I texted my ex a week after the breakup (I ended things)?

[Anonymous]

I texted him today and said I was sorry for the way things ended, we were both pretty immature in the way the breakup ended and I feel awfully guilty that they ended the way they did. I am not looking to get back with him, I know things ended for a reason but I would like to move on and I felt texting him would help me with that, whether he responds or not. I just feel stupid I gave in and I look like the sucker.

Aww don't be so hard on yourself girl! Breakups are never easy and it's normal to have regrets or want closure afterwards. Don't see it as "giving in" - reaching out takes guts. You're allowed to feel your feels and get that off your chest.

I'm sure he appreciates you owning up to your part in how it ended. Even if y'all aren't getting back together, clearing the air can help with moving on. You didn't do anything wrong by texting - some guys just suck at responding!

Try not to stress too much about what he thinks. You did it for YOU and that's all that matters. Now you can close that chapter feeling better instead of wondering "what if?" Take it as a win for your personal growth, regardless of how he reacts.

Chin up sis! One short text doesn't make you a sucker. It was brave putting your pride aside to say what you needed to. You're gonna be just fine - his loss if he doesn't appreciate ya.

No, you want his permission to forgive yourself from your insufferable behavior.

My behavior was not Insufferable :) I didn’t cheat on him and go on dating apps! But thank you :)

Asker... there is a reason you are seeking his forgiveness.

[Asker]

I agree, I did some things I am not proud of either. I think we both did. I am not going to play the blame game but I am willing to admit I did some stupid immature things that I would like forgiveness for to move past.

Never a bad thing to ask for forgiveness

Asker... if you are asking for forgiveness to rationalize your own bad behavior it is shallow.
