Indifference creates a void where once our love filled. The love is not gone, just placed away for a while. This is a good path of healing; one can reach significant inner work when not distracted by our MLCer’s behaviours.
However, this absence of feelings allows other emotions to look larger than they really are. Do not make decisions based on emotions. Remember feelings are fleeting. Find your beliefs.
Temptations will loom and beckon, these are just temporary. Find yourself.
You are wise in realizing that anger could easily replace the now vacant love. Strive for compassion. Be gentle and kind.
That is the key. You deserve the gentle and kind life. Live it. Be gentle. Close the cupboard door gently . If you remember from previous posts of mine. Physical actions influence thoughts and feelings, which in turn influence beliefs. You want the kind and compassionate life and beliefs; you start with being kind and compassionate to you.
Fill that void with compassion, understanding, and forgiveness - for yourself.
Towards H: Do not give in to grudges, anger, and hatred. Vengeance inhibits progress on the road you seek. You have indifference, which allows you to not care (so much). It is easy to get lost here. Focus on you. Dig deep and be patient. You’ve got the gift of time, use it wisely.
Create, alter, and strengthen those beliefs you want. Discard those that do not serve you. Live and stand in the light.
Compassion extends from within you. You must have it within yourself. You must believe and live it.
Compassionate and indifference, at first seem like oil and water. They appear so dissimilar; caring and not caring?!? It’s ok, you can hold both at the same time. They aren’t as different as they first seem.
A lot happens once you get to this point. Compassion, empathy, forgiveness, freedom... It’s an incredible journey, with many blessings.
I really like your title. Your heading. This is a good path, IMHO. And it is very much for you.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
