I’m sorry, I should have waited to confirm your relationship status before sent that message even if the anonymity (mostly) resolves me of guilt it doesn’t make my behavior right. If there’s something to hold on to, hold on to the hope of what is, don’t hold on to what could be but will be. I’ll keep me distance but at least I know (or feel like I know) why you acted so dismissive.
I don’t think being friends is a good idea.

I pray blessings on your relationship, take care.
