I think the most important message to send to the WAS in the things that you do and say is: "I will have a happy life with you or without you. You are not essential to my happiness." It leaves the door unblocked to reconciliation, but it also is a green light for you to move forward without him.
I think there is one more part to this message: tough love.
"I don't know if we will ever be a couple again, but if you even want to think about trying again you have to break off ALL contact with OW first"
