It’s been seven months since the breakup

It’s been seven months since the breakup. I ended things because her avoidant behavior kept pushing me away. We’ve had no contact since that abrupt final call until last week when I sent her an apology letter.
She’s deeply hurt and has now reframed me through her anger painting me as dishonest and fake. That really upset me especially considering she lied and cheated. I can’t accept being mischaracterized like that especially when I gave her everything.
As expected she’s completely closed off to any possibility of trying again. She even admitted she can’t acknowledge me if we cross paths.
But what I’ve come to realize is that my fixation isn’t about wanting her back. The relationship was painful I was breadcrumbed and treated more like a placeholder than a partner.
What I truly wish is that I could go back to that moment and stop myself take a breath and think more deeply before everything unfolded. Not because it would change the outcome she still betrayed and hurt me but because maybe it would help me let go more easily now.

when you wrote that letter, were you hoping for closure from her or more for yourself?

it’s okay to want to defend yourself, but sometimes peace comes from letting their version exist without reacting. what helped me was reminding myself, “i know what really happened,” and that was enough.

my ex also twisted the story after cheating, made me look like the villain just to protect her ego. that kind of rewriting of history messes with your head so bad
