I'm working through a breakup and feel there are things I need to say I'm sorry for... Can't say them to my ex because the breakup was a long time ago and it would just be weird... Decided to post them here...

I'm sorry that I wasn't ready for the relationship.
I'm sorry I wasn't as into you as you were to me.
I'm sorry I lied about how I felt.
I'm just sorry for all of it. This one's not an apology - I just am sorry for the way it all went down. For both of us. Sorry that the relationship wasn't possible. That it was impossible for it to work out.

And now I'm letting all of this go... Can't keep beating myself up for the rest of my life.

Very nice letlovego, it's good to say what you are sorry for and also realize that with this relationship you are referring to, you did not know a lot of "how to's" too at the time.

Exactly this. I don't want to use it as an excuse - no matter what the reasons, I did things that hurt my bf and I am sorry for that. But I was totally messed up back then, grown up wrong... After the relationship ended, I started therapy, and it's taken me ten years of hard work to get to a better place. I couldn't possibly have known how to be or do better back then.

Thank you for your kind reply, Open_Eyes <3

Wow--congrats to you for tackling your inabilities head-on. When you know better you do better. Feel good about this!! And forgive yourself for then...

I am proud of myself for braving therapy and sticking it out And that is a very good point about forgiving myself for what happened in the past... I need to do that!
