Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Come come, one and all, and hear ye a sensible tale. Yes, we all have divisions in faith and morality. The fact that we are able to integrate these differences and respect the ideals of another is what makes paganism and occultism what it is. Let's not turn to intolerance, for that is a root in the tree of evil, shall we?
If it is your opinion that magick isn't suitable in this situation, then give her advice against it. However, don't be pushing views on others. Any of you. Just as Bloodsucker has the right to say that magick should never be used for vengeance, so does Arcanist have the right to give spells of a darker sort as he deems fit.
Arcanist, you must recognize there is a risk behind all things. No action comes without consequence, even if none has come unto you, there is always the risk. One must be willing to take it or one must disregard the action. You've chosen the former; there isn't a "better" choice, really, nor a worse. Both are equal. See Liber ABA, Theorems.
Bloodsucker, please. Understand simply that not everyone believes the same thing and that everyone has the right to speak their beliefs. You do. So does Arcanist. And the OP, if she's with us still, as the right to ignore or obey which of you she should choose.
Love is the law, love under will.

I would like to add, in regard to her health, that repressing such strong, hateful emotions could also lead to the exacerbation of her condition.
I recommend reflection, to be sure it is not a result of the revenge you wish for (like the ability to forgive and move on) but rather the revenge itself. If at your core, you wish for their total and utter anihilation, you must imagine the worst things that could possibly happen and be able to rejoice in them. If you cannot laugh at every thought, you are still empathetic and would eventually harm yourself in wishing for revenge.
If you want to leave your emotions behind, then set out to do just that. If you want to crush them into the dirt, then be thorough about it and realize how long it may take to set things in motion. You may be waiting for years.
Mihi Cura Futuri pointed out there are more concrete and mundane routes to do the same thing, and these methods are as instant as they are effective.
I have cursed many people, and I have seen my wrath come to fruition. I have never suffered because of it, and I am at a place in life where nothing could harm me. Come what may, I have seen no reciprocation of my wrath.

I am amazed by the amount of interest such a simple little request has drummed up. An amazement made even more fantastic when one considers that the author of this organized chaos is nowhere to be seen...
At any rate, there are pros and cons to both sides of the fundamental argument presented. I myself do not hold that hexes or curses are particularly damning to the caster in and of themselves, but simply like all workings, require a price to be paid. And depending on how they are worked, the cost may be very high in the form of backlash or very low and take nothing more than the time and energy required to work.
Frankly, I've worked magic of this sort before, but it was never of a truly malicious intent. Then again, that is my opinion. I asked nothing more than that they go through the experiences that caused me to suffer so that they might understand what it is like and what they have done. Granted, I have been very upset at times and did not focus my intent like I should have and ended up casting more powerful and vaguer versions of this that did backlash, but normally I am protected from backlash as I make the conditions something I already understand and have suffered so that anything reflecting back simply cannot take hold.
But...more than the ethical arguments and more than the moral dilemmas, the only question she or anyone else need ask is "Is it worth it?" Because if this is something that she can do without regret, regardless of whether it turns out to be a mistake or not, then her will is set and trying to hold back is going to cause her greater suffering. And if she is to suffer regardless, then were it me, I'd sooner suffer for something I have done than something I refuse to do.

With the forewarning that I haven't read much of the contents of this thread, here is my advice.
Die. As awful and unpleasant as it sounds, die. They'll both find out about your condition. A curse would bring pain and hardship, quite probably, but many times, pain brings lovers closer together.
If you die, however, he will probably feel guilty for it. So, I would expect, should she. But that guilt, in my opinion, will grow to lie at the center of their relationship, and every time they think back on their past, you will be there, haunting them.
Wherever their lives take them, so long as they are together, it makes sense that you will always be at the backs of their minds, your death weighing on their shoulders. Perhaps, even, they will curse themselves.
If you believe in an afterlife, or anything of that ilk, you'll have happily moved on by then, without any sort of a mar on your record from the incident.
If you don't want to die, however, it's understandable. I don't think a curse is in order here, but if you do, I suggest finding a way to affect sexual function, and let the punishment fit the crime.

Guilt to some people is worse than any kind of curse. It can even be put into a curse. But here I say: Some. Some people wouldn't feel that way. In that case, was that person even worth taking the chance to die over? That sounds pretty silly.
But anyway. I don't think I'd like to have lived knowing I have harmed, what I could not. But that's just me. If you're cool with knowing that you did, well - go right ahead. Just as long as you've thought about it. That being said, because of my way of life, I have no curses in my pocket. Lol

omg How horrible of a person do you have to be to tell someone that was/is fighting cancer to die for revenge? That is not only sick,its the worst advice I have EVER seen given.
I feel sorry for you, because you obviously have some serious problems.

Distressing as it may be, you gotta admit, when it comes to methods of causing ruin via cursing, it's an interesting method, at least. It's just kind of slightly incredibly drastic, and more than a little unreasonable. Still, as far as thinking outside the box goes... that'll do it.
