Exactly. Write it down to get it out but delete it. Don't send it. Just makes OP look pathetic and bitter. Always remember, the best revenge is a life well lived ;)

Agreed. And OP, please for the of god, if you do choose to write down your feelings in order to help vent, do not actually type it to their number, Facebook, email, whatever. People do that and they somehow accidentally hit send and it causes way more drama than they meant to. Just type it in a note or actually write it down on paper.

I feel that when you get your anger out in situations like this it makes you look weak and almost like he has a power over you. Just wipe the tears, straighten your shoulders and keep your head up high... Also doesn't hurt to maybe delete his number and hide your phone for awhile.

Or emotional, since OP wasn't drunk

Someone hurt you in a major way and you don't want them to feel horrible too? You are a very selfless person.

Well 79, there's absolutely no point in it. Like others have said, you'll only come across bitter. Everyone should at least try to get their ex because pent up anger is not good! Especially when said angry person is feeling emotional on the subject and has access to their ex's phone number!

79 as much as I want to I can't do it. She was the love of my life but she hurt me so bad and left me and now I'm nothing to her. I couldn't ever do something horrible to the person I loved so much

Ah. I see your point now, thanks. Well at least you can pride yourself in that. Also I understand its pointless to have a go, I was just shocked by the comment as most of the time when someone makes me feel like shit I want to hi five their face.

That makes two of us dude. I loved my ex and one day she decides to just break up with me out of the blue and genuinely thought I wouldn't feel hurt. Now I've got the blame for being angry and I'm nothing to her.

Exactly! A few weeks after my ex dumped me for someone I thought was a friend, she dumped him, and he wrote some horrible long letter whining about his misery (it was really awful, full of awkward phrasing, misspellings, and misused words) with nothing about his role in the whole mess. Whatever. I typed out a few angry letters, writing and rewriting, trying to get the right tone, but my mom said the best response was no response, so I didn't reply. Part of me wishes I'd sent the letter back with all the red penciling of a horrified English teacher, but really, best not to respond AT ALL. It may be a cliche, but living well is the best revenge. Move on, don't let the jerk take up too much space in your head (although I know kicking him out is easier said than done and usually has to be done repeatedly), and find someone better. I know you were emotionally distraught, OP, but YDI for doing this. Let it go. Let him go. It's over and done with.

Catharsis sounds like the name of a Greek broad.

Better than James, it's Kobe you nitwit.
