The Best Letters of Apology to A Girlfriend Are Heartfelt

Saying sorry to someone you love is never easy because there's so much at stake. You're in crisis mode, panicked, and not necessarily thinking straight.

That's what makes writing a sincere apology letter to your girlfriend that much more difficult.



Whether you've been a jerk, guilty of hurting her, got caught lying to her, cheating on her, had a fight or have trust issues, you need to acknowledge what you've done and take full responsibility.

When passion is involved, feelings of regret and remorse reach a whole new level.


How To Apologize To Your Girlfriend

1. Start your letter by acknowledging her hurt and validating her feelings.

2. Tell her how sorry you are and how much you want to fix everything.

3. Be completely honest. Let her know how important she is to you.

4. Take full responsibility and ask her for forgiveness.

5. Promise and prove to her that it won't happen again.
