Have you ever come back to an ex months or years later, and honestly apologized for your part in the break-up?

Question

Sometimes people are just at a really immature or destructive place in their lives where they do not fully realize how much what they are doing or have done has hurt someone they claimed to like or love. Have you ever gone back to someone in your life that you dated, maybe really broke their heart, or betrayed their trust and just apologized fully for what you did to them. Also, not because you necessarily wanted to get back together, but just because you genuinely felt the need to apologize.

there's only one I really would want to apologize too and I don't know why cause he was the crazy one. And he was indecisive. But he dealt with depression so he wasn't thinking straight at times. Tyler #4 was a good man and honestly, the reason why I tried so hard with the guys after him like Cole, Jake #5, and my current boyfriend. They all sound exactly like Tyler. Jake looked like Tyler. Cole and my boyfriend have the same career/hobbies as Tyler. Jake had the same values as Tyler. My boyfriend is a bit submissive like Tyler but he’s also one of the few guys who knows how to tame/calm me down. I keep dating little bits and pieces of Tyler. Ugh I sound crazy rn 😂 So i guess we were a good fit. But his insecurities made me feel trapped so I self sabotaged to escape his grasp. I left Cole for someone else, but it felt like abandoning Tyler all over again. Jake left me. I don’t want to lose my boyfriend because it’ll feel like losing Tyler all over again. My boyfriend also suffered depression but it was years before he met me so it felt like I found a not so broken Tyler. Last year I reached out to Tyler and he blocked me automatically. I really fcked that one up. he's probably my only relationship regret and apparently abandoning him, knowing he had abandonment issues probably further scarred him for life

Me and my ex aired everything out a couple days ago. He also asked if I'd take him back which i promptly shut down. I find that a good conversation not only helps with closure but makes you rethink your priorities. Now that i know, if given the option, I wouldn't want to see him again. I can actually move on

Yes, I did that my senior year of high school with the first girl I ever dated. We "dated" in 8th grade and we both did stupid shit due to being very young.

Sure, an 8th grade relationship doesn't mean much, but I do think bad experiences as a teenager do impact you when you are young, so I decided to apologize for it in case it did for her. I know an ex of mine was like that, which is what made me want to do it.

There are a couple of women that I would apologize to if I ever saw them again. One, because I ghosted her and know it hurt her. Another was a girlfriend that I just didn't treat well out of ignorance and not know how to treat a woman. I think at that time I didn't know the meaning of love. I didn't understand the mistakes I made with her until many years later.

I never formally apologized but certainly did regret breaking off with them. In some cases, would be impossible to explain why the break off, without embarrassing myself, since she may have seen the reason being 'petty' or selfish. However, each person has their own reasons for ending a relationship. Some solid, and some, not-so-solid.

If we leave the part in which I get cold inside and feel nothing for them, I also have dignity.

I am well aware of my mistakes and have never had any problem admitting to them.

Nope. I'm man enough to apologize right then for any role that I've played, wish them well, and I don't give second chances. But if she's willing to part on good terms I will always be a friend.

There’s a reason they were your ex…usually not good to reunite unless you broke up not related to relationship issues
