Dear J: I want to let you know that I am very sorry for the pain that I contributed during our brief friendship. I wish that I had insisted that your wife know that we were friends. That may have kept us both from lapses in judgment. I think that you are a kind and wonderful person and I never meant to cause you any pain. I hope that I did not, but I think I did. I am sorry.\u00a0 I was so dumbstruck when you called in March that I did not know what to say. Your voice frightened me. I hope that you know that I do not approve of dishonesty. I also do not approve of breaking up marriages or causing pain if it can be avoided. These are the only reasons that I agreed to your request. I think that you know that but not knowing for sure causes me great sorrow. You and your family are in my thoughts. I accept my responsibility for the things that would have been better left unsaid. Sometimes I feel angry and objectified by some of the things that you said, but I don’t think that you had those intentions. I think that (like me) you were feeling alone. I hope that your life is much better. I wish you the very best.\u00a0 – d-<\/p>\n
