((((((Ali)))))) I'd let the email go for now. We'll see what happens! Sometime soon, maybe you can throw something in to try to get a clue as to what he sees in the future. For now, let's see if he might give that up without you pushing!
You are right, since you aren't in a place where you'd start a new relationship now, you can wait. I think things will be much clearer in a few months.
Hang in there Ali! You'll get through this! And you are not old yet!
