“NTA I don’t think you’re an AH. I think you’ve been hurt and you allowed yourself a little payback. The problem is it never feels as good to do the ‘I’ll show them’ thing as you’d think it would.

She may end up really losing you if she doesn’t figure this out sooner than later and that would really be sad.”
