Apology Letters to Romantic Partner.
Expressing Regret for Hurting You

I’m really sorry for how I acted—I know I messed up, and I hate that I hurt you. You mean the world to me, and the last thing I ever want is to make you feel anything less than loved and safe with me. I realize that when I [insert specific action or behavior, e.g., “got distant” or “said those things”], it probably made you feel confused and maybe even doubted how much I care, and that’s on me. I should have handled things so much better. I’m not trying to make excuses or brush it off—I own that I was wrong, and I want to do better because you deserve that. Moving forward, I’m going to be more mindful about how I communicate and make sure I’m really listening to you, not just hearing you. I want us to feel close and open, not hurt or distant. Whenever you’re ready, I’d love to talk more about this and hear how you’re feeling. No pressure at all—I just want you to know I’m here, and I love you so much.
