Apology Letters to Romantic Partner.
Neglecting Our Growth and Affection

I’m truly sorry for how things have unfolded between us. Looking back, I realize I didn’t put in the effort to grow or change in ways that could have made us stronger. I didn’t treat you with the care and attention you deserved, and I see now how that hurt you deeply. You needed more from me, and I failed to meet that. I take full responsibility for not being the partner you hoped for and for allowing distance to grow where love once thrived. It’s painful to admit, but I understand why you felt we were drifting apart. I regret that my actions, or lack of them, contributed to the space that formed between us. If there’s any chance to learn from this, I want to commit to being more self-aware and intentional about change—not just for someone else, but for myself too. I want to be someone who listens better, shows up more fully, and doesn’t take what we had for granted. I don’t want to rush you or pressure you in any way, but if you ever feel ready to talk, I’m here. More than anything, I hope you find peace and happiness, whether or not that includes me. Thank you for the time we shared and for being honest with me.
