Getting revenge doesn't benefit either parties, if they were bad to you, you are wasting more time on that person, the world is your oyster, go and find happiness with the right people you can call family :)

Getting revenge doesn't help in anyway. It may give temporary satisfaction but it really just brings more pain to the situation. I think the best thing to do is let go of bitterness, even though it will take time, and move on without your ex. Build a better life and become independent and happy without them.

There is nothing called revenge. The more you waste your energy to take revenge more you will be on negative side and thing about her constantly. The best way is stop thinking about revenge and about her completely.. It will give you peace and energy to invest into some productive things Cheers!!.

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.

Well! For a start, revenge isn't something you should do, even if we have an urge to do it sometimes, a feeling that consumes us, it is tempting, I won't deny, but it is not right. If you want to get revenge on an ex? Well, the best way, is to be happy with someone else, someone better than him/she, if your ex misses you, or still wants you, they'll be affected in a psychological way, with a bigger pain than any other revenge plan you could try to do. So yes, be happy with someone that really deserves you, and your ex will go crazy. Stay happy beautiful human!

The best kind of revenge for an ex is not about him at all, but about you! Focus on yourself and do whatever makes you happiest.

Revenge is not the best path to take. If you are continuing to have problems with an ex, then it would be best to simply talk to them about it in hopes of resolving the issues at hand.

Is getting revenge something, that you want, does it help you in any way? Or is it maybe better to show strength and stand over this, just to be a better person?

Be happy. Forget your ex even existed. Always look forward, not back, and make the most of every opportunity you see.

Revenge is never the answer. You should try to move on from this person and live your life to the fullest.

You don't get revenge. You show your ex that you're happy without them because you are. You're much better than what they say you are and if you two broke up, it's because you both need to find yourselves before you find one another.

To get over them and move on. They can be mad, but they will not effect my life. The best revenge I can do, is to let them see that I don't need them.

The best way to take revenge is to just forget them and move on in your life. To stop thinking about exes actually helps a lot.

There is no best way for revenge as revenge always leads to something bad or worst. Just find your happiness and let him feel curious as to why you are happy.

I wouldn't recommend getting revenge. Because of this actual fact called Karma. When you generate cause you get reaction. I say the best revenge is to let them see you happy. Showing them that you don't need them to be happy and enjoy life

By being happy with out that person. That's the best way. Why do something back to them. They would hate to see you being a lot more happier with out them.

Revenge is something that hurts the person trying to do it more than the person it is done to. If you really want to stick it to an ex, move forward and live a positive life void of any bad memories of that person.

It's best to not want revenge or feel any anger. No matter what, you should always try to let go of anger, sadness and depression cause by failed relationship. You can talk it out with a friend or an adult you trust and release the anger by yelling outside.

Be happy, go out there and live your life. There is no better revenge than for you to show that you're doing extremely well without your ex.

I understand your frustration, and need of revenge, but you shouldn't; just be respectful and please don't take your heartbreak out on your ex. Revenge isn't the way, but I understand your trouble and need to get back at somebody...We all get it sometimes.
