Dear... Ex-Best Friend
I’m sorry that time after time I never chose you. You waited patiently for me, but the timing was never right. I took you for granted.
I’m horrified at how terribly I treated you. I was selfish. Then I got married. I knew I couldn’t keep stringing you along. You wouldn’t drop me. I had to drop you. To avoid further hurt. But I couldn’t even do that respectfully. It was easier for me to ghost you after I got married.
I’m sorry, J. I wish you nothing but the best.
