Well,
that's relative to individual preception - you may see it long term
solution for your plight, but your other half may not see it that
way. He/she may realise your goodwill years later, but that's
probably a calculated gamble on your part because sometimes,
resentment supercede everything and other times... it doesn't
really matter.
Responding to your topic, personally, I made such decision before -
about crystalising my emotions and disregard to that person's
feeling because I reckon that it's better for the both of us.
Obviously, I took all blames and labelling, but interestingly I am
fine with all that.
Yunhaier is evil after all - I don't have to explain my decision to
make me appear 'good'. Spectators know nuts and therefore their
judgment worth nothing in my eyes and I do not include others in my
consideration of things.
Then I pen down my experience and wrote a law in earlier CloUdiSm -
Law of Greater Good.

As you are vague in your definition, I cannot say
for sure that the decision made by him/her for the better of things
is indeed better. Perhaps, if you are more comfortable, you can
always PM the entire story (or you can relate it here)
Cheers
