It's weird how time heals
I was very deeply betrayed by my ex partner and wanted to go no contact but we had some shared assets that we needed to sell which took almost a year to sort out.
During that time I was being civil with him but only contacting him when absolutely necessary. He was dragging things out and being very unreasonable. I had moved to another country and had to reschedule my moving company twice to get my stuff transported because he kept going on 'spontaneous' vacations with his new girlfriend. And when i finally did get my things back, some of my possessions had been vandalised including a family heirloom that had a lot of sentimental value.
I feel like these were all attempts to get a rise out of me, but i never responded or showed a reaction.
Shortly after our breakup I had planned to wait until he didn't have anything to hold over me and then give him a piece of my mind. Then i would block him on everything and out his cheating ass to everyone i know. But when that time actually came almost a year later, i just didn't care. My close friends already knew what had happened anyway so why waste my energy? There was no fanfare ot catharsis, I just never contacted him again.
That was six months ago and of course I'm still angry, but I'm thinking about it less and less. Hopefully in the future I won't think about it at all.
