A lady on the X platform tweeted: “If my man cheat on me, I’ll hurt him by having sex with his friends.” At first glance, it looks like emotional venting, but beneath it lies something dangerous—revenge, betrayal, and toxic coping.
Healthy relationships don’t thrive on retaliation. Choosing revenge sex not only breaks trust further, it drags uninvolved people into emotional warfare and normalizes harming a partner to “balance pain.” That mindset shifts relationships from love to competition.
Getting hurt is real. But healing should never be replaced with calculated destruction. Accountability, boundaries, communication—or walking away—will always be smarter than revenge disguised as empowerment.
Cruelty isn’t strength. Growth is.
