I've felt the same way many times in my life, but I think now that I'm older and less full of piss and vinegar, I'm convinced that the best reaction to spurned love is to just move along and forget it. The less said, the more the other person is forced to fill in the blanks and wonder what the hell is going on inside your head; nothing endures like a mystery.
This might be completely unrelated, but one of the worst heartbreaks in my entire life was when a girl friend dumped me, and then almost immediately married a "friend" of mine. That one tore me up for years, tortured me and made me jealous as hell ... until I saw my old ex-gf with her husband (my former friend) at a wedding, and realized that I'd already slept with his woman, and he had absolutely no chance at all of sleeping with my current woman, who stuck by my side at the wedding and scowled at the ex-gf every time she looked in our direction.
Meanwhile, I got to smirk at my former friend throughout the wedding, thinking, "Are you still enjoying my sloppy seconds from ten years ago? Well, check out the new model!"
