Living well is the best revenge...

...at least that's what my husband said.
The comment came after a phone call from my Grandma. Apparently, an old boyfriend of mine had stopped in to see her, and was asking about me.
When Grandma called to tell me about it, she also mentioned that he was now separated from his wife. His wife was the "other woman" when I was dating him, and was the reason we split up. So, the news to me, was....well....pleasing.
Grandma went on to say that he looked a lot older (yeah!), and that he has gained a lot of weight (double yeah!).
I know it's petty to take pleasure in the pain of others. But this man treated me like dirt when we were together (although I didn't realize it then). And, although I have never felt the need to take revenge on him for the way he treated me, I can't help but feel slightly happy that his life most likely isn't as wonderful as mine.
Living well is the best revenge.
