My (34F) ex husband (39M) left me for a 26YO nightmare. They just broke up and I want to reach out to her and ask if all the horrible things she put us through were worth it now that she’s in my shoes. I won’t but damn, I want to so bad.

First and foremost: I'm sorry he/they did this to you and that you had to go through all of this!

Secondly... Sometimes what goes around does indeed come around and she did get what she deserved and you have to be the bigger person now and just take comfort in that fact! Don't go down to her level and hold this over her head B y contacting her.

I know I'd want to do it too because it would give me immense pleasure too but don't even try to mess with someone who's that fucked up, it can only end badly.

In the end, even though it's hard, try to take something positive out of all of this: you dropped some dead weight and dodged a bullet, even if pretty late, because let's be honest, you would've wasted a lot more time with your ex and just imagine something like that would've happened even later in life! And she got exactly what she deserved!
