  My boyfriend of 3 years recently left me for another woman and moved to Arizona, so I'm still contemplating just how I'll go about making him jealous. The last week of July I booked a room in Lake Tahoe with a King Size bed and spa inside the room and I've invited one of his friends to join me for my birthday weekend. Hmm. He's a really, really hot looking friend...So yes I'm thinking jealousy is the least of the revenge...I want to make him suffer like he did to me and in all fairness it will make me feel 1000X better. I want to make sure that he knows that I'm not dying inside anymore and have moved on and let it go...Well at least it's a start.

  Linda,

  Do you even like this friend of your ex's? Don't sell yourself short to make a point. Sleeping with his friend to make him jealous does not mean you've moved on. It means you're still playing games to get him to notice you.

  I hope you think about this long and hard before you do it. You're probably a really special person who just deserves someone much better than your ex. Yes, he hurt you, but revenge is NOT the answer. Take the high road. Go to Tahoe with a friend and if you need to have sex to make yourself feel better - then why not do it with someone you meet in Tahoe?

  And if you do end up going through with it, I hope it doesn't lead to a lot of drama and a lot of stress. Getting over someone takes hard work and a lot of crying. I hope that you feel better soon and can take the steps to truly move forward.

  nope not me, i find it that if you spend half ur time trying to make him or her jealous shows that you haven't moved on at all and that's sad, yes it will make you all happy and a boost to ur ego but what if it doesn't work? Just move on forget him or her, don't be spending half ur time trying to get ur ex jealous, go out and live your life, seriously.

  in my situation its not about going out of my way to make someone jealous. I improve in my life for 'myself'. and in return, I truely look and feel better. And along with that shoulders pushed back and head held high, I look confident and thats mostly what attracts one to another. Therefore knowing that Im in a better situation while the ex is settling for whatever comes their way, they are also wishing they didnt mess up. In return-ego boost=because I got over it and made myself happy for myself not the ex.
