What preposition goes with resent?

The most common preposition used with "resent" is "for".

Here are some examples:

* "She resented him for his rude behavior."

* "I resent her for stealing my idea."

* "He resented the fact that he was always overlooked."

While "for" is the most common, you can sometimes use other prepositions depending on the context. For example:

* "I resent the pressure put on me by my boss." (Here, "on" is used because it emphasizes the source of the resentment).

* "He resented the injustice he faced." (Here, "faced" is a verb, not a preposition, but it functions similarly to a preposition in this context).

Ultimately, the best preposition to use depends on the specific meaning you want to convey.
