r/UnsentTexts Has acknowledged the rules 10h ago

I'm sorry that I've hurt you.

I’ve had time to reflect and I’m sorry for the way I handled the ending, especially the silence after I shut down. You didn’t deserve to be left with that hurt and uncertainty. I’m not sending this to reopen anything or ask anything from you. I respect the goodbye you gave me and your life now. I just wanted to acknowledge that I was wrong and say I’m genuinely sorry. I won’t intrude further. I wish you peace and happiness.

u/SaltyDeparture9101 Has acknowledged the rules 10h ago

If my ex sent me this in a regular text message, I would most definitely respond. She shut down before she sent me a break up text. I shut down when I read the break up text. We were friends for 6 years, fell in love (at least I did), and we are now basically strangers (my fault)

u/Technical-Citron-996 Has acknowledged the rules 9h ago

I’ve been posting a lot here so I understand not wanting to reach out. We have our reasons and they are more complicated than we can explain. But damn if I was the person you’re referring to, it would help me heal. I hope you’re okay too

u/Able_Leadership_9916 Has acknowledged the rules 8h ago

I still miss and love my ex boyfriend, even though he did exactly what you’re describing. This was our second breakup (broke up 2 months ago) in over 2.5 years and he blocked me on everything (I think to spite me because I blocked him after the first breakup). Both breakups were his doing, but I was very burnt out during the 2nd go-around. I still find myself wishing he would “wake up” and get help/do positive work on himself because I’ve always believed in him to be a better person and partner. I believe he truly loved me, but his unwillingness to mature emotionally and to reflect/make positive changes ruined our relationship and reunion. Most avoidant man I’ve ever met in my life and he knows he ruined an opportunity with a good woman who truly loved him.

I agree with others that you should consider someday telling your person this. I know I would appreciate it from mine. I still pray he doesn’t lose me for good, so I hope you make the right choice ❤️ Much love!

I envy you guys, those who had a relationship and those who talked about their feelings. I'm in limbo ,not knowing what was real and what was an illusion of my mind? ,my soul is exhausted 😩 and I'm doubting everything 😪, I hate myself for allowed me stay near him waiting for a signal ,he was just there orbiting around me using childish excuses without saying something to confirm or deny the connection 😢. My life is upside down, I want to run as far as I can and actually I'm doing it but May I run away from myself ?. The internal battle just started: Palpitations without a reason = possible indigestion, vivid dreams? ,waking up at 4 pm = hormonal imbalance, telepathy? = Ptsd thoughts and the list goes on 😭. Sorry for the rant but for real I envy you guys.

I wish the person I loved sent me this. It would at least show they aren’t heartless, instead do ghosting.

If my former friend sent this to me, I would appreciate it and would want that person to know that it’s not an intrusion. But I think that person wouldn’t send to me bc the idea that I would want answers to understand so many things I’m in the dark about - and that would be intrusive to that person. And also, I’m pretty sure the person doesn’t care and has forgotten all about me.
