vindication, at last

[Martine Kruk]

I'm using a friend's acount to post this: I am, in fact, not Martine
Kruk, but a man.

It was just over seven years ago that she left me for the other man.
And mostly, I've moved on with my life: indeed, until last week, I
hadn't seen my ex-wife or that man for well over six years. A week
ago, I saw him at Starbucks -- and was expecting to see him with my ex-
wife, which would have made me uncomfortable even after, or especially
after, all these years. But no, he was with my ex: he was some other,
much younger, woman. The two of them were very familiar indeed: eating
off each other's plates, sharing a coffee from the same cup, etc. Even
after all these years, it was a pleasure to think he did to my ex what
she had done to me.

Your scenario certainly smacks of irony. You are presuming, of course,
that the other man is no longer with your ex! He could very well still
be with her, and cheating with his little cookie on the side.

One can only hope that she has learned her lesson. (don't count on
it).

The worst is, in a situation like this, it is bittersweet. This is a
lady you once loved, and who betrayed you. It is sad to think that
someone you once loved has to endure the pain. Then again, what goes
around comes around.

I don't think of it as revenge so much as karma! The only solace in it
all is that your ex is truly the author of her own misfortune. You did
nothing to push her in the direction she freely and willingly chose.

There was a time - much closer to the separation / divorce - when I
would have relished such a situation about my ex. But this far out, I
pray only for my ex - that she might learn and understand how abusinve
she was to me. I don't wish ill will any more. Life is tough enough
and busy enough without holding on to hate. Hating her only hurts me
so it would be a self defeating behaviour.
