29 Answers I know this is an old forum but I thought I would put my letter on here to see if it can help me, I haven't given my ex this letter yet but I really want to. Please comment on it, good or bad.
Feel free to use any part of this letter if you think it will help.
I have changed the name of my lost love for (Name).
My dearest darling (Name).
I have been in love many times before, I thought I knew how to handle everything. That was until what has happened recently, I realised that I have become complacent with us. I realise that I haven't been there for you when you needed me and I realise that it was me who drove you in to the arms of another.
(Name), I have looked back and reflected on what I have been and how I have been, so to quote a song I once heard, To live for today and to love for tomorrow is the wisdom of fools. And that is what I am and what I have done, I have been a fool because tomorrow is promised to no one but I took for granted that tomorrow was promised to me.
I have been thinking, thinking about when we first met, that day in (Place) when I first laid my eyes on you, the feeling I had can only be described as WOW!, it was and still is amazing. I remember our first kiss and how exciting it was and how I thought about it that night and the coming days, how I wanted to feel your soft lips pressed against mine once again.
That day is what I remember being the first day of the rest of my life.
I remember us taking walks, holding hands and holding each other, cuddling each other and not worrying about the rest of the world. I remember us planning our future together. I'm so sorry that I have such a bad memory and can't remember everything and I hate my memory for that. I wish I could remember.
I know I haven't been the perfect boyfriend that you wanted me to be, I know I have been a bad person, I don't know where I went wrong, I guess I thought I was doing enough and that you would never leave me. I was so wrong and so stupid.
I remember the fun we had when we went camping for the first time together, we got there late and the campsite lady was so grumpy with us and we had to set up the tent for the first time in the dark. And then the following day you took me pony trekking for the first time in my life, I never thought I would ever get on to a horse but you made that possible for me.
I hear different songs on the radio and they make me smile and they make me cry because they are songs that remind me of you and of us, I never thought I would have cried to rock me Amadeus.
I remember how you taught me to dress better, I would have never bought the clothes I have now if it wasn't for you.
You have shaped me over the years into this person, I got lost on the way. I became blind.
I really thought we could make it, I thought we had made it, I really believe that you are my soul mate and we are made for each other.
I miss you so much, I miss not having you to take to the train station in the morning even though I always woke up grumpy. I miss seeing you sat on the sofa in your PJs I miss having you to hold at night, I miss our cuddles and our kisses.
I miss your beautiful brown eyes looking back at me filled with so much love.
I miss your smell, my comfort smell.
I can't believe how stupid and selfish I have been, but I do know that I don't deserve you but I also know so very much that I want to deserve you. I want to look into your eyes and see all that love once again.
All I know now is that I hurt so badly and I know it because of all the mistakes I have made and how I have pushed you away instead of pulling you closer to me. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want us to grow old together. God I miss you so so much.
I have a pedestal just for you, to put you high up, like a princess, I need you to be my princess again.
I heard a saying once If it isn't written then it isn't true I believe that, that is why I'm writing you this letter.
I know every relationship has its problems, I know I have made my stupid mistake and I have stood my stubborn ground and said things when I should have caught my tongue and kept quiet. But after all I have said, this letter isn't about who is right and who is wrong, I know we have had our arguments but this letter is not about them either.
I am writing to tell you that we can work through this, I know we have had our disagreements but no matter how strongly we may disagree on any subject, I will always be able to say this,
I am madly in love with you (Name) and I never want anything to come between us.
I think you feel the same way too.
My (Name), my love for you is still as strong for you today as it was when we first became lovers, only that it is even stronger now. Our love for each other is so powerful, its our glue, and it sticks us together through everything. I love being so close to you and knowing that nothing could ever separate us, not even the worst of problems.
I don't want to fight with the only person who I have ever given my whole heart to, to My (Name), the only girl I have ever loved so so dearly and so so truly. I only want to focus on the precious and wonderful girl who I fell head over heels in love with and our love together.
You are so important to me, more important to me than the air that I breathe, more important than the blood that pumps through my heart and you are so so much more important than the problem that seemed so enormous to me at the time. I over reacted.
The time for me showing you the attention that you fully deserve is so overdue. Let me give you that attention and I promise that you will never go without it again.
I know that special sweetness that we had has gone, but it hasn't gone forever, it has just lost its way, together we can find it and bring it back and make it so much sweeter.
I know I have not treated you as well as I should have had.
I am hoping that our love is strong enough to get us through this. I'm not asking to have back what we had. I'm asking for a fresh and brand new start, for us to turn the page and build an even better and even stronger Paul and (Name).
I remember when you first told me that you love me. You melted my heart, just like you do every time I hear you say it to me.
I tried not to hurt you, I tried not to do you wrong, if I could start over again, a million miles away, I would follow my heart and it would bring me straight to you.
It so cold without you, so cold without a tomorrow, so scary without a future that isn't what it used to be. Our futures are meant to be just that, ours. Heaven may have angels and angels may sing their songs but they don't know everything. They may have streets of gold, they may have perfection and immortality but they have never known the touch of your fingers upon my skin. They will never know the taste of your soft lips pressed against mine.
Im hanging on to dreams of yesterday and the promise of a forgotten future but I'm beginning to think that I was born to be alone, born to go through this life empty and alone, to walk the long walk through the darkness without your love to guide me.
You are the only person who has ever made my dreams come true. I am everything I am because of you, because of your love for me. You have stood by me through so much and you are the one who has never let me fall.
I remember our first slow dance in the (Place), we danced slowly to U2s one, it was sung by Insanity Beach and we slow danced in front of all of those people.
Please let us have our slow dance again.
I will always love you with everything I have.

Do not send the letter, call her and try to explain everything. |
Thank you ajGambino,
I know the letter makes me sound soft and weak but it also conveys my true feelings, I can't help that, I can't help how I feel.
As for calling her, she has told me she needs a little time to sort her head out, this is the second day that I haven't spoken to her and it is so so hard for me, its cutting me up inside.
I know I need to be stronger but I have nothing left, no energy and nothing to live for | | |  | Full Member | |

| | | I'm sure you have a lot to live for, you just put so much of it in her. Getting in a relationship should be a benefit to both partners, not a necessity. I've been through this before. Almost a month actually. I felt the exact same way man, and the guilt running through your head is almost unbearable. Do not send the letter. Giving her what she asked for goes a long way, believe me.
This is normal right now. I felt the 'what ifs', the 'I just need to do this', the 'if I just talk to her', etc. It's gotten a little easier day by day, you just need to focus on your own life and not dwell so much. Dwelling will make your life miserable, try not to think about it so much. Things will get easier, you just need your space as well. Try to go NC and stay that way. If she calls you, great. If she doesn't, great. You need to worry about yourself now.
..and you know what? I was with my ex for nine years...NINE years man. I never thought I would be ok after this whole thing. But I stuck to my guns and am still in NC. Things are better then what they were in the beginning. Try to be strong, give her the space she needs. If you don't hear from her, it's for the best. But don't wait, move on and be thankful for what you do have instead of regretting what you don't. | | |  | New Member | |

| | | People all ready gave you a reason why not to send the letter.
First and second and third. Your issue is you put somebody ahead of yourself and everything.
You need to realize this person is not everything. This person not being in your life is not the end of the world.
You need to move on whether you want to or not.
This person has decided to go with other people. This person is an ex.
You need to leave this person alone. GO GET COUNSELING. IT IS VERY MUCH NEEDED.
You put somebody in the center of your world and you lost yourself. You need to find yourself again.
No Contact. No phone calls, No Letter. It is over. The faster you realize it the better for your health and possible future relationships.

| | | I can sympathize a lot with your letter and how you feel, shoot even reading it makes you feel like, I want to send a letter. But honestly, don't send the letter.
If you met a girl tomorrow, who had everything you ever dreamed of, was the perfect woman, was 10 times as attractive as your EX, loved to cook, loved to do whatever you love, etc etc etc, you would feel like maybe there is hope.
Here are a few things I picked up on reading your letter.
1) you somehow are taking responsibility and blame for things. My ex had this effect on me. She was selfish, needy, and used people to get what she wanted... But somehow she turned things on me and made me feel like I was the problem, or I was not living up to certain expectations.
2) you are making excuses for her actions in order to cope with not feeling crappy about her actions. Well she was hanging with this other guy, but well, they weren't having incredible mind blowing sex.. They were just having a intimate 1 on 1 dinner alone without me, where he pays for dinner and gives her attention, and she soaks it up.. But just as friends, because without sex its ok? Right?
No... Wrong.. Stop giving her the benefit of the doubt because there is no sex. Emotionally she isn't 100% there for you and is seeking attention from other men.
You have to let her go 100%. The second my girlfriend wants to go out alone with another guy, where he pays for it, and they do this more than 1 or 2 times... There is a problem. I have never said, man I want to go out with this smoking hot blonde chick I work with, but just as friends, and buy her dinner, while my girlfriend sits home alone and watches american idol.
You are worth way more. It took me along time to realize that I was worth way more than that selfish crap. If a girl wants to see other guys, move on. Stop trying to win her to your side, and stop trying to accept that you have issues and you are the reason she hangs with other guys. She wants to be with you, or she wants to be single and free. You being the perfect boyfriend isn't going to make her stop needing acceptance from other guys. Go with your initial gut instinct. If you feel so bad that she's seeing other dudes and having "friendly dinners" then get rid of that from your life. I have been there, I know what I'm talking about. Its just going to bite you in the until you remove it from your life. | | |  | Senior Family & People Expert | |

Id just like to know why I shouldn't give her this letter?
| Because your emotional, distraught, and your in shock over the break up, and need time for the emotional dust to settle, so you can make better decisions, based on facts, and not just feelings. Quote: | she has told me she needs a little time to sort her head out, this is the second day that I haven't spoken to her and it is so so hard for me, its cutting me up inside.
| The main reason you shouldn't send that letter, is she told you to give her time space, and sending that letter ignores what she has asked from you. Sorry guy, if you can't wait on her to sort her head out, what message does that convey to her, as to how you feel about her? The letter makes it worse. Like, its all about your own needs, and not hers. That's selfish, don't you think? | | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | Add your answer here.
