Being the bigger person after being screwed badly just makes you out to be weak especially if other people are around to witness it. I believe it all depends on the situation and in certain cases it deserves to be met...

Your advice is good - carefully distance yourself from the arrangement/relationship but don't be rude or confrontational. It's an amazing feeling to surpass those who screwed you over - even more so when you know they are kicking themselves for doing it to you in the first place.

But it takes a lot of reason and experience to realise this. Till then its best t shut up and not say anything to any one.

I try to be peaceful, not resorting to public anger and just let things go. Sometimes, people just screw me over out of jealousy and that just seems wrong. I still don't bring myself down to their level. Nice article, I can definitely say I’ve been screwed over at a young age too many times, but I never hold a grudge.
