Dear Elizabeth,
I recently found two plane tickets in my husband’s briefcase for a business trip - one with his name, another with a woman’s name that I do not know. I am so angry and shocked! I knew we were having problems but had no idea he had one foot out the door. I thought we would work things out! Naturally, I want revenge. What’s the best course of action??
Signed,

Dear Seeking Revenge,
I am so sorry to hear about your lying, cheating, scumbag partner. Choose as many nasty words that you can call him and use them. Anger can be the best method to get over somebody who has hurt you until time has a chance to heal what right now cannot be healed.
However, I would say no to seeking revenge. Let karma rule here - what you put out into the world comes back to you and you really need no more hurt at this time.
The best revenge? A life well-lived! Do your best to move on with your life, find out what makes you happy, and never look back. The universe will take care of your ex and the recourse for his despicable actions.
You will be happy in time, on your own terms. That is the best revenge of all!
Best of luck to you,
Elizabeth
