Several months back we met a couple and initially hit off either them. We told them we’d be taking several months off from the LS due to some other life stuff going on. They were fine with that and said they’d still like to meet for drinks before that. That sounded fine for us.

While getting drinks, the wife had a few too many and became a little belligerent. Definitely showed some signs they aren’t quite comfortable with the LS as she displayed some hostility towards her husband.

So then they we took a pause. They messaged us a few times, not a lot, 2 or 3. I responded to their messages at first and reminded them we were taking a break.

Fast forward, it’s been several months since. I think they messaged again and I didn’t answer because I felt I had communicated our situation.

We’re ready to get back in and we discussed reconnecting with this couple. Upon reflection my wife thinks they aren’t where we are and it might just be too much drama.

I’d like to not ghost the couple, but it also feels weird to message them only to reject them. Any advice on how to handle this? Honestly, they are physically attractive, and we had fun talking to them, but the animosity she showed towards her husband was a red flag for us.
