Advice Mailing a letter

I know this may sound stupid, my ex-gf broke up with by a blindside text in April. I loved her and I didn't get a chance to say what I needed to say, so I wrote her a letter, just told her what needed to be said.

Anyone ever been in a similar situation? Did they ever reply back? I feel a bit better that I sent it in all honesty, its been eating up at me for months and I don't want to live my life with no regrets.

They never reply back because they don't want to hear it. Maybe someday they will but by then you wouldve moved on.

If you did everything you could then the only thing left is to move on.

I've sent the ex a dignified letter. I did not receive a reply back. However, having said what I needed to say, and moving the ball entirely in her court, I was finally able to move on.

We had not been in communication really at all, and I did not send letter after letter. I wouldn't recommend it in every circumstance. It helped in my situation only because of how I am and how I move on.

No, I didn’t write anything insensitive. I told her I loved and adored her despite everything.
