AIW for holding a grudge for 45 years?
My High School boyfriend cheated and then broke up with me. I was devastated. A few months later he began dating one of my best friends (of course I found out later that she was the one he cheated with). I left for college, and they broke up a few years later.
Recently at our high school reunion, she came up to me all excited and happy to see me while I was standing with my husband. I said hello, and nothing else. Didn’t introduce her to my husband and didn’t say another word to her.
Husband asked me later what was up but I just said I hadn’t seen or spoken to her in 45+ years and didn’t feel the need to act as though we were still best friends.
I don’t think I did anything wrong at all, but someone recently said that the ex-friend was hurt and I should have let bygones be bygones. My reply was she never apologized to me for her actions and there was zero reason for me to do anything I didn’t want to do. I wasn’t rude to her, I didn’t even tell my husband what she had done, I just said hello and left it as that. Am I wrong?
