How can I connect these two sentences?
I wish I had realized right off the bat that Tanya was a gossip.
I never would have confided in her.
Is it correct if I say
I wish I had realized right off the bat that Tanya was a gossip. If so, I never would have confided in her.
I wish I had realized right off the bat that Tanya was a gossip. If I had known, I never would have confided in her.
or there is no need anything "I wish I had realized right off the bat that Tanya was a gossip. I never would have confided in her."
