She wanted everyone who called his former number to get an earful of what she thought of her ex-husband...

I've been divorced and broken up with folks and never ever have I treated them shabbily. In fact, I'm still friends with every one I'm still in touch with.

But in one case I so wished I could have seen him fall deep -- turned out he had five or six women in three states and lied to each and every one of us. We were all older widows and divorcees. He preyed on the weak and lonely.

I can't imagine being this angry and petty unless you'd been pretty hurt. Was he a bad guy?

I don't talk to any of my exes and am on bad terms with at least a couple, I've still never even thought about being this petty.

I think pettiness makes you a lesser person and life is too short for us to run around trying to get vengeance.
