The
Apology Board The Apology Board is a listing of apologies sent
in by our readers over the years. We have since replaced this board with our
apology pages section and will no longer post these types of short
sentiments.
We found that our readers want to read much longer and more heartfelt
apologies so we provided a forum for them to post their mea culpas on
their very own dedicated pages.
We encourage you to post your own apologies.
Keep in mind that they should be much longer than many of the ones originally posted
to this board and truly heartfelt.

Dear Jo Jo,
You have been so good to me. I in return have doubted you and felt Jealous of
your past relationships. To the point that I contacted your ex's ex via social
media and flirted with them.
I am sorry for this and hope to never do such a thing again.
I love you forever, H

Dear Tangguh,
I am so sorry, I know I've let you down so many times and I know that you're
sick of me. I just realized how I really feel about you. I love you so much,
it's true that we don't know what we had until we lose it. I promise you, I
won't let you down ever again if we could get back again. I still love you.

Anthony, I want to apologize for having to send you a letter
to tell you how I was feeling about things. By doing that I didn't give you a
chance to express your side and that was very selfish of me. I've not taken
your feelings into consideration because I've been too focused on mine. Well,
if you'll be so kind, I'd love to sit down and listen. We have made some
pretty good memories (;) do you remember that?) and though things can't be the
same I really want us to be in one another's lives. Anthony buddy, can you
please accept my apology?

Dear Frosty,
I'm sorry I judged you. You should be able to make your own friends, no matter
what side they're on... I regret blowing up like that.
Even though Stone and Kind are mad at me, I'm hoping you'll forgive me where
they probably won't. I can't stay away from the forums, or from my friends. I
know I hurt your feeling and the guilt chokes me.
Best of luck with your problem...

Dear Saand,
I know you'll never read this but at least posting
it here will reduce a little burden from my heart.
I have loved you since the
day we talked for the first time. You treated me like a brother and I told you
that I love you like a brother, but that is not true.
Baby I want you to be my life partner. I know you might find it disrespectful
and insulting but that is how it is. Baby, I know you have had a heart break
before and do not trust men anymore but I also know the fact that you trust me,
you care for me and wish me well always. Baby I love you more than you can ever
imagine.
I'm not sorry for loving you, I'll never be but I'm sorry for not letting you
know before, because I thought you would be hurt and extremely disappointed.
Now that you are ignoring me because of some reason, I couldn't hold my tears
back, I cried and cried all night and am crying while writing this and was
forced by my heart to write my feelings for you even though I might not find
the courage to tell you that I love like a lover, not as a brother or a simple
friend.
Hope you'll realize that someday and tell me that you love me too, just like
that.
Sam

Aaron, I'm sorry for the way I've been acting and reacting
towards you. You deserve the best in the world, and I haven't been giving you
that. I promise to keep trying and to try harder. I know that times are hard
right now and that we are both stressed out, but regardless of what's going on,
you deserve for me to be stable and constantly show you the love that you show
me. I don't want to lose you. I want to be with you the rest of my life. I hope
that you still feel the same way. I know that the love we share is stronger
than these petty arguments. I'm asking for your forgiveness. I hope you have
just a bit more to give. I promise to be better and to try harder. You are
everything to me. Please don't let me go.
I love you so much.

Pedro Z... I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for that
day. I was trying to tell you something very important and you didn't want to
hear what I had to say. I miss hearing your voice and having you next to me
when I wake up on the weekends. I wish that we could start over and I
understand if you don't want to see me anymore.
I had so much fun with you and
truly enjoyed you. I have a hard time letting people be nice to me and you were
super wonderful. So this is me swallowing my pride saying I'm so sorry and
please can we try again. I still have to tell you what you didn't let me finish
that day... Please?? Give me one more chance? ~K~

Dear Gabi...
I am beyond sorry. Last night was supposed to be one of the best nights of your
life, and dumb drama ruined it all. I didn't plan for you to have to see or
hear any of that, or actually for anyone to see or hear it ever. I think it
happened last night because of the combination of people, hormones, and maybe a
little because of the alcohol. I hope you know that I would never intentionally
ruin your birthday, and please don't take it personally, it was just horrible
timing.
Of course I see Becca every day at school, but I wasn't strong enough
to build up the courage to tell her what happened until yesterday. Last night I
knew that I needed time to tell her, and I knew that I wouldn't have the same
opportunity if I waited until Tuesday. Also I really didn't want to risk
someone else telling her before I did. She needed to hear it from me because
it's half my fault. I do care about Becca a lot even though we didn't use to
get along, and I really do want her to be happy.
Everyone talking about the
situation behind my back, and also right in front of me, made me feel like I
needed to get it off my chest once and for all. I don't know what exactly
pushed me to do it, but I did. And it happened, and there's nothing we can do
about it now. All I can hope is that you will believe me when I say I would
never hurt you on purpose because you are one of my best friends, and I care
about your birthday being a really special day. I hope at least the beginning
of your night was good and that overall you had a good time at your party. I'm
so sorry that drama from last year had to mess it up. I love you girl...

I know that you will never see this as the internet is too
large, but I realize that I have been hanging onto a dream that will never come
true. Even though I will always love you and even though we have been together
for a long time, all the indicators were there, we never got married, or had
kids, but it was not because I did not want to, I just did not want to with
you. Before more time passes I want to end our relationships before it is too
late for both of us to find happiness.
This part is the worst part of all that
after over 13 years of being together, I have done something that disrespects
us both, slept with another man...what is the worst part is the second I did it I
realized it was the biggest mistake I could make, one you would not make but a
reverse way to make it easier to end this relationship. I will never tell you
any of this only that I know we both know we need to separate especially as
I know the truth would hurt you down to the core. Before anymore damage can be
done, know this I love you more than words can express...and I will never be
sorry enough.

Jefferey,
I remember the times we shared together. The passion we felt when we were with
each other and the phone calls we had when we were not.
But deep in the crevices of my heart I knew it was too good to last.
Why is fate so cruel? I explained my circumstances to you before we became
lovers. So why were you so surprised when I ended it? Why are you determined
to have me back? My circumstances have not changed.
I read once, "If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you then it is
yours. If it doesn't then it was never meant to be..."
Please let me go. If the fates would have it then some time later - when all my
shit is worked out - then we'll be together again. If not then just appreciate
what we had. I have no regrets that I fell in love with you. My life is richer
for that fact.
Take care my love. Please accept this parting and know that it hurts me as much
as it hurts you.
I will always love you.

K, when we talked earlier, I said something I shouldn't have
and now all I want is to take it back. It was cruel and uncalled for and all it
did was escalate the situation. Things have changed between us and for a long
time now, I've been struggling with our relationship and how it was going to
work. Now, things may never be the same between us and I'm truly sorry for
that.
I hope you can forgive me and things can go back to the way they were,
years ago. If not, I understand and only wish you the best. I just want you to
be happy. I feel terrible about this and wish I could change the past, but I
can't, and this apology is the best I can do.

D...
I can't tell you how sorry I am. I wish I could take the words back.
We used to talk every day and now, almost a month has gone by and though you
say we are okay, I know we are not.
I miss you in my life, the time we spent together, everything...
I wish you would truly forgive me and let me back in....
I'm sorry I never realized how sensitive you are... I know I used my words to
wound.
I love you still.

Posted to the Apology Board by W.
I realize that you will never read this. Ever. But at least
this will make me sleep. I broke up with you four months ago and have regretted
it ever since. And I have shown you in every possible way, breaking your heart
every time. I am sorry for that. I am also sorry for telling lies over and over
and over again. I am sorry that I have ruined several nights and I will promise
I will never do so ever again. If you want me to disappear from your life I
will. But I won't stop loving you and I won't stop thinking about you, and I
hope that one day we will meet again and that we can laugh about this.
Until we meet again,
W.

Christos K. I am sorry!!!!
I let you down. I treated you like rubbish, and I could not appreciate what you
were trying to do for me and for us.
You must know it was never my intention to hurt you, I do love you dearly and
miss you very much, but you must understand I felt pressured and disengaged
with what you were trying to do, I wasn't ready, and I did make it impossible
for you, I know.
Like I said, I hope you are happy and you have found some comfort and balance
in life, I'll always be around if you ever need me and you'll always be in my
thoughts.
I really am sorry.
Posted to the Apology Board by Karen
Kevin,
I know you probably will not see this, but I want you to know how sorry I am.
I
lied to you, my friend, and that was wrong. A lie is a lie no matter how big or
small, and we all tell them, no one is exempt. You have lied to me over and
over again and each time you asked me to forgive you, I did.
Now I ask you for
forgiveness and you cant do the same for me. I know I have caused you
unbearable pain, however pain is a two way street. God says you must forgive
others if you want to be forgiven by him. I have said I am sorry, I admitted my
wrongs to you, and you still wont speak to me. I am going to give this some
time and pray to God that you will see that I am truly sorry and that you can
trust me again. I have always been there for you whenever you needed me, now I
need you to be here for me. Please forgive me.
I have asked Gods forgiveness
and he has given it, my heart is clean and I'm going to move on with my life, I
can only hope that you are willing to give me a second chance and forgive me, but if not, then it is what is is and I have to move on
without you in my life. In order to be forgiven you must first forgive
yourself, and I forgive myself. I love you with all of my heart don't let the 10
years we have had together be all in vain.
Love, Karen S
Posted to the Apology Board by Matthew
I ask you listen to me. Know that I am sorry, sorry for
everything I said. For everything I did, and for everything I didn't do. I wish
that I could wave a wand an make everything go back to normal, but I don't
deserve that. You deserved better than what I had to offer. I wasn't the man
who you needed and certainly not the man who I should have been. I am ashamed
of myself for the way I acted at the end, it was selfish and uncalled for. I
just hope that one day you will be able to forgive me, and I hope that you will
find the man that will be right for you.
Posted to the Apology Board by M.
I realize that you'll never see this, and this will only make
me feel better -- but I wish there was a way that I could tell you this.
You told me that, if I left you again, I could never come back. And I told you
I wouldn't leave. And I did. And choosing him over you was the biggest
mistake of my life. I justify it by telling myself that I could not have
continued to make you happy -- and I'm probably right. But, at that age, I
took the chicken's way out, and did not deal with you honestly -- and for
that, I am really sorry.
I was making a choice based on fears about who I was
and what I was capable of. And, now, I know that I could've been a better
person if I'd chosen you.
I'm so very sorry for hurting you. If it's any consolation, I ended up hurting
myself a lot more.
Posted to the Apology Board by Kaylee
I'm so sorry for lying too you. It was the biggest mistake I
have ever made. If I could go back and change it I would. You are my
everything. I have no idea what I would do without you. You are my first love.
<3 and I would do anything for you I mean ANYTHING. I don't deserve to be
forgiven, I don't deserve any of the love you have shown me, but I would love
one more chance. <3 I LOVE YOU.

To my sweetest red head,
You know, it's been 12 years since the day I broke up with you. It's been 11
years since the day I regret ever doing so. I broke your heart, but in reality,
it's my heart that has been torn to pieces.
The day I told you I couldn't be with you anymore, was the same day you said,
"I'd regret it, because once I do, you are never coming back."
It's been 3 years since we last bumped into each other. While you always put on
a happy face, talking to me as if we were never together, I was hurting even
more just because I wasn't able to express to you how sorry I am.
For the past 7 years I've dreamed of you, your long straight beautiful hair,
blue eyes looking at me, smiling, as we hold each other.
I've never realized that while I tried to apologize to you through the use of
social networks, never once did I think subconsciously, maybe, just maybe for
once, I can look at you in my dream, and tell you how sorry I am... I've lived
life going through other relationships, and at 33 now, I still miss that
beautiful red head of mine.
I love you and always will.

Clinton,
I'm sorry for letting us drift out of contact at a time when you needed support
most. I knew you were having trouble with both your work and your
relationships, and you yourself were making overtures in order to reconnect but
I let it drift.
You were so sincere when helping me out with my problems at work, but when you
moved away and needed my help I easily ignored your problems.
I don't deserve you reaching your hand out to give me another chance, but one
day I hope to.
Posted to the Apology Board by Sarah Rae
Dear Gem...
I'm sorry. I'm a complete bitch for treating you like that. I'm not surprised
if you never speak to me ever again but please, just let me say sorry to you
face to face.
You've been my best friend for 2 years and I managed to mess it all up in 4
days. I've been feeling so bad and every single time someone mentions you, they
say what a great person you are and that just makes me feel even worse for
treating you like I did.
I didn't mean to say the things I did in the way I did. You know that I'd never
spread rumours about you and I'd never EVER say that you'd cheat on Alex
because you two are just perfect. I hadn't seen you happier until you met him.
He obviously makes you feel special and the fact that you thought that I'd say
that you'd done something against it makes me sad and angry.
I love you Gem and please let me say sorry properly.

Masik,
I hope whenever we fight like this, we can fix it before dawn and not
letting it continue to the next day. Because we never know what will happen tomorrow. I
know I hurt you and I want to make it right.....I just want you to know that there
are things that we both really need to understand and talk about.....not to avoid,
guessing, hoping or perhaps-ing.

I so want to be with you. You mean so much more to me than I could ever express
in words. The thought of being without you, hurts more than anything has ever
hurt before. I know I have hurt you, angered you, disrespected you tonight. I
want to make it right again. I want us to be right. I am so very sorry. I love
you with all my heart and soul. Love, Your Sam xoxo

Dear Booger... I know I already told you, but I'm very sorry.
I made a big mistake plus some more. You, out of everyone I know, deserves me
making those mistakes the least. I feel horrible and I can't stop thinking how wrong I was.
Even after I told
you I would be so nice I was so mean! It couldn't get any worse. I realized this weekend how much I like you. It's incredible. I mean I've liked
you since the day I met you, but now all I can hear is Joni Mitchell singing
"you don't know what you've got til it's gone" playing in my head.
But I hope
you're not all the way gone yet and I'm holding on really tight to the little
thread that hooks me to you. After this weekend, I've decided deep way down inside of that I'm going to make
the most honest effort to be a better person and cut down on my bad habits.
You are such a wonderful person and deserve the best so I'm going to try to be
the best!!!
I hope that one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

I don't want to appear passive-aggressive in this, so I want
to preface that that is not my intent. It is my fault that I had any
expectations of you. I realize this now, and I am sorry I held you up to them.
I know that I will never be as important to you as I want to be. I will not
share any important moments with you, and I apologize for hating you for that.
You never made me any promises, but I misinterpreted so much. Not your fault,
it was mine. I really hope your life is fantastic and fun and interesting, but
knowing I will be no big part in it makes me not want any part at all.
Again,
misinterpretation and my fault not yours. So now I have to forgive myself for
thinking any of it was ever more than it was and wish you well in your
relationship with her, or anyone else with whom you take that plunge. I know it
would never be me. I am really sorry that I let myself be your joke for such a
long time.

Dear Kate, Haley, Paige, and Emily,
I'm so sorry I betrayed you guys and I can't believe I would break a promise
and lie to myself. I'm so disappointed in myself. I'm not even asking for you
to forgive me I just wanted to tell you I truly am sorry for everything. I
shouldn't have told Sam because secrets are not for other people to hear and
"what happens in Kate's basement stays in Kate's basement" <3 lol
I decided I need to change because I've lose all your trust so first I'll start
off by not lying because I've realized lies are like band-aids... They can only
cover up the problem for so long I'm so glad I got to have friends like you and
I hope we can put this all behind us
I love you all<3

Dear Professor G,
I apologize for arriving late in the middle of class and then dropping my paper
in the folder right next to you when you were giving a lecture. Then walking
out right after. I didn't mean to be disrespectful, I wasn't thinking too
straight that morning. My thoughts were in a mess and I felt horrible for what
I did. Though my grades might suffer, my guilt chokes more. I'm sorry is all I
can say, for offending you and the rest of the class.

Leah, I'm sorry I'm not there for you. You shouldn't be going

know you'd give your left leg to be where I am.
I want you to know that I'll help you and I'll fight with you until this is all
resolved.
You are much better than this. You're smarter than this, and so much
more beautiful. I'll do what I can to make you see that.
I'm so sorry for not
being there. I'm so sorry that I moved away. I'm so sorry I can't tell you in
person that you don't need to change yourself. I need you. Don't leave me. I'm
so sorry.

Ryan....summer of 1970...I hope what I did to you has never
affected your life....but I would think that it did in some way. How could it
not? I was terribly wrong, I am sorry, and I hope you have not suffered in any
way because of me.
I have thought about you for many, many years. I have wanted
to find you (I've actually Googled quite a bit and think I know where you are)
and ask your forgiveness, but am afraid to confess openly...if it became
public, I would never be trusted again by anyone.
I have asked God for
forgiveness and will answer to Him someday. He forgave, and I have the expected
consequences of my guilt and having this in my past history. I think about that
a lot, but I think about my sin against you more. I was so young and vulnerable
and stupid, but you were even younger. You trusted me. Frankly, I do not know
why I did it. I want you to know I never did it again and, it is almost 41
years ago. Please forgive me. I hope you are OK.

Hayley,
I want to start by saying: I am the worst friend ever. You said you weren't mad
but I don't believe that for two seconds...
I really don't understand what's
going on with you, like if you're mad or just trying to avoid the fact your
mad. Whatever the case may be, I'M SORRY. I know it was wrong and I regret it.
I want to know what I could possibly do to make it up to you cause your
friendship means the world to me. I love you with all my heart and I CAN'T LOSE
YOU. If I lose you I don't know what I'll do. But you need to know, I AM SO SORRY; and
even if you aren't mad at me you deserve a big apology. I understand how much
you must hate me right now but please understand I didn't think you would ever
talk to him. It was so wrong though. I really, truly am sorry. I hope you can
forgive, forget, and start over.<3

I've wanted to tell you all this for a long time, but I haven't been able to
find the courage. However, if you SOMEHOW read this, I know that you were meant
to know. I know I said I was over you, but I didn't mean it at all. And I'm
sorry if I hurt you by saying that, but I was just so hurt by what you did. The
truth is, I think I'm in love with you. You are all I want. I went on a date
with someone yesterday and when he kissed me, all that was going through my
head was you. I hope sooo much that someday we can get back what we had and
more.

so sorry baby. I want to tell you but I can't, because then you'll leave me and
it will be my fault. I love you baby

I don't even want to think about it. It was the fall of
1967. Charlie and I went over to Ohio State because we were dings (opposite of
BMOCs) at Denison. Somebody knew somebody and Charlie called a blind date and
set me up with her friend. We said we'd meet in the lobby of their high rise
dorm. We were off to the side and when his date came out of the elevator, he didn't like her looks so we split.She was all dressed up to go out. I can
still see her standing there, looking for us. Argh! Major guilt still. If I were an alcoholic on the twelve-step program,
I'd have to find her to apologize. Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea.
It'd certainly be cathartic.
Maybe I should start a website of apologies. It has probably been done. I'll
check that out (which I did and so here I am)
Anyway, I'm really sorry. ladies. I wish I could have a do-over and take you
out for a beer and a sandwich, tell you how nice you look, and thank you for
the privilege of meeting you.
I'm sure it was my loss.....Ken

far...we could have been great together but I ruined that and since I will
never see you again (since I am such a punk that I won't go do this face to

Jay, I am so sorry.
I had no intention of hurting you. But that's all I seem to be good at. I'm
constantly saying I'm sorry and every time I mean it. I know I promised I'd
never do this to you again. And for that I'm sorry too.
Honestly I'm surprised
you're still my friend. That just shows how great you are. I'm an idiot for
letting this fade away. And again I have something to regret. I hate knowing
that I continue to hurt you. I often think that you should let me go, but that
would only leave me in worse shape than you found me. I've realized what I've
caused you and finally started listening. And things have gotten better. I
trust you more than anyone. You tell me I don't owe you anything but really I
feel I owe you my life. You have had the biggest impact on my life.
You may not
believe me when I say I have changed. I could never let you go, but I will at
your discretion. I am truly sorry. Please understand that.

Dear Paula,
I love your son. I love him more than you can imagine. This war that we have
going on has lasted long enough. I hate it. My husband hates it. And I'm sure
you hate it as well. I'm sorry for the things that I've said to you over the
years. I don't even know how this feud got its start. All I know is I want to
make up for lost times and finally be welcomed into your family. I can only
hope you accept my apology and put the past behind us.

Hi Gorgeous,
I'm sorry for hurting you in the way that I did. I don't know why I did it. I
never should have, it was our time and I ruined it. I really felt like I didn't
deserve you and I was confused and jealous. I'm deeply and truly sorry for
everything. When I did apologize I didn't know how to say it and it
sounded like I didn't mean it. I'm deeply and truly sorry for hurting you, I
never wanted to do that. I made a mistake and it's something I have to live
with.
We had a lot of good times together and I should have told you a long time ago
that I loved you then, but I was afraid that you would have ran away. I was so
afraid to not have you in my life that I never told you how I really felt about
you. I know that probably doesn't make sense, but I was so afraid of losing you
as a friend. Then to lose you because of what I did. Then to actually lose you
before I could sincerely apologize. I feel horrible about it and I can't even
talk to you and ask for forgiveness.
I'm sorry that I never got to tell you that before you left me forever. I do
love you and I'm so sorry. I wish I could go back and fix it, but I can't. I
only hope that you have forgiven me and that someday we will be together again
forever. I love you and I miss you SMH more than you will ever know. I'm very
sorry Gorgeous

Dear Gavin,
I remember the first time I saw you. You were across the room from me, talking
to some of the guys from church. I thought you were incredibly handsome even
then.
On Friday night Darren came up to my house. He told me he had missed seeing me
around, and then he kissed me. I didn't really have time to react before he
walked away.
I'm sorry. You have no idea how bad I feel about this. I messed up hugely. I
promise you it will never happen again.
I know I've hurt you, and for that I'm more sorry than I will ever be able to
express. If I could turn back time, I would have by now. I would have fixed
this, stopped it before it happened. As it is, all I can do is apologise
sincerely, from the bottom of my heart.
I love you more than I love life. I know I've said before that I will always
love you. I meant it then, and I mean it now. Even if you decide that this was
too big to forgive, I will still always love you.
I know you no longer have reason to trust me. Please let me know what is going
to happen next, via whatever means you think is best.
Rebecca

Patrick,
I know that there have been so many times I've hurt you because of my selfish
actions and thoughtlessness. There is no reason that I should be able to treat
you this way. For some reason when things are going right I feel the need to
self destruct and that maybe on some level I don't deserve to be in a
relationship with someone that actually loves me. I'm not sure why I feel this
way, but regardless deep down I do.
I wish that I could be okay and not feel
the need to ruin things. I've had to work so hard for all of the things I do
have that maybe because you are right there I don't feel that I've worked hard
enough to deserve you.
If there is any part of you that still loves me, maybe
you could see that I am human, and I have a lot of issues, but there is a lot
of love for you here-it just depends if you still want that from me. I wish I
could take back all of my hurtful actions and we could start all over. But
this is real life and that wish is impossible.
From the
bottom of my heart and from all that I am, I love you and am truly, truly
sorry for hurting you with my thoughtless, selfish actions.

Dear Allain...I'm so sorry about what I did. You might think I didn't value our friendship
but it's really very important to me because you were the first person in Huasiong that made me feel welcome.Without you, I wouldn't be energetic as I am
now. I'm probably the most pathetic friend you ever had. I'm very angry with
myself for what I did. So pls. Forgive me. Dui bu qi,Cheng Li An.
Your Best Friend,

Jay, I'm so sorry. I did not intend to hurt you. I questioned you and that was
my mistake. I value our friendship more than I show. You've always been
there for me. I always say I have no regrets but I truly regret hurting you.
I promise to never do this to you again. You are easily the best
person that has come into my life. I've had a lot to deal with but that still
doesn't make things right. I've been a fool and I know that whatever I do,
even if you forgive me it still doesn't take away the fact that I once hurt you.
I know my actions upset you, and I feel that pain too. You're always looking
out for me. You have shown me what I chose to ignore, you help me
understand. You are part of the few that know who I am and what I've been
through, and you see me for me not who I try to be.
I haven't been a good
friend and that this is only one sided. I had a feeling I was hurting you but I didn't
want to believe it, but now that you've said it I can hardly stand myself. You deserve so much more, so much better than I'm giving and I'm sorry
for that too. I hope you accept my apologies but I understand if you don't.
Please be patient with me.

Baby, I'm sorry for being so insensitive. I do get really
crazy and angry with my depression and I regret taking it out on you ever so
much. I just want us to be happy, and I get impatient. I know I cant justify
what I said to you, but I really didn't see it as depreciating your love for
me. I just let my emotions get the better of me and I say stupid things.
If I
ever lost you, I would be lost myself. I love you so much that it goes without
saying, and sometimes I forget that I still have to say it because it's not
like you can read my thoughts. If you could, I know you would never feel
unappreciated.
I am sorry I made you feel unloved. I was just picking a fight.
Our love feels so permanent that maybe I just take it for granted sometimes.
But I will never do that again. I will spend the rest of my life loving you
extra to prove it to you.

Dear Monika....
The past month almost two months you have been there for me. And I loved every
bit of it, and I'm glad your my friend. And I'm truly sorry for taking all my
bottled up anger and letting it out on you. I hope some way you can find it in
your heart to forgive me, I am trying really hard. It was really wrong of me,
I'm sorry

Hunny I'm sorry. I didn't want to make you upset, but I
couldn't just tolerate the pain... Hunny bunny I'm still afraid. I'm afraid
that you didn't mean it, that you'd rather I didn't lean on you when I'm in
pain. I'm afraid that you don't love me, that you're angry at me. So I'm sorry.
Please forgive me Hun, please tell me you still love me.
I will always love
you!
I'm just sorry for all the things I've done wrong in this
relationship. I'm new to this, but I want everything to work out! I've made
plenty of mistakes and I'm sorry. Sorry boo boo boy... :) You're so amazing and
of course you don't deserve the mistakes I've made! You deserve the best and I
promise to try to give you that for the rest of your life.

I am writing to apologise to Alice M. We were together
for 5 years and have now been apart for about the same. I had found probably
the perfect girl for me and threw it all away because of my own pathetic ego. I
loved attention from other women and although never tempted, near the end of
our relationship I gave in.You never deserved that Alice and my apology will never be enough, despite now
being happily married. To this day I still think about you and wonder what you
are doing. whatever that is, I hope more than anything you are happy, as you
deserve to be.
I never stopped loving you throughout our relationship and you were the
kindest, sweetest person I've ever known.

I would like to apologize to Barbara D. I was a bad
husband and regret very much how I treated you. It has been 48 years since I've
seen you. Hope you've had a nice life.
Posted to the Apology Board by J.P.
Michael,
I'm sorry I got so upset that night, that I questioned you, that I didn't
believe you, and that instead of just walking away from our heated argument, I
slapped you. I didn't think I could ever do that, nor did I think you were
capable of what followed.
My life had been forever changed by your love, and in
that moment, was forever changed by your rage. If I could rewind to that
evening, that was full of fun & laughs, kissing & dancing, and change that
second ...I would in a heartbeat. That car ride home was the scariest and most
heartbreaking moment of my life. I loved our passion, and I am so sorry it was
what ruined us.
I'm sorry I moved on so quickly. That was an awful large hole in my heart that
you left...and I couldn't live like that. The man I now call my husband mended
my heart & soul, gave me back my old self, and I absolutely adore him.
~ But I will always be sorry for that night, and I will always love you.

Dear Catherine,
I lost a lot of sleep last night feeling so ashamed of myself for talking
behind your back. I don't even really know why I did it. The truth is, I value
our friendship a lot more than I showed. I respect you and admire you in so
many ways. You've always been true to me and have always been there for me.
Then I did what I did!
There are no words powerful enough to express my deep
regret and heartfelt apology. I'll never do this to you again. I promise.
Please, give our friendship another chance. If you don't, I understand.
Apologizing is so hard for me, but for you I'll do it over and over.
I'm sorry
Catherine. I really am.
Love,
Brenda

I'm closing in on 60 and only now realizing that I'm actually
a pretty weird geek; and while the instances of my being deliberately and
intentionally mean or cruel are very few and far between, I have been prone
most of my life to blurting out things that, in retrospect, make sense to me
but could easily be seen as unkind or insensitive.
I hope to deliver specific apologies in person sometime before I kick the
bucket; but in the meantime, to all family, friends, acquaintances, schoolmates
in kindergarten through grad programs, work colleagues, teachers, service
providers, and total strangers: I apologize sincerely if I said something that
hurt or alarmed or even really, really annoyed you. You can rest assured that
the odds are excellent that I didn't mean anything unkind.
I'm very
introverted and socially awkward, and I just think in weird ways. The
connections obvious to me are not, I know now, obvious to others, and no reason
why they should be.
I'm definitely trying hard to do better.

RJ,
I didn't know exactly how to apologize or what way I could say I'm sorry that
you would accept...and as you know I am not always the best at this...so here
it goes...
I was wrong and I'm sorry. I was wrong to have opened your bag and pull out the
book you purchased. That is an invasion of privacy and it is wrong. I know I
was/am wrong for doing that...no excuses, no rationalizations, no comparisons
of what you have done that is similar, because the fact is, this was my
responsibility and my responsibility alone to do the right thing and I didn't.
Do you want to know the irony? Yesterday as we were delivering cakes to the
neighbors, I was looking at you thinking how wonderful it would be to have you
beside me doing that forever. I was excited about the idea of us having family
over together for the first time and then the cake delivery. Probably stupid to
you, but it meant a lot to me and got me very excited.
I hope you are ok as I haven't heard from you. Please let me say again I am
sorry and I was wrong.
Love,
Andrea

Ruth,
I am so very sorry about the way I treated you. You are easily the best thing
that has ever happened to me, and I was too goddamned stupid to realize it.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
When you said, "We have no future" to me on
the phone after we last saw each other face-to-face, my spirits fell with the
crushing realization that you were lost to me forever and that it was entirely
my fault. I was such an idiot. You deserve so much better, and I fell so far
short. I don't know what else to say. I could say "I'm sorry" from now until
the day I die and it wouldn't be enough.
You are so smart, so beautiful, so
super-competent, so accomplished, so funny--just so awesome; easily the most
incredible person who has ever come into my life--and I didn't even realize it
at the time (Don't get me wrong: I knew you are super-smart,
-talented,-competent,-accomplished,-funny,-incredible--I just can't believe
that I didn't make you feel as loved, protected, honored, valued, and
just-plain worshipped as you deserve each and every day and each and every
time we were together).
You deserve no less. Knowing that I'm not there to
kiss away your tears is just killing me inside. I am so very sorry, Ruth. You
deserve so much better.

Dear Michelle Y.
I'm really sorry for what happened last Thursday. I shouldn't have let my
emotions get in the way and causing me to hit you hardly. I finally realized
that I was wrong. For what we have shared before, the wonderful times we've
had, I will cherish it forever and I won't forget the day we first met at
school.
Right now, I am trying my best to change for the better, though you may
not believe me as of the meantime; But hopefully, there will come a time that
we can talk to each other again. By the way, I'd also like to thank you for the
text messages that you've sent today. God Bless You and I hope to see you
again. I love you.
Yours truly,
Melanie

Dear David,
I am so sorry for the abuse that you suffered
while I was in your life. My actions were unconscionable. I wish that I could
go back and do it all over again - right. Your anger is justified. I have no
excuse for my behavior. My fervent prayer is that I can see you someday and
make this earnest apology in person, but I won't try to contact you again.
I
love you, Becky

To my parents: I'm sorry for lying all the time. I'm sorry
for not believing you. I'm sorry for doing things that can get you into
trouble. I'm sorry I've lost your trust. Sorry.
my friends: I'm sorry for neglecting you. I'm sorry for not always being
there. I'm sorry for being such an emotional wreck. I'm sorry for not being
there more often. Sorry.
To my boyfriend: I'm sorry for not trusting you more. I'm sorry for being so
paranoid. I'm sorry I don't like those girls. I'm sorry I sometimes have
horrible/wayward thoughts. Sorry.
To myself: I'm sorry I've been so selfish. I'm sorry I've changed so much.
I'm sorry I don't know what's going on right now. I'm sorry I can't make the
right decisions. Sorry.

Dear me,
I'm sorry. I haven't respected you. I've let a silly high school crush get in

him, but I deserve some of it too, after all I put up with it for a month. It's

fix this frame of mind, change it so that it can be focused on things that are

Dear Mei,
I am thinking and I am trying to come up with something that I can tell you
so that you can forgive me, so I came up with this.
Baby, I'm so sorry that I
hurt you with something that I thought it was going to be funny. I didn't mean
to hurt you, I didn't mean to make you feel bad and mostly I never wanted this
fight to happen.
I know that whatever I say can be bs to you, but trust me baby
it comes from my heart. Please forgive me for being an idiot. I can see that
you love me and you trust me because if you didn't, you wouldn't be here with
all the times I have messed up.
Thank you for just being you. TE AMO. Your
prince, Chris

I am so sorry I have been having an affair with
your husband. I should have broken it off when I found out that when he said
"separated" he meant you were away at school.
If it helps, he's thrown me over for another woman. Yes, it's that woman you
thought he was having an affair with and he told you no. I had no idea they've
been together over a year.
And if it makes you feel any better, her husband doesn't know about the affair,
either.
Again, I am truly sorry. I will never have anything to do with your husband
ever again but I wanted to explain why I can't be your friend on Facebook.

Matt--I'm sorry that I wrote to him. I'm sorry that I lied to you and hurt you the
way I did. You are right, I'm selfish and immature. I don't deserve to be

want a divorce I understand. You are my best friend.

We were in 8th grade together in Catholic school in Monmouth
County, and just before I got off the school bus, I changed what I had told
you, and announced before I got off the bus that some girls were right who said
I really wasn't interested in you.
I never gave you a real explanation and
worst of all, I said what I said in front of everyone on the bus. I am SO
SORRY.
Truth is, I couldn't handle a relationship then, and - this is no
excuse - I was going to go to a new school and my mother was very ill and my
father was always at work and I was so scared. I could barely handle
everything that life was throwing at me, much less a relationship playing out
in front of the other kids at school.
I hope you are OK! I hope that you were
more mature than I at that time (you seemed to be) and that you understood that
I was being totally inappropriate and juvenile. I am so very sorry to have
embarrassed and hurt you in such a cruel way.
