Just a friend…

So this guy, asked me if I was single about 2 months ago and I’m going through a “separation” with my husband (he cheated, lied was extremely manipulative and a narcissistic asshole) any who, I finally decided to say “I’m done and we aren’t “technically together, but still married. He’s got a tinder account (which he denied), added more than a dozen female friends to his Facebook and dogged me to his 1 of 2 of his other baby mamas…I know there’s no chance we’re getting back together, but at the time this other guy asked me if I was single, I told him no, because I mentally wasn’t ready to “jump into anything” I’m still not but my soon to be ex husband cut me off from all my friends (mainly guys) so I don’t have anyone really to talk to….would it be weird for me to tell this guy “I’m separated and that I’m just looking for friends?” He lives in my hometown and I live states away, he’s a business man so…ughhh idk I just don’t want him to think I want something when all I really want is friends with him asking me “if I was single, it’s clear that he wanted more than friendship” y’all help me…I’ve been through 4 years of turmoil and I feel like I’m overthinking it lmao 🤣

Edit: Honestly, I want to be a wife. That’s why I got married, but for the man God has for me…my marriage didn’t work and I have a lot to work on not to mention babies due soon. I’m not looking for anything serious lol. It’s taking some getting used to because I’ve “never not” been in a relationship.
