Beyoncé attending Lauryn Hill's concert in NY — July 25th

This this this this!!!

No. What you actually did was hand them a situation that required them to show you who they are, and they did. The insult, the retaliation, the disappearing act, the ghosting, the cruelty, the punishment, whatever form it took. That was already inside them fully formed and patient, waiting for a moment of sufficient pressure to make itself known. People are not driven to their worst behavior by the specific trigger. If it wasn’t this it would have been something else, a different day, a different disagreement, a different version of you doing a slightly different thing, and the outcome would have looked essentially the same because the outcome was always going to be determined by their character and not by your conduct.
