Mine was an act of vengance. I'm not proud of it but it's in my past ...

I was about 22 years old ... and found out that my gf was cheating on me. I never confront her with it, but I was simply amazed that she acted as if everything was fine in our relationship. She would cancel dates with me at the last minute to see this other guy. She went out of her way to keep me in "play" even though I gave her a couple of opportunities to break up. We never even fought and she was always showering me with affection ... but she still saw this other guy at least twice per week.

I didn't tell her what I knew. I found out only because one of her best friends warned me one day since she happened to be an even better friend of mine.

OK. What follows is embarrasing to admit since it represents my low point in pettiness and malice. But I was young and jealous ... and pissed.

I obtained my ex-gf's remote answering machine code (I won't say how but it's surprisingly easy on some phones) and started listening to her messages when I she was at work (we worked at the same place). I learned a lot about the other guy. I gathered information for over a month (while she was still "my gf") and pretended to be the "stupid, clueless" bf.

BTW I also discovered that her platonic work-buddy (who was my work colleague) was actually her "fuck-buddy." Evidently she also liked to tell him intimate details about us. Now I knew why he always had a smarmy attitude towards me when I started dating her.

The new guy she was seeing was a wealthy married man. I engineered a series "events" that got the other guy to mistrust her, loathe her and finally "dump" her - without her knowing why. She came to work in tears and told me she was sad because an "old friend" was mad at her.

Of course she wasn't cancelling dates with me anymore ... this time I was the one who cancelled and eventually ignored her entirely without confronting her at all or giving her a reason other than I had just lost interest.

I wasn't mad at my colleague, the smarmy "fuck buddy." He was never my friend so I didn't really feel betrayed by him. I'd just smile back at him at work.

I'm ashamed of that act because it was a petty, malicious thing to do. Today I'd just walk away without looking back. Life is too short to play stupid games like that.
