The one who has been wronged thinks: "If I told them what they did wrong, they'll ask me for forgiveness, which I really can't give them, even if they didn't meant to hurt me, even if they learn their lesson. I can't help but see their action as that bad. Why bother to talk to them in the first place if they'll end up asking for something impossible?"
The angry one does consider the other one a mostly good person, but can't help but remeber the action every time both of them meet.
So the upset one cuts contact (maybe not entirely) and the other one doesn't like it nor knows why.
What do you think should the one who has been wronged do?
It depends on the nature of the incident, and the relationship between the people involved. I, personally, default to open and honest communication, and then adjust as the situation dictates.
