An apology
to an ex.
Apologies to exes go wrong when they're actually attempts to reconnect. Yours can be the version that finishes the conversation instead of restarting it.
Example output
Sam — I'm writing this knowing you don't owe me a response, and I don't expect one.
I've been thinking, with a year's distance, about how I handled the last six months we were together. I was not okay, and I took some of that out on you, and I told myself at the time it was about you. It wasn't. I'm sorry.
I'm not writing this to reopen anything. I'm writing it because I would feel small not writing it, and I think you deserved a clearer version than the one I gave you when it was happening.
I hope you're well. Genuinely.
— Alex

Common questions
- What if I don't fully feel ready to apologize?
- Then you're not. Don't send a letter you don't mean. But if you do mean it, we'll help you say it.
- Can I make it less formal?
- Pick the "personal" or "romantic" tone — letter becomes warmer, less business-like.
