You may feel inclined to write a sorry letter to your girlfriend after your break up in an attempt to get her back.
This seems like a reasonable thing to do, doesn't it? You spend some time writing down exactly what you are feeling, you pour your heart and soul into the letter and you believe that once she reads it she won't have a choice but to run back to you.
That's rarely the case.
Chances are much better that if you write her a letter, you'll lose her for good.
In addition to not taking the effort to write a sorry letter to girlfriend, you also shouldn't call or text her.
Emotions are at an all time high once a relationship ends.
You'll feel a compulsion to contact her if you are still in love with her.
Doing that can actually destroy any future you may have had with her.
A much better approach is to simply give her some distance and focus on the other areas of your life.
If you feel badly about something you did during the relationship and you do want to apologize, there's something better than to write a sorry letter to your girlfriend.
Briefly call her and tell her that you are sorry.
Make it a short and sincere apology.
No need to go into a long and drawn out speech about why you did what you did.
Instead, tell her that you realize your mistake and that you've learned from it.
That one gesture will impact the dynamic of the relationship between you two much more than any letter ever could.
After you've made that call it's time to respect your girlfriend's desire to have time apart.
You need to work on making your life better and you need to do that alone.
Give her a chance to sort through her feelings and allow her the opportunity to miss you.
She needs to miss you if you want to get her back for good.
