Dear Newlifestartsnow:

“I am better off without you”- I can see this statement being unpleasant to the one hearing it.

Again, as long as you don’t know what of your verbal output to her offended her, there is no way for you to evaluate it for offensiveness, and then figure out if an  apology is needed.

I can also see how it feels weird, to be used to friendly greetings with her and now, no longer knowing how to behave, not knowing where you stand. I hope there will be a way for you soon enough to know a bit more.
