I did enable a lot of it. I think it was because of the fact that I was never in a serious relationship before and I was just happy to be in one, even despite all the abuse and other things I had to put up with. I think she may be a narcissist too but it’s so hard to believe because when we met, she was so nice to me.

Do what you think will make you happy but realize it'll reflect more on you than her.

If you try to get revenge then you'll only give her ammo to use against you...and she would so just stop all this right now and block her completely.

If you pursue revenge, she will still win.

Instead of her being the bad one, it will just be you carrying out her vengeful tasks. If you succumb to these impulses, it will prove that she still has control over you.

Choosing NOT to do it will be the way to put her in her place once and for all.

You're just hurt and angry.

You need to be more mature with your feelings. The best revenge is living a happy/successful life without that person.

If you do what you describe you'll end up publicly identifying yourself as a "mark" and may end up attracting more women with similar qualities to your psycho ex. If you are looking to get past this and never repeat it again your plan is the exact opposite of what you ought to do.

That’s not a mature or healthy response, OP. I suggest you go to counseling for this, honestly, so you can find a way to be okay with it on your end without being poisoned by your own (justifiable but useless) anger.

The best revenge you can give an ex is to move on with you life and be a success.

Leave it at that. Nothing you do from this point on will make it better except moving on with your life.

Revenge will not help you feel better, just move on and totally forget about her. That's what will help you.
