trousers and tipped all her shampoos down sink lol..did move her in a week after we split! Was so angry and upset .as u can imagine..I should have done more lol x
Wish i did these when I found out my oh was cheating

xx
great post. I actually went down to the house of the tart my bloke cheated with. Confronted her because my bloke lied through his teeth. He went off head at me, maybe he shouldnt have lied to me
OMG some of these have made me LOL!!!
I wish I would have read these before I took all my stuff out of his house yesterday. That’s OK, I can’t wait to tell the woman he cheated on me with,that he could never resist my BJ’s and to thank her for allowing us some time on Friday night. Essentially he now cheated on her. Just needed a bit of revenge i guess. he is lieing to her too and I cannot wait to get over that he cheated on me. I know he is not worth it but 12 years of my life and a beautiful son makes it a bit difficult.
Haha love it! X
