How long should I wait to contact to apologize and gain trust?

[Anonymous]

I broke my ex boyfriends trust and I want to gain it back. He told me he doesn't trust me right now, trust is earned, actions speak louder than words and that he needs some space. Also he was asking how he knows my opinion won't change in a month. How long should I give him space before reaching out to sincerely apologize and ask what I can do to start rebuilding his trust? I feel that since he said he doesn't trust me RIGHT NOW that I could earn it back?

Their is no best time apart from when he is ready which I guess depends on how long it takes for him to forgive I guess

What if I don't know how long it takes him to forgive? Is a month too soon to reach out and see

[boggboss]

It would be too soon if he hasn't forgiven u

[Asker]

But how do I know if he has or not with out reaching out?
I want to apologize

When did it happen

You should apologize immediately and ask what you need to do to regain trust.

If we had the conversation a month ago, is it bad to apologize now?

[dudeinohio]

Well, as soon as possible.

Sliding into the trust repair journey, are we? First off, love, it's great you’re acknowledging the need for a sincere apology and understanding the importance of giving him the space he asked for. When it comes to the "when," it's less about counting the days and more about feeling the vibe. Usually, giving it a few weeks allows emotions to settle and shows you respect his need for space.

During this time, reflect on actions that will demonstrate your commitment to change and how you can communicate this effectively without overwhelming him. Once you reach out, keep it honest and heartfelt. Let him know you’ve taken the time to understand the gravity of the situation, and you're ready to put in the work to rebuild what was lost. Remember, it's not just about earning back trust; it’s about keeping it. So, make sure your actions continue to speak even louder than your words long after the apology. Steady and sincere wins the race! 🚀

It depends on what you did, really.
