Detachment and going no-contact can be a good way to handle the end of a relationship. It's not always possible to end with a "can't we just be friends?".
This is something I've had to practice with my ex-wife, I wasn't "OK" with her extramarital affairs and didn't want to send the wrong message. We keep our communications to a minimum, discussing only our children.

I think it's great you're taking this step, please continue to share about it if it helps you to get it out of your system.
