I was on a date when I met my ex-fiance, who broke up with me because I “wasn’t good enough.” Getting even was difficult.
My name is Nikki, and now I would want to tell you a tale about how karma occasionally needs a gentle prod. When I saw my ex-fiance, Mark, in a fancy restaurant with another woman, I couldn’t help but transform a normal night into the ideal occasion for retaliation.
Five years prior, Mark had called off our engagement, saying that I “wasn’t good enough” following his promotion and that he was looking for someone more refined. I moved on with my life despite the pain.
Let’s go back to last Saturday. Now thirty-five, single and prosperous, Mark was dining at a brand-new eatery. This seemed like the ideal opportunity for a little practical joke. I asked the waiter to bring me a bottle of champagne and write “To Mark, who never does anything better than the second best.” Mark’s face flushed as his date appeared perplexed.
I sent him an appetizer knowing he was allergic to them and sent a note explaining what he couldn’t have. Mark found it difficult to convey this to his progressively agitated date.
I gave my pal Sarah a call for the big reveal. “How’s your fiancée doing?” she inquired loudly, pretending to recognize Mark. Has she finally consented to a relationship that is open? Mark’s date, Clara, was appalled and stormed out.
I couldn’t help but walk over to Mark’s table and grin sweetly. I said, “Hello, Mark. I guess I wasn’t so ‘not good enough’ after all,” and I left the restaurant with a victorious feeling.
A few days later, I found out that Clara and Mark were no longer together. Yes, getting even may be enjoyable, particularly if it entails a small amount of humiliation. I appreciate you reading!
