After seventeen years of marriage, a man dumped his wife for a younger
woman. The downtown luxury apartment was in his name and he wanted to remain there with his new love, so he asked his wife to move out and said he would buy her another place later.

                 The wife agreed to this, but asked that she be given three days. The first day she packed her personal belongings into boxes and crates and suitcases. On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things. On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their candlelit dining table, soft music playing in the background, and feasted alone on shrimp and a bottle of Chardonnay.
                  When she had finished, she went into each room and deposited shrimp
leftovers into the hollow of her curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left.
                   Her husband returned with his new girl, and decided to make a four- poster bed; so he pulled down curtain rods painted them and used them as support. All was bliss for the first few days for his new wife and himself. Then it started, slowly but surely. Clueless, the man could not explain why the place smelled as it did.
                    They tried everything. First they cleaned and mopped and aired the place out. That didn’t work.

                     Then they checked vents for dead rodents. Still no luck.

                     They steam cleaned the carpets and hung air fresheners.
                     That didn’t solve the problem.

                     They hired exterminators; still no good. They ripped out the carpets and replaced them. But the smell lingered.
                       Finally, they could take it no more and decided to move. The moving
company packed everything except the heavy four poster bed and moved it all to a new place and since his former wife had nowhere to go and as part of the settlement she moved back to her old place.

“House smells!” says her husband as he moves out and she moves in.

“Oh yeah!” laughs the woman, and as you laugh knowing what happened with her trying to imagine where the stink was coming from, not realizing it was her own curtain rods now part of four poster bed, remember revenge is always a poor option if we want to be healthy and happy.
                  The problem is we want to hit back but revenge is like a boomerang it comes back to you and if you’re not a boomerang expert it hits you pretty hard.
                   Some resentments are large; they’ve built up over a long time and will
not be easy to part with. Some have been fed by years of pain and anger, but all the more reason to give them up.
                   If you’re tired of being hit back with your own anger and resentment and bitterness, you can choose a better way. Be forever unhappy, or be healthy. It’s difficult living with the smell of revenge. It stinks..!
