Seek
Happiness, Not Revenge
Dear
Harlan,
I
can't stop obsessing over an ex. I know it was an unhealthy relationship
and it's best that it has ended. Yet I have these feelings of
anger and wanting revenge. I don't know why I want to get even.
I know it's a terrible way to live, for the both of us. I know
this is some sort of condition or tic. I know it can be fixed,
but I don't know how.
Help
Me
Dear
Help Me,
When
it comes to revenge, the best revenge is to be happier without
him than you ever were with him. Instead of focusing on what you
can do to hurt him, focus on what you can do to make yourself
happy. That'll show him. Turn this around and be grateful that
you experienced a relationship that enabled you to learn so much
about yourself and someone else. The good news: He's no longer
in your life, and now, you have the rest of your life to find
something better than you ever imagined.
