- Redditers wanted to know if it’s wrong to carry out a Christmas revenge plan
- The idea is to reveal that your boyfriend is cheating in front of your family.
- Most people agreed it wasn’t worth the trouble and branded her an “hole”
A scorned lover candidly reveals her plan to exact revenge on her long-unfaithful boyfriend.
“Will I be damned if I expose my boyfriend’s cheating on me over Christmas?” user u/tthheoo titled a post on Reddit’s r/AITAH forum, in which users feel that they are “holes” in certain situations. We asked other users for their opinions on whether this is the case.
“My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 4 years, 4 of which we’ve lived together for 1 year,” the US-based woman wrote.
“I just recently found out that he was cheating on me,” she continued.
In the post, she explained that her boyfriend had cheated on her “once in the past,” but that she “swore to myself never to do it again.”
“But here we are in the same situation,” she lamented.
The woman also said her boyfriend was “adamant” about having Christmas at his parents’ house this year and that was how he planned to spend the holiday.
A user bought a concert ticket for her boyfriend as a Christmas present because she said, “Although he’s not my favorite artist, I wanted to spend time with him as a couple doing something he likes.”
However, after she found out about his recent infidelity, she felt less enthusiastic about acts of affection.
“I was going to surprise him with Christmas tickets, but then I found out he was cheating on me, so I was also going to include a screenshot of his cheating as a present so I could open it in front of my family. ” she said of her grand revenge plan.
“Would I be an outrageous person if I exposed him to my family at Christmas while they were opening presents?” she concluded.
Thousands of people took comments offering their thoughts on the situation, most of whom told the individual “YWBTA” (short for “You’re going to be the worst hole”).
One top-voted comment read, “Well… YWBTA (to yourself and both your families).”
“Don’t waste the next 12 days of your life and miss out on Christmas with your family. Break up with him and send a message to his parents telling him why you’re not coming for Christmas.
The comment continued, “Keep your tickets and sell them, or invite others, and if you’d like, send a 10-second video of the concert to your ex-boyfriend,” and ended with a reassuring “Merry Christmas.” Next year will be even better. ”
“Just stay away from him,” agreed someone else, while another chimed in: “Spend time with your family before Christmas.”
“If you go through all that trouble and ruin not only their Christmas but yours, YWBTA. You can still have a nice Christmas with your parents without him. Tickets Resell it and reward yourself when you get rid of the scammer.”
One commenter chimed in: “It’s fun and challenging to think about ruining his Christmas in a big way, but here’s the answer.”
And a third added: “I was given some advice once: Don’t be an asshole unless you get something out of it.” Most things come at some cost, so use that power wisely. ”
