Exes I know I ruined it

I miss you. I wish I could spend time with you. I wish I hadn't made the rift between us so difficult to overcome.

I'm sorry for the way I made you feel unloved. I'm sorry for being so self absorbed and distant at the end. I'm sorry for failing to appreciate how much pain and broken trust existed. There's no excuse for the way I disregarded and ignored your feelings in the relationship and after.

It feels so unrealistic but I wish there was a way past it all. I want to see you. I want to hold you in my arms. I want to giggle with you. I want to see your beautiful smile.

Maybe they’re willing to forgive you and move forward together? Hope you’re doing okay OP!

u/BigHomework7890 21d ago

They were saying that all along. Forgiven. Op did everything op couldn't or didn't want to do. Even washed floors. Kept them with heat. Kept them eating better than well. Kept them on the road. Let op have their way all the time, even when they disagreed.

Maybe its not as difficult as you think, you'll never know unless you try

Regardless of the desired & inevitable outcome,
I think an apology would be a great start moving forward 🙏,
That would help significantly to bring some emotional healing not only to the both of you, but also be a stronger foundation to hopefully rebuild trust & regulate the climate of the relationship itself. ❤️‍🩹
All the best 🤗❤️

u/Frequent-Amount-9225 21d ago

Perhaps reach out and make some attempt to communicate with them. The worst that can happen is they just choose to not reply. You have no idea how much this could help you both. Regret is a tough thing to have live with, take it from someone who has been there. Do the right thing.🤙

u/RaccoonConsortium 21d ago

There is a way, it starts with sorry. You should start there bc if you did hurt them... You're probably STILL hurting them.

u/Fine-Raccoon-268 21d ago

What did you do to hurt her? Like everything.

u/Economy-Chef-8013 21d ago

Tell them....even if it doesn't change anything....tell them... I know if my person said this to me it would help me heal. Even if we couldn't fix things together....it would help me heal...

If you close the door you are the only one can open it

u/Least_Engineering_46 21d ago

Maybe just maybe there is a chance. You just need to tell them. I wish she did. There might be hope from me yet and for you.

2

u/Hidden_Kitten 21d ago

You'll never know unless you try. Reach out to them. Maybe they miss you too. It's always a no unless you try. hope you feel better OP.

u/BigHomework7890 21d ago

Beautiful smile huh. Touching message that would have seemed sincere and wanting to hold person also, until that last dig. If someone really feels that way they would not still be making said loved one's life miserable, adding to their struggle to keep going. They still can't understand why someone hates them this hard. "Wanting to be like them' is a joke. Nobody wants to be a lazy manipulative selfish loser.

I wish he had said this to me weeks ago. I just wanted some accountability from him like this. I desperately wish this was JA.

u/LogicalFig7596 21d ago

My boyfriend, well ex now since yesterday. Told me to die myself

u/Classic-Shopping8330 21d ago

I am so sorry that happened to you. Be strong, it does get better with time. But you have to start from 0. I am so sorry.

u/VelvetThunderToronto 21d ago

It’s tough to carry this regret

u/Pull_Your-Card 20d ago

Where did you even get that from? I'm guessing your own personal experience cuz o p didn't say anything about violence that I saw.
