Revenge might be, “…a dish best served cold”, to coin a saying, but it’s not necessarily all that it’s cracked up to be.

There are many things which might seem worth doing in the heat of the moment when the pain and maybe even rage of breaking up is upon you, but the best thing that you can do at a time like that is to get to a side and wait it out.

You can either be by yourself, or be with understanding friends, but don’t make hasty decisions or half-baked plans about getting your own back. Most times, these plans will either backfire or go awry somehow, most of the time causing your more grief.

This is the very last thing that you need on your plate now, so if you are looking to get your ex back, you need to ideally make sure that it is not merely for the sake of taking him/ her back only to boot them out when it suits you.

Revenge is a nasty reason for wanting to get back together, and will cause pain for all concerned, not only for your ex, but also for you, and for anyone else who is unwittingly caught in your plans.

Think long and hard before you put a plan of revenge into action, because you can be sure the outcome won’t be a pretty one.

Once something is done, once words are exchanged in the heat of the moment, words that you can’t take back, you will be left to deal with them and the repercussions from them for a long time to come.

You will have to live with yourself for what you have done, and sometimes it’s harder to live with yourself and your memories than with anyone or anything else.
