<p>I think you need to apologize for that last move and just come clean. If you really believe in what you wrote, then say, “This is what I sent.” He may be mad, he may be hurt, but he’s going to have to deal with the fact that it’s what you sent. And you’ll have to deal with the fact you sent it. Dealing with it will be better than this constant duel that seems to be developing, plus, you’ll know where you stand and can react accordingly.</p>
<p>Just my opinion.</p>
