How do you get back at your ex?

When you're mad at your ex-boyfriend there are all types of things you want to do to prove you're over him. Madonna and Rihanna have proved to be no exception, as they have not-so-discreetly taken jabs at their exes this week.

Madonna has switched teams, ditching her ex A-Rod's Yankees for their crosstown rivals. On Mother's Day, Madge took her kids, Lourdes, Rocco and David, to see the Mets play at Citi Field along with her new boy toy, Jesus Luz.

For Rihanna, words speak louder than actions, as she spells out her troubles with abusive boyfriend Chris Brown though lyrics. From her new song, "Silly Boy," with Lady Gaga:

“I said I’m not coming back. You fooled me once but you can’t have that ego turning. Just too bad for you, that when you had me. Didn’t know what to do, she’s over you. Cause you had a good girl, good girl, girl. That’s a keeper. You had a good girl, good girl but didn’t know how to treat her. So silly boy get out my face. Why do you like the way regrets taste?”

Ouch. Looks like she won't be taking Brown back anytime soon!

    Once he realizes he's missing out on a good thing... it's punishment enough.

    And you don't look like a silly girl trying to hurt someone because you're still not ready to move on.

    Or just tell every girl you know that he's got a small member. Remarkable how many people believe that one. ;D

    Wow... loved the Rihanna lyrics. I'm over my ex and haven't thought about him in ages. I think that's the best getting back at him. Coming up with clever ways to hurt him means you in some way you regret the end of the relationship - talk about ego boost for him. Forgetting about him and moving on with your life is the best revenge. I moved within a couple hours drive of my ex with the hopes that we'd end up together... and then I realized how stupid that decision is and how badly that decision has affected my life and my career. So, I resolved to move on and to focus on me and my own goals.... For myself, I, honestly, just don't care about my ex or what he does anymore. There's a damn good reason he's an "X".

    I am going through a breakup right now, and while part of me understands the urge to get revenge, it is just not worth the effort. Much more positive to move on with your own life and improve your own situation than to muck around in hatred.

    That said, I also loved Rihanna's lyrics and I hope they mean that abuser is out of her life for good. But I think her case is more about setting the record straight (his people apparently were putting out nasty lies about her having herpes and the like) than pure revenge. Most of the time, as vixenvena says above, best to forget him and move on.
