The Three of Swords cautions that while heartbreak is painful, it’s not always about you.

Do not assume the intent of others in their behavior. Either take the time to understand why they do what they do, or walk away from it.

This isn’t ever to give someone a free pass for abusive behavior. Patterns never lie, so pay attention to that in people’s actions over time.

We’re talking about a singular, minor event here. Chances are, if this isn’t a common occurrence then the person didn’t intend to cause harm. But if the person does this often then yes, you need to wash your hands of it an walk away.
