'I hope you're happy with her' The full page ad from a jilted woman that's gone viral

You've heard of the phrase ' revenge is a dish best served cold'? Well, in this case revenge is an announcement printed in bold.

Because a woman got so angry upon discovering her partner was seeing someone else behind her back that she took out an expensive full page ad in the her local newspaper to call him out on it.

Not every one was happy with their comeback, however. "Didn't charge his card? Who's side are you on? Down with Steve," posted one reader.
