Assuming I really hated them and wanted them to suffer, I’d rather that they be super successful.
I’d want them to be successful enough that people not only have sexual fantasies on them, but also, deranged fans that stalk and harass them. The harassment, stalking, and the “pressures of celebrity” would also likely lead them into a downward spiral. Perhaps the only downside to this is that a crazy enough fan would abduct them, and kill them. If I really hated that ex’s guts, I’d rather them suffer until they either spectacularly implode in public, or fade into obscurity only to resurface in the news as one of those “Where they are now?” articles showing their extremely sorry state.
Otherwise, I don’t really care. They’re not my problem anymore. They’d have far better chances of living a normal life if they were super unsuccessful, though, so there’s that.

What an odd and unhinged fantasy
Eh, given that it’s for a novel, odd and unhinged is a good thing, right?

It’s the kind of comment that ends up being used as evidence in their stalking/harassment/rape/murder trial…
That’s true. My alibi though would be that I’ve never left my room for years.
Honestly though, I’d rather my exes live out their lives peacefully as I would like my life to be–hence all the “assuming XYZ” in my OP.
