Dear Sarasa:

You are welcome. You asked if I think that it would be okay for you pull away from him so (1) to see how he will react, (2) to make him realize that he hurt you, and to hurt him back:

I don’t think it will be wise to do pull away for the first purpose because you would be pulling away from him as a test, not because you really intend to pull away from him. His reaction (or lack of) may confuse you further and so, the test results can be inaccurate, and make you feel even worse.

Better you pull away from him because you really intend to do so, not as a test.

Regarding the second purpose- it is understandable that having been hurt by him, you want him to realize that he hurt you, and you want to hurt back. If you pull away from him because you think it is the right thing to do for your sake, then you should do it. If he gets hurt as a result, that’s okay: it is okay for him to suffer a reasonable consequence of his words and his actions. He told you that he is interested in another girl, then it is okay for him to feel sad when you pull away from him.
