Advice: A letter-writer wants to know whether “a little schadenfreude” is okay after toasting an ex’s run of bad luck.
I had a chuckle at the news, because it’s nice to see jerks get the bad luck they deserve now and then. My boyfriend even bought the table a round of drinks, and we all toasted their bad luck.
My sister didn’t say anything at the time, but later said she’s appalled about my still being so bitter. She suggested that I’m asking for bad karma by laughing at someone else’s misfortune. Her attitude left me floored. I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about my ex or his girlfriend , but when this news came my way, it did make me smile. Do I really have to wish well for people who lied to me and deliberately screwed me over, just to be considered a decent person?It wasn’t your best moment, and there’s no way to argue that it was, but this was also an excellent opportunity for your sister to zip it and let you be flawed for one lousy round of drinks.
We have children, and he contacts me very regularly. He wants to be friends. I can’t do it. I have been experiencing more anxiety than usual, and I think it is post-traumatic stress disorder. How do I get to a place where I am indifferent to this man?
