An apology
Hurting You and Breaking Your Trust
To My girlfriend,
I hurt you, and I know that. I can see how angry you are, and I deserve that anger. I said things that were cruel, and I acted in a way that made you feel small. I wasn't thinking about how you'd feel—I was just reacting, and that's not an excuse, but it's the truth of what I did.
You deserved better from me that day, and you deserve better than how I treated you. I know an apology doesn't undo what happened, but I need you to know that I see exactly what I did wrong and how much it hurt you. I'm not trying to move past this quickly or pretend it wasn't serious—it was.
I want to be someone you can trust not to hurt you like that again. I need to do the work to make sure I don't. If you're willing to talk about this, I'm here. I'm listening.
