Strategies for rising above it...

[BunnyandBee]

So about 10 weeks into h leaving for ow. I have a policy of don't ask, don't want to know generally. I am ok. Mostly.
But I have felt an indescrible urge to be very sarcastic and passive aggressive this afternoon and I need to be the bigger person...
So he sent me two msgs which were swiftly deleted - I assume meant for the ow (just because well he didn't really msg many other people before this). I didn't get a chance to read the content. I just replied with a ?
He replied 'sorry too many conversations'. It is taking every ounce of my power not to respond back with 'perhaps too many women? ' but I know it's childish.
So how do you rise above the petty or desire to be petty?
And yes I know I am still pretty hurt and angry, but maybe some light-hearted solutions may help me.

I know exactly what you mean and to be honest I thought your reply was pretty spot on.

I'm afraid to say I wouldn't even try to rise above it.

You're a better person than me!

Haha, thanks. I managed to hold it in by writing this thread and texting a friend!
It was such a minor thing really, but I am in this heightened sense of everything really. And I am irrationally annoyed that he can't see why his carelessness is/could be very hurtful.
I will be more tempted to let rip once all the legal/financial stuff is sorted maybe?!

I normally indulge in it till it passes away naturally. Why not? You've got nothing to lose.

I would say the stuff lol he deserves it.
