3. Everything is still fresh, but I'm back and forth on how to treat/interact with W going forward. My instant, gut, hurt reaction is that I don't want to speak to her. I don't want to be around her. I'm perfectly fine ending that friendship because of all the hurt I've been through. However, I also realize that IF I do want any chance of reconnecting with W down the road, a perfect opportunity lies ahead of me (starting with that response you mentioned). I'll need some time to process...
Speak with your actions. No need to tell her that you don't want to speak to her, see her, be her friend. In your communications, just be short, to the point, elusive. If you attend an event together, treat her like a neighbor: courteous, yet a stranger. This way, you get the distance you need from her and you don't burn any bridges.
