I messaged her brother during NC

I messaged her brother after a while of NC and said

“I love her and i still want her but I certainly dont need her”

she has just given birth to our daughter so life is a whirlwind for her right now, and there are other mitigating circumstances which mean she is unable to contact me even if she wanted to

I fear by saying I want her ive ruined my progress in NC, I thought saying I dont need her what send a strong message.
