Be happy and move on. To harbour hate or pain just lets them still be in control of you. Let them go and be kind to yourself.

Revenge is not good thing. Be better then he/she was, put your head up and show how much better you are then him/her!

To move on with all of your heart... Because, in life no negative feeling or resntment against another can help you feel better.

Be the best you, you can be. Use it as motivation but dont make you ex the reason why. What are somethings you want to achieve? achieve them? volunteer or help someone out or kick ass in your exams focus on YOU! The worst is when your ex is doing better than you emotionally, educationally or any other aspect. Focus on yourself and your energy and good things will come, eventually you won't even care about them... hope this helps

The best revenge is showing them you can be happy without them. We all want to show him or her what they are missing.

I believe that the best revenge you can get on an ex is loving yourself and bettering your own life. Basically just moving forward.

I personally believe the best way to get revenge on an ex, is showing them you don't care. When my fist ex boyfriend hurt me (4 years ago), I was upset for a few weeks, then as soon as I started posting my progress in life and I posted pictures where I was happy, he came crawling back, and I said no. And best part of it was/is, he's still trying to get me.

Move on. Show him/her you can do better, that you're happy - possibly happier than you were with him. That's the best revenge you can do. Show him/her that you can live without him/her. Don't brag it to him/her, but just live your life. Let him/her be the one to see it. Let him/her witness your change. Let him/her mumble to him/herself, "Dang, I let that precious person go."

Live your life. Actually don't just live your life, thrive in it. Have a fun, fulfilling life and don't pay any mind to your ex, they aren't important anymore, especially if they did something so bad that you feel the need to get revenge. Your future success and happiness will show them that they lost someone amazing :)

The best revenge is to let them go. Let them go without a fuss or struggle. It is the best option for you in the long run

Live life the best way possible. Don't get mad, get happy and live your life in a way that doesn't involve your ex at all.

Revenge can often leave the revenger feeling as bad as the revengee. It takes far more effort to actively hate someone than not. Don't worry about them. Focus on your own happiness, and not other's misfortune.

The best type of revenge in anycase is to make yourself a better person and live a happy life. To wish all the people who hate you a very good luck. To smile and move on!

Revenge is a word similar to Boomerang! It's like hurting back! If your EX is the source cause the possible freedom could be Moving ashed. We can't change the past! But we can change the Present and there by future too!

Don't do it! Revenge behavior indicates ego defensiveness and lack of ability to accept loss. Goodbye means goodbye.

To move on and keep yourself happy. Revenge will only make you feel worse in the long run, whereas showing an ex that you have moved on peacefully and are still happy in your life.. now that's revenge!

Move on and be happy. Have a life and don't ever think of him/her again. Find happiness and smile every day. When he/her sees you, this will be enough.. To see what is lost is ultimate punishment.

Living well is the best revenge, but we can't help but fantasize about whipping out methods on an ex.

I dont think you have to get revenge from a ex, but the best way is to ignore him and be happy. VERY HAPPY!

Revenge is never the answer. It may seem like getting even with that person is the only way to feel better, but in most cases it's usually the opposite. It may seem strange, but the only real option is to forgive them. It may be hard to do, but in the end you'll be a better abd wiser person because of it. Not to mention you will feel much better.

Moving on. Yes, that's the best possible revenge that you get on your ex. I know people try to do crazy things at time just to hurt them but it's pathetic and shows that you cannot get him/her out of your mind. So best possible way for a revenge is to move on. Make them realize how strong you are and how their existence doesn't affects your survival. Believe me, it works :)
