Apology Letters to Romantic Partner.
Saying Hurtful Things by Mistake

I’m really sorry for the weird things I said the other day. I know I tried to crack a joke, but instead of laughter, I just ended up stepping on your feelings. I get it now; it wasn’t funny and came off as thoughtless. You mean the world to me, and I never want to be the reason you feel hurt or uncomfortable. I take full responsibility for not reading the room and for trying to be funny when I should have just listened. My attempt at humor backfired spectacularly, and I can only imagine how that must have made you feel. I truly regret saying something that made you feel disrespected, and that’s not okay. To make it right, I promise to think before I speak—especially when it comes to jokes. I want to be the kind of partner who lifts you up, not brings you down. I’ll be more mindful of how my words can impact you, and I genuinely want to keep working on being better at this. If you’re up for it, I’d love to talk about it more when you’re ready. No pressure, though—I completely understand if you need some time to process. Just know that I’m here, ready to listen and learn, and I care about you deeply.
