Was on the dreaded facebook last night when I notice that my Ex (bad break up and owed me lots of money) has emailed me to say hello... She is back on talking terms and quite pleasant... very strange me thinks!! she then collars me on that chat thing...

Then I find out that she has lost her job, got nothing to do, run out of money in London (buying 2 pairs of shoes at £600 each wasnt the great idea she thought it was), no prospects as to getting a new job as she had only done the job she lost as a new person (like a graduate but older) and was doing management consulting at one of the big firms and had only done it for 18 months so noone wants to hire her.

To cap it all off, she is having to move back to France to try and get a low paid job over there, doing something but she doesnt know what.

I hate to admit it that I was kind of sniggering inside, mainly due to the bad break up we had.

Should I feel any guilt?

Has anyone else got and nice Karma tales to tell?

Err.... she now knows that I bought in London, might have let slip that if she wants a cool holiday then try Asia like I did... and she know knows I have been with the OH for 2 years now... did I miss anything out????

Oh and she knows that I have interviews for Geneva and Singapore for jobs (that was how we got onto the cool holiday bit)....

Not really, I don't tend to find pleasure in others' misfortune, even if they have been crap to me.

Perhaps you should tap the old rear doors in before she leaves?

Guilt???

You should be able to dine out on her misfortune for months.

I would suggest a garnish of "my new girlfriend......."

Guilt !? No

Concern at the lack of character you have shown. sniggering at anothers misfortune, how graceful and bold of you !! hehe

Smile wryly and put her out of your thoughts. The desire to torment the girl suggests that a. you haven't really moved on; or b. you're as immature as she is.

I moved on ages ago... she just was a little heartless at how we broke up... me pay for everything to come to a new city (think few k to move and do everything), not knowing anyone, new job, blah, blah, blah... 1 week into it, she decides to break up and shacks up with a new guy within 2 weeks.

Not immature, just its not everyday that the person who is shat upon from a great height finds out the person who dumped you has not gone on to better things and instead its you that has....

Be careful of Karma. I think you may have just upset it by being a little bit cocky!

You're allowed one wry smile...

However I'd move on, break off all contact. Now that she knows you've sorted your life out, de-facebook her.

Already had that and been on the scrap heap for 6 months with no job due to reasons that were beyond my control (office politics and friends should not be allowed)... So its about time i get my payback from karma.

Split up with my ex a year ago. Recently found out she's 6 months pregnant to the lad she insisted she wasn't cheating on me with.

Enjoy your moment of justice, and make sure she knows you are enjoying reading about her hardship.
