Thanks for A2A.

I really haven't seen anyone take revenge on an ex (or right now, nothing comes to mind). However, I have seen the classic "you reap what you sow" situation.

I knew a man in his thirties who would constantly pursue women making them think that he wanted marriage, getting "one thing", and then dumping them. While this might be normal behavior for a very young guy, this guy admittedly did this from the ages of twenty and onward. Some of these women were scarred after long-term relations in which he heavily played the marriage card, others were just annoyed, etc. Yet, he kept all of their information in order to go back to any one of them whenever if he turned 40 and was still single.

Well, he is 40 and most of the girls that he played are married or simply want nothing to do with him. He even tried to get me and I was only his platonic friend (and in a relationship that started soon after he insulted me one day and called me ugly but took it back when he realized I was out of reach… too late).

He also bragged that he could always use his career to get women, but his career has stalled. He is 40 and still close to entry-level. His cockiness prevents him from getting other positions.

Basically, after years of using women, all of his plans to get one have failed.
