Dear Joe:

I vote for (responsibly) honestly expressing to Bill your feelings and ending contact with him because from your share, you do not perceive a possibility that he will take you or your assertion with him seriously.

Following your assertion/ confrontation with him, I vote to “cut off all contact for good and wait until the bitterness subsides”

In regard to your comment: ” (until I find more people to be bitter towards? Haha”- I say; associate only with people who talk and act respectfully to you and about you, people who genuinely respect you. That way you will not “find more people to be bitter toward”.
