Not to a partner, but to other people for past transgressions. I’ve thought about it for some of the girls I dated and yet haven’t. Just to make sure that they’re okay and that I’m still alive and all that. Some I have no conventional way of reaching them and it could be construed as stalking if I did. I feel like utter absolute garbage shit for ending dating with them when were attracted to me but I didn’t feel the same way. It’s hypocritical because I don’t really give the girls who weren’t attracted to me a second thought anymore, so you’d think they would feel the same. But when a grown woman cries in front of you and you’re the fuckhead responsible, you feel like ramming your own head into a wall. That’s the real fucking Greek tragedy of monogamy, you can only have one, and it’s for the best. I think it hits a woman hard, and it’s mine and every other guys duty to soften the blow as much as we can, as in don’t treat them like shit. Don’t James Dean them like a man child<-That guy never grew out of boyhood. And don’t confuse the pain, yes we both hurt women, but that piece of shit did it for his own gain, intently, for sexual gratification, I went the other way.
I know people say move on with life, live with no regrets. But, I regret, sometimes. I remember mistakes I’ve made, and transgressions committed against me. Why I recall the ones I do and the ones I’m not entirely sure, probably the ones that have resonated the most emotionally.
I’ve sent an apology letter but never received one. I was a complete piece of sh*t when I was 18 and didn’t know how to properly care for or love someone. I cheated & lied. She ended up pregnant at 18 and I honestly couldn’t care less at the time. She ended up having a miscarriage. It took a toll on her and I was completely heartless. Her friend would cuss me out and stick up for her, she hated me. She was in the right for that.
I sent my ex a letter years years later. It was long, I pretty much trashed on my past self to her. Apologize to her. There was not much I could do to change anything in the past but write a letter. When I sent her the letter, she was sweet to me as the day we first met. Not in a way that a girlfriend is sweet to her boyfriend but sweet like an old friend. She’s an earth angel. We never tried to rekindle love in that way. We wouldn’t. We’re both married and have separate lives.

The past is the past however years back a girl I broke up with 22 years ago reached out & asked if she could keep in contact with me & surprisingly she wanted to visit me twice & I told her it wasn’t a good time to visit. The first time she wanted to take a road trip a hurricane was heading in my direction & after that is when I was moving into my new home & it just wasn’t the right time.
Received? No. I've written one. Writing is a lost art. And to be a recipient of such letter, I feel, would be most special, as its tangible proof someone took time to think and spell out what and why theyre doing what they are doing. Its probably the most intimate expression of ones feelings.
I have recieved and have in my own ways given love appologies or love letters. Its a little romance here a little there that keeps romance alive not huge gestures that quickly leaving the other person thirsty for more and waiting for another gesture thats not coming.
Not letter but text yea, I have send one and received one, the one I received wasn't from a partner because she was constantly lying to me for the whole year I talked to her and not only that I actually also figured out that she dated one of my friends as well so I forgave her but made it clear that I can't be anymore than friends, it's all good tho cause she has a boyfriend and I spoke to her not too long ago and there's no problems.
I had a long distance relationship before there was e-mail or Skype. Just about every week I would send a handwritten letter to my girlfriend that lived 1500 miles away. I would put some poetry or song lyrics on the back of the envelope before i would send it.
About 20 years ago I was leaving work and saw something under my windshield wiper. It turned out to be a letter from my ex and I still have it to this day. She talked about how and why she fell for me and why she ended up breaking up with me. It was extremely heartfelt and it did ease the pain somewhat for which I will always cherish. We had simply grown into different people that were no longer compatible despite still having feelings.
Ah.. love letters.. A classic and almost lost art of expressing your utmost feelings to that special someone.
I've had this experience with a past lover. It carried more value to me than just a typed up message. I guess it's because of the authenticity of her hand writing, and the time and effort it took into making it that made it all the more special.
Does a blog post count?
If so I did that for my recent ex, we had a nasty break-up. But seven plus years later we have our own lives and in hindsight I realized how much of a dick I was and apologized.
Not really.
Atter ex left me I did put some thoughts down in an e-mail that I sent her. I wasn't asking for her back, I wasn't apologising. I just had some things to get off my chest with the way things went down. I wished her well. Not sure she had same sentiment for me, she seemed angrier than me (even though she ended things and asked for no contact)
When I contacted my ex again after months, she told me she was trying to reach out to me by letter but couldn't figure out my address anymore (I've sent her a Christmas present once in a long-distance relationship). I wonder what she'd have said in the letter in case she could have reached out to me.
I wrote on a letter to ask a guy anz and got rejected. Is was while in special high school.
I have sent 1 apology to someone... The only person who deserves it in my mind... Nobody has ever apologized to me tho.
Since I am a guy, no not really. I have received half hearted apologies that amounted to manipulation in an attempt to get the last laugh more than once though
Personally no I have not. But it would be appreciated
I was shy as a kid to even express love. None. My clg life got killed due to covid. So i ve had none girlfriend to even get and apology the ones i did she cheated on a hotter dood. Just blocked her.
I've written a letter to my ex when she was having hard times
No. I had past messages, but never that.
People normally come back for a reason
Not a letter.
But a phone call to apologize for how horrible she'd been to me as a wife.
yes i wrote a long letter to a girl about 5 years after we stopped talking. she never answered but i'm glad i wrote it
I’ve never received any. Women take men for granted.
